christmas kitties

after losing our beloved cat of 16 years, felipe, about a month ago, we recently decided to adopt 2 new kitties from the shelter.  they came home 2 days ago just in time for christmas!!! they are still very shy but they are beginning to come out of their shells.  give a warm welcome to piggs and mosley...

Douzo, Boston

tonight i went out to dinner with my family in boston.  we went to a great japanese place we love in boston called douzo.  i highly recommend this place, the sushi is excellent and their cooked food is fantastic as well.  my mom got the yaki udon  because shes not a big sushi eater and i snagged a bite...delicious! after that we walked up and down newbury street and grabbed a box of pears from the harry and david store.  i can not wait for them to finish ripening mmmm i love pear. there was a lovely holiday spirit in the air and it was a great night!

mmm sushi

happy decorating

today my family and i brought home a christmas tree and decorated it.  we used to live near a big tree farm and i always found something extremely satisfying in walking and walking through all the "no" trees to finally come across the perfect one that feels like it been waiting just for you.  i have to say, picking it out at the local church was not as fun but its a great tree none the less and they all look beautiful once they are decorated.  its beginning to feel a lot like christmas!
which one to pick?

so many choices..

the most amazing trecking boots everrrr, they walked me all over vail and i miss having a reason to wear them


trees home!


because i have no brothers...

decorate me please!


as my mom says, "they are getting ready to do their duty"


old swedish decorations from my grandfather, god jul!

i loooveee these, little feather birds that hide amongst the other ornaments. 

my parents have been collecting ornaments for years and i have to say they have built up a pretty fantastic collection

tze this is for you!!! dont they look like little tom wallisch full tilts!!!???


one of my all time favorites, he is so cute and i love his sparkly pastel colors. i love hanging this one

Lissie, the idol i never knew i had

today i realized that three songs that i love were all sung by the same person...and it blew my mind! in light of this discovery im adding lissie to my list of idols.  she is fantastic and so versatile

ammmmmaaaazzziiinnnggg cover.  i can say enough about this


ive been a bit sad recently, ill tell you about it some other time but ive been listening to this song a bunch and its helped. very emotional. such beautiful cinematography as well.


this is the first lissie song i heard a while ago.  it was on the radio all the time when i was in australia.
