Awesomeness

This video was featured on a BoingBoing post.
I've been obsessed with the song ever since.
I like to think about lobsters shuffling off to buffalo.
(it's a tap step)

I may have to do a card series about it...








Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

A Challenge

I have signed up to participate in the
Thing-a-day Challenge 2010.

It takes place in February, and the point is in the title.
You create one thing, every day, for one month.
I might take this in the culinary direction too..
Maybe just on Thursdays, when most of my time will be
spent at work making desserts.

Challenge starts Monday.
See you then.

2010

I have already compiled a list of projects, plans,
and resolutions that I've made.

Here they are in no particular order.

*Create an actual savings account.

*Plant an herb garden
Or should I say, try to keep it alive. I buy potted herbs every year
and every year I manage to kill them.

*Learn how to make yogurt.

*Learn how to can
This goes along with the whole "create less waste" plan
that I am going for this year. Plus, it will allow
me to have summer foods in winter months.

*Learn how to take better photographs.
Lucky for me, I know plenty of excellent photographers.

*Be a localvore

*Create a gift log
Each year I struggle to remember what gifts I have given people
for different occasions. This will allow me to not buy people the same thing,
and will prevent supreme embarrassment.

*Learn how to make kombucha

*Try to sell at 1 craft show a month (at least)

*NO PLASTIC BAGS

*Continue with French classes

*Travel as much as possible
