a continuing gratitude list...

1. husband fixed our old Whirlpool dryer all by himself!!! taking things out, testing coils, replacing parts, the whole bit. he's totally handy.

2. the December issue of Real Simple came in the mail.

3. wheat blend rotini + safeway select vodka pasta sauce + freshly grated parmesan = much pleasure

4. WE MET OUR THIRD BABY STEP GOAL!! our 3-6 month emergency fund is now fully funded! whoop whoop!

4.5 that means we can start on our next goal!

5. gorgeous day out.

6. getting my hair cut tomorrow (finally). my stylist is going to look at my weird, multi-layered bangs/half-bangs/long-bangs-wings? and ask me what happened. all I can say is... it's been awhile. so I took the scissors to myself a time or two. oh, and then on that shoot the makeup artist went after them with a razor. *smile* now please fix it all, stephanie, and help me look cool again.

7. this dish, which is a staple every time I go work in the metroplex:



it's the curry tofu noodle dish, or N9B on the menu. it's so good, I can't tell you, and the fact that I usually try to polish off this huge plate is more than a little alarming. makes for drowsy, sleepytime afternoon recording.

over and out for now -
