books, booties to die for, smart girls & nuts

FYI - no Lottie Sue photos here, I'll post some tomorrow or Thursday. Forgive me. Please. I will tell you that right now she is playing her piano with a measuring spoon while laughing diabolically. She is absolutely cracking me up.

So here's a very random post, enjoy:

Here's the New York Times' list 100 Notable Book of 2008. I am always looking for a good book and I look forward to the lists that come out (here's amazon's bestselling books list along with their editors' picks for 2008). I read through them and then add them to my list at the library. They'll send any book to my branch and when I'm done I can ask for the next one on my saved list, I love it. Easy and free (my favorite part).

And since it's gift-giving season, I thought I would share a lovely that I will never purchase due to the extremely high price (which is fine, I DO NOT need them but I like to look at them). These are Christian Louboutin booties and are GORgeeous.

you don't even want to know how much these cost

Having a little girl makes you worry about, well - being a girl these days. I was happy to find this online show, Smart Girls at the Party! Thank you Amy Poehler and friends! Here is one episode, I watched the shows and they really are delightful.

And it is possible for you to watch a holiday special/movie every day until the 25th. Follow this handy guide and you won't miss any of your favorites. Tonight I'm going to watch The Polar Express, I have never seen it (don't ask me how). My favorite Christmas movies are Scrooge and White Christmas.

Here's an easy and delicious recipe for holiday nuts, trust me - you won't be disappointed. Becce started making these a few years ago and they are now a staple in our house. It's from Nigella Lawson and they are called "bar nuts from union square cafe" - your taste buds will thank you.

OK, here's to a happy Monday. Later taters!
