Got back from Ohio on Wednesday evening, and it was a lovely Christmas, indeed.  :)  I hope all of you who celebrate it had a good one, too!

The Goodies:

+ Before Sunrise and Before Sunset on DVD.  Two of my most favorite movies ever, finally in my possession.  Julie Delpy + Ethan Hawke = win.
+ some lovely kitchen stuffs from good ole Crate & Barrel

So this Christmas is a bit low key for me, at least here in my apartment, because I decided not to put up my tree this year.  After the hassle I had last year with trying to keep Nutmeg from either playing with the lights, playing with the ornaments (even when I purposely tried to keep them higher up on the tree), or just plain trying to eat and ( Read more... )

Baby, It's Cold Outside:  It's officially winter.  This week, I not only had to wear my down coat, I even needed my hat and scarf, and today I finally broke down and got out my gloves.  It's been down in the 30's the past few days, windy and cloudy.  It's supposed to get nasty this weekend, too.

Wondrous Weekend:  This weekend in Indy was a ton of fun.  Had a fantastic dinner on Friday at Maggiano's with Joyce, Deb and my mom.
Delicious steak and a superb merlot to go with it.  And one of the best damn pieces of chocolate cake I've ever had.  Coupled with an incredible chocolate martini.  *drools*

Shopped on Saturday at a variety of places, ( Read more... )

Two:  Tomorrow is my slated day to register for Spring 2008 classes at Columbia.  I have to sit down tonight and put together a list ( Read more... )

+ I finally got around to trying the Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks.  And OMG.  Heaven.
+ I watched the guided tour of Mac OS X Leopard yesterday.  And subsequently needed to wipe the drool off my keyboard.  I pretty much do that with anything Apple/Mac related anymore.  You should've seen me when I was downtown last week at the Apple Store on N. ( Read more... )

I'm heading up to my parents' apartment right now to fix them a dinner of broiled rosemary & thyme lamb chops and boiled red potatoes, to be accompanied by a nice shiraz-cabernet.  New dish for me, but man, am I looking forward to it ( Read more... )

So it's about time I did another photo post in the Lisa Visits Amurrca saga, haha.

If you missed any or for review purposes, LOL:

+ when canada and chicago collide (part one)
+ canada, eh? (part deux)

So those covered up through Thursday of that week.  Friday was Shopping Day - we went downtown and hit up Water Tower Place, the 3-floor Borders across ( Read more... )

Took Lisa to the airport earlier this afternoon, and since I got back home, I've just been sitting around my apartment, being all emo, so I decided to make a little post just to try and cheer myself up.
