xmas 2007

i had a very relaxing holiday with no real agenda and no pressure. it was marvelous. must do it much more often. johnny and i just did stuff around the house, slept in like crazy, went to the movies, played with the dogs, etc. nice. i got him a new electric hair clipper and he got me a steam cleaner and an external hard drive. we also got my mom an external hard drive. i think my most favorite gifts i recieved so far is the soap from ellen and the book "a slice of organic life" from my boss susan. so thoughtful. i wish i was that thoughtful, i try to be but sometimes it doesn't always work out. i think mostly its because i end up wasting time. i don't plan ahead well enough, either. anyways, i hope everyone had a nice holiday. i ordered some soapnuts and i will post about those as soon as i try them out and i almost forgot! i need to post pictures of my mushroom crop. i got one of those mushroom logs a while back and i took pics of the growing shiitakes.

i am fighting a very strong urge to shop after xmas sales. like IKEA, which is having a big sale. and IKEA just happens to be right around the corner from my office. i hate IKEA but they are good to pick up odds and ends. no furniture, though.
