.three things.

number one: my computer is broken. hopefully the man-friend will fix it tonight.

number two: my sister had her baby!!! i am completely in love with her. she makes me dizzy. they live all the way in tulsa . . . . i've booked tickets to fly out and see them, but not until the end of april. AAGGHHH .... it's too far away!

number three: the man-friend and i have been spending a lot of time dreaming about our future lately . . . how we want to buy land and start a non-profit, commune-type, farm, eco-education center, etc . . . we ran across this parcel of land in oregon wine country that seems perfect for the dream. too bad it's available NOW and we wont be ready for it for YEARS to come. sigh. add it to my wishlish. also, add these dogs to my wishlist. they are bread to live with and guard goats. so. cool!

.this is lust.

i have an obsession with matryoshkas. also known as russian stacking or nesting dolls. i love them. i draw them. i've cut block prints of them and made greeting cards. i want a tattoo of one. i bought the most beautiful bare wood one when i lived in alaska. it was hand painted and covered in gold glitter. it's not tacky like it sounds, i promise. it is glorious.

enter frustration. i found these.

wouldn't they just make baking in the kitchen a thousand times more fantastic?

sadly, the manufacturer SOLD OUT during the holidays, and i must wait patiently until they are back in stock.

le sigh.

such is life, i suppose.

what sorts of things are you lusting after for YOUR KITCHEN?
