5 things I would write more about, if I were not utterly exhausted:
Posted on | November 28, 2006 |
1) Your awesome list ideas rock. Thank you a zillion times. I have never, ever purchased any legit holiday gifts before, oh, December 23, and though that may not change this year, at least I now have no shortage of good ideas!
2) I pierced my ears over the weekend. This was a HUGE deal. My dad never let me pierce my ears as a kid, and for years and years since then I refrained from doing so, first out of an odd deference to him, and then because it made me more unique NOT to have pierced years. Recently however, it dawned on that wearing a gorgeous pair of dangley earings makes an otherwise unimpressive outfit chic and lovely, and I am all about things that make me look good without actually requiring effort… so I went with my most favorite girlfriends in the whole world and got holes in my ears. I cannot imagine what my dad would say if he were alive still. It felt somehow like a childish act of rebellion, and maybe it was. Who knows why we suddenly get the urge to do things?
3) I made the most delicious gingersnaps tonight. Also a random urge. I used fresh ginger, and without a recipie, figured out how to crystalize it. Am I not a domestic goddess? (It’s okay, you can lie.)
4) I have been so exhausted at the end of the day I have done no writing, and am feeling utterly guilty about that–especially as deadlines are gradually approaching. But…
5) I stumbled upon an absolutely wonderful book that I’ve been carrying around with me everywhere and relishing.

Congratulations on getting your ears pierced! I think it’s cool you did it later - you will totally appreciate dressing up your ears and adding a little bling.
Thanks also for the previous post on gifts for guys - great ideas there!
Lastly, I love your blog. I know I don’t know you - but it’s so wonderfully creative! I really enjoy visiting!

i have a feeling you’re going to receive lots of jewel-y, gypsy-ish earrings for christmas this year!

I’ve had pierced ears since I was 11 - a treat for passing my 11+ exam (to get into grammar school). I looove dangly earrings and was inundated with them when I put them on my birthday list last year. Have fun dressing up your ears!

OH YEEP! For pierced ears. My ears like to break out if anything FAKE touches them (and so does the rest of my skin, but it’s my ears that swell and ooze, GROSS!) and so I was pretty much left out of cute earringdom until Target came to town and saved my life and injected more fun into my wardrobe with their nickle free earrings!
And any book you recommend sounds good to me. I adore memoirs, so it’s just right up my alley.

Nothing quite like fresh ginger. I throw a piece in my juicer along with the fruits & veggies. Adds that special zing and does wonders for the tummy!

Trish Hampl teaches at the school where I graduated from… where I hope to attend again for an MFA (if possible). And Robert Bly… so many connections! I love your book recommendations. Thanks!
