I am enjoying the BARTIMAEUS TRILOGY like no other books I have
enjoyed before. I spent all day yesterday in bed -- I was overdue
for a lazy day -- and I finished Book 2. I plan to start Book 3
tonight.
These books are in the preteen category. If I had to compare them
to Harry Potter -- Ok, I can't compare them. They are different.
Definitely a little more dark and evil. A friend of mine is reading
them also... (shhh, I might have the makings of a book club. Like
a real book club where I actually read the books). She invited me
over a few weeks ago and we watched the film adaptation of ERAGON,
which was of course, awful, but it was fun as a way to talk about
the book. I hope they never make BARTIMAEUS into a movie, cause
they would ruin it.
I HEART BARTIMAEUS!

Just because there's
only 10 days left in October doesn't mean I can't still do a Halloween
header. YAY, Halloween!
It's been such a busy month with working, an open house neighborhood
tour, my family coming to visit, a baby shower, Adam's family visiting,
Adam's birthday, our anniversary (this week), and 2 weddings coming
up. Today is the first day in a while that I've been able to do
whatever the hell I want. Like nothing. Like painting. Like eating
an avocado on my back porch. Like working on my blog.
Friday night we made a big birthday dinner for Adam, his mom, his
aunt, his uncle, and his cousin. Adam had gone to the store and
bought whatever he wanted and it resulted in quite an impressive
spread. The evening started with brei, caviar, crackers, smoked
jalapenos, fresh mozzarella in olive oil and spices, walnut porcini
mushroom cream spread (store bought) -- and that was the appetizers.
For dinner, tiny roasted potatoes, peas, lamb steaks with a New
Zealand lamb rub, jerk pork tenderloin. For dessert, a cheesecake
I picked up at a local bakery, Black Muscat dessert wine, sour cherries
and fresh raspberries...
OH, that reminds me. A tip from Sleepypie's Kitchen: Fresh raspberries
make awesome birthday candle holders. Very Cute.
It's suppose to get cold tonight for the week..... I'm hoping for
some pumpkin carving this year. Better get on that soon!

on Etsy. She has an amazing and wide range of talents, including
these dolls made from paperclay. Check out hese 'curiousity
box' peices on her blog -- INSANE GOODNESS, people!

I can't understand why
Dillard's doesn't redesign their shopping bags. I mean, a white
bag with a single black logo would be a huge improvement over grey
and dark blue -- and wouldn't cost any more. What gives?
