i don't know if i should continue to make soups, because i keep messing things up! either i forget to close the freezer door, or my little baggies of soup flop over on the counter and spill everywhere, or, like a dork, i freeze it all and have none defrosted and ready to warm up in a pot for lunch today!

and twice yesterday, i ran into the metal edge of this chair, so i taught it a lesson ....

i had a successful shopping trip this afternoon ... i got finally got some paperwhites. i'm going to grow them on some polished rocks in my glass vodka bowl (that was a gift, with 4 little shot glasses, and since i don't do vodka shots ....).

and, i finally almost used up my gift card to the mall from last christmas. i must use it before the holiday this year or it will expire. i have about $3 left on the card. last year, i used part of it for some lace socks from the banana store, and some wine glasses from crate & barrel. i went back to crate & barrel today and got this!

isn't she beautiful?
