not sure where you live but we got about a foot of snow yesterday! YUCK! although that didn't stop me from going to hobby lobby to check out their after xmas sales. too bad the wrapping paper is still only 50% off! does ANYONE know when it goes up to 80%? i want to stock up on some more wrapping paper. i bought a bunch last year but can't remember when the good deals started? before or after florida? if you know, please comment and let me know--- thanks!!
also, ventured over to oak brook to do a little shopping --- i wasn't going to let all that SNOW stop me! although if you weren't driving in 4-wheel drive you had no business being on the road! there were so many accidents, spin outs, etc. oh yea, after leaving the mall i picked up sushi --- needed my sushi fix!
last night we watched revolutionary road. can't believe this movie received 4 STARS???? i just don't get it. the movie stared leonardo dicaprio, kate winslet and kathy bates. i don't know if it is just me, but i just didn't get this movie.
did you like this movie? i am curious....trying to figure out how it managed to get 4 STARS?
i think lenoardo and kate did a great job portraying their characters but overall i found this movie disturbing in many ways!
without going into details....am i the only person who did NOT know that back in the 50's there were home abortion kits! SERIOUSLY?!?!?! that's all i am going to say w/out giving the movie away. if you haven't watched it, you can catch it on hbo on demand.
oh yea, before i forget....did you happen to watch barfeoot contessa this morning? well, ina garten made bay scallop gratin....YUMMY! check out the photo below....i think i know what we are going to have for dinner tonight! very simple recipe and it looks scrumptious! 
here's the link to the recipe in case you want it -- click here.
oh well, i need to hop in the shower and venture over to starbucks. then it's back home to clean and start packing for florida!
have a great day!

I am so hoping my 2010 is much better than 09 too!
I've not seen the movie but did know about the kits. Before it was legal, it was barbaric and many women died or were permanently sterile after. It was also common to use a wire coat hanger and even today, the image of a coat hanger is a symbol of womens rights. Makes me cringe just thinking about it though so its probably good I didn't see the movie.
Enjoy your trip to the Sunshine State. Not sure where you are headed, but it's been a tad chilly in the Tampa area.
I am hoping for a better 2010 too.
I've tried to watch that movie a few times but I just can't get into it. I love Kate and Leonardo as actors but for some reason this movie doesn't do it for me. Glad I'm not alone.
I haven't seen the movie, but I've read the book. The book is so sad for me; it crushes the idea of suburbia.
