of the moment

It's been a long time since I've made a list of things I'm all about on a given day, or week, or whatever. So I thought it appropriate to make up for time lost and share all the things on my mind and in my heart these days.... in numbered order, of course.

1. oatmeal 

Maybe it's just because we started selling it at Starbucks, but I've become a bit addicted. I've been eating it everyday, either here or there, morning or night... whenever. I'm usually a cold cereal (pereferably Honey Bunches of Oats) kind of girl, but there's just something about a warm, filling bowl of oatmeal on a fall morning- perfect (for all you baristas- pardon the cheesy joke).

2. rawhide bones and puppy kong

Maybe this is cheating on parenting, but I don't care. I will gladly give Gretchen a bone if it will keep her occupied for a good hour. Those things are worth every penny!

3. folksy girl goodness

See below. Also: She & Him, Patty Griffin, and Rosie Thomas.

4. not sarah palin

All you need to know can be summed up in the following videos:

5. revisiting the classics

Man, I had forgotten how good the old stuff is! Thank you Netflix for the unlimited choices of old Hollywood greats.

6. craigslist

This website is helping us make decisions about where we should live, believe it or not! You can find just about anything on here.

7. this girl's blog:

www.dooce.com

8. mckay's

Seriously needs no explanation. I will be sad to leave this behind in Knoxville when we leave.

9. morningstar meat substitutes

Tastes BETTER than meat! Not even kidding. Just try it.

10. cleaning the apt. with jamie

I have a husband who CLEANS! Dream come true. I know.

11. plaid and gingham

All I want to wear right now.

12. the "simply" juices

Grapefruit is my personal fave.

13. www.etsy.com

Got turned onto this website about a year ago, and can spend hours browsing. No better place to buy original art, clothes, jewelry, etc. etc. This is where I found the girl who did our wedding invitations!

14. greg pinkner's new crossroad series

On Jesus as the "true and better" version of major Old Testament dudes. So far we've done Adam and Abel... I think tonight is Noah. Crazy heavy stuff.

15. picking a new place to live

We're flying the coop, baby. Question is: where to? To be continued. 

If I don't leave now, I'll be late for a sushi date! So I'm sure there may be more... later...
