I don't normally pick books because of the cover

even if they do have a naked Barbie on them

I listened to a story by David Sedaris

on This American Life

and decided it was time to read one of the books

that people are always recommending to me

they were right

I'm loving it

Bridges are closed

roads are slick

we are snuggled up next to the fireplace

watching movies

spiking our coffee with whipped cream vodka

*today I am thankful for blankets with sleeves*

He who breaks a resolution is a weakling;
He who makes one is a fool.
~F.M. Knowles

I'm not really into making New Years resolutions 

where you have to quit something

*I'd much rather make resolutions*

where you resolve to do things

~like~

travel more ( i strive for this one every year)

read more books
meditate in a clean organized bedroom
cultivate creativity 
be grateful
think positively
complain less

So Santa must have had me on his "Nice List"
because he brought me the
Breville Pie Baker
*thanks mom & dad*

I've already made my first batch of pies

a few times a week at least

*It grills sandwiches too*
