december is kicking my butt. i've been working late nights for the past couple of weeks while trying to wrap my head around all of the gifts i'd like to give. as you can tell, i take the whole gift-giving thing pretty seriously. in my mind, the perfect present would be 10 hours of uninterrupted sleep... or a day off.

hope everyone had a terrific thanksgiving! i still seem to be dreaming of my mom's homemade pecan and pumpkin pies...

fall weather means sweaters and eating outside at homeroom for mac n cheese.

great packaging from totokaelo

the best birthday present i discovered on saturday morning.
thanks m :)

honey - the cure for an itchy throat these days.

also - i'm in need of a camera since mine's on the brink. my criteria consists of something that doesn't rob me blind and that's not too cumbersome to carry around with me. i was thinking of this one but i'm unsure. any suggestions?

contemplating buying a pair (or two) of happy socks. does anyone out there own a pair? are they worthwhile at $10-15 a pair?

if only every lecture we attended included a beautiful spread of family-style munchies - in this case, spring rolls and organic, local coute de te.

bi-rite was across the street from the lecture, hosted by 18 reasons. i'd love to stop and peruse the market sometime.
