currents

listening: my holiday 2010 playlist.
eating: huevos rancheros. i know it's 4pm but it's been a long day. making pizza for dinner.
drinking: cafe con leche, what else should i drink with eggs?
wearing: mickey mouse t-shirt, black velour pants and flip flops. 
feeling: scattered, and preoccupied. hopefully that will change.
weather: crazy.  warm and beautiful today.
wanting: to do reverb 10.  love the concept, just need to write.
needing: to address our christmas cards.  it's pathetic that we've had them for over a week.
thinking: about christmas, presents, food, parties, cards, lots to get organized.
enjoying: that it's friday afternoon and a good weekend awaits us.
wondering: if i should order a gift from etsy or just make it myself.  it's a matter of time v. money.




we've been:

to disneyland.  well california adventure with sue and the kids.  and then b and i went to disneyland where the decorations were beautiful but the lines were too long.  we did see the candlelight procession which was worth it.

making art.  i was art helper for andrew's class and the kids made holiday cards based on the artist henri matisse.  we learned about abstract art, positive and negative images and how to use the color wheel.  and i got to make a card too. i didn't do much helping, the kids are pretty independent.  but i did get to make my own card.

baking, decorating and eating christmas cookies.  loved the star wars cookies, the santa and reindeer balls and the refrigerator cookies.  oh who am i kidding?  we loved them all.

christmas shopping and loving the holiday campaigns.  even if they are geared toward consumerism, they still have a sentimental message.  i guess it is what you make of it.

playing loteria.  this girl is obsessed with this game.  it's fun to listen to her repeat the words in spanish.  spanish is her thing right now.  she's been calling me "nena" and b "capitan".  those are my families nicknames for us.  but it's funny to hear her say them.  and she also like to pose like this

what . .. what.

enjoying the boys' holiday concert.  can you spot them? 

devouring these.  i got the last 2 bags at trader joe's today. they are dangerously good.


have a good weekend.
