Right now I'm...

Reading Player One: What Will Become of Us, A Novel in Five Hours by Douglas Coupland (I actually finished it the other day...it was very excellent)
Watching The Walking Dead on AMC, and lots and lots of old movies on TCM (our box is full of them!)
Creating headbands and a patchwork bag for my brother's girlfriend, and playing catch-up on other Lime Door custom orders
Thinking about the Christmas season and what I want it to mean to me, and traditions I want to start for Lucas, getting my Christmas letter ready to go today...left that to the last minute didn't I!?
Listening to SiriusXM U, an indie rock station. Think alternative alt rock. And I love it! I keep a pen and notepad handy in the car so I can write down songs that I like, cause I know I won't remember them past the next song. With this station, I write down every song! Also, The Arcade Fire's newest album (The Suburbs). I originally only bought "Ready to Start" and then I saw them on SNL...so I had to have the rest of the album!
Eating snack mix by the bucket, homemade bark, cream cheese and nacho chips (the most dangerous snack ever! that I am now trying to avoid so I don't start looking like Santa!)


My nails are the best shade of shiny pinky orangey red.
My hair is doing it's best to be perfect!
I am trying not to think of the fact I need a nice dress for Russ' office party in less than one week.
My Christmas tree is still in the box!
Lucas is sick of getting books for his Christmas Countdown Calendar...but he's got 2 weeks left of this, so too bad!!

We got snow last week! YAY! And it's been sort of trying to snow this morning.

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, every where you go. There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well. The sturdy kind, that doesn't mind the snow..."

Now, that's a Christmas carol I enjoy!

Have you seen the new Starbucks Gift Cards? They are designed by Jonathan Adler for Project Red, and they are gorgeous! I bought some for Lucas' teachers...and now I want some of my own! So I showed Lucas and told him that he and Poppa have to get one to put in my stocking. And then he asked me when they were going to go! He's either: 1. Worried that he won't have enough time to go to Starbucks before Christmas or 2. Excited because going to Starbucks means he gets a big cookie!!

this one is for Daryl, so one of his kids that reads this blog will have to pass it along! I walked passed an office on Jasper the other day and could not for the life of me figure out what the name of the company was! And then it clicked! And I thought Daryl would get a kick out of their logo (he really likes "type" and fonts and whatnot). So, go to this website and check out the sweet logo...it's such a nice play on type that I had to make a mental note. p.s. if you can't figure it out, they have taken an "a" and turned it so it sort of looks like an "e" , thereby turning their name "id associates" into "ideas"...very clever!

I miss blogging...I have been a a "bad blogger" lately, and while I have lots of ideas of future posts, I just don't have the free time lately to post anything. With my blog makeover I hope to have a more clear idea of the things I want to post and be more excited and organized with my posting.

We decorated two gingerbread houses on Sunday at two different houses. Russ and I went to a party on Saturday night that was so wonderful and I got to catch up with some friends I don't see that often. And I didn't eat (or drink) too much! YAY!

later peeps!

  1. I was thinking about you this morning around 5am, hopefully you were sleeping... Spokane morning news (there was nothing else on)spoke about and showed a clip from "Antoine" (is that spelled right?) anyways, had an early morning chuckle and thought of you.

  2. I don't think you're a "bad blogger" Lisa. Real people are always more important than virtual people, no matter how much we like each other in blogland. At least that's the way I see it.
