holiday ideas...
i have the flu. from whence did it come? dunno. i have a sore throat, earache, sinus pain and feel achy. jake went to get me cough drops, etc, after work and everyone was sold out of everything that wasn't cherry (i don't eat cherry flavored anything. gross.) he did end up finding some for me after going to several different places. he is too good. i wouldn't have gone that far. i really wouldn't have.

i am in search of a small gift for my dad and older bro for hannukah (when we go to visit in iowa right after xmas), as well as something for his twin boys who are toddlers. any suggestions? my brother is into the finer things in life, and my dad is really into classical music (lots of kinds, actually) and classic art (not modern) and is the kind of person that seems to know everything. literally. if he watches jeopardy, he knows every answer. he enjoys crispy treats and nuts, although he is not supposed to eat them (who is?) and my parents both drink tea a lot, although only bagged tea, and in a mug. ideas?

whilst catching up on blogs, i found some good links for holiday ideas...a wreath made out of succulents...from crafster a recipe for different kinds of latkes...latke redux how to make this
the most gorgeous trays evah! i would hang it on the wall, like i do with my plate collection. also from curiosity shoppe, dish decals! that are safe in the dishwasher. they are a steal at only 6 bucks for a whole sheet, so you can make cool mugs, dishes, whatever you like. a cool gift idea, too! the online store has so many cool things, including artwork by my bloggy pal lisa s.!
