Christmas is over. But that doesn’t mean the giving is.
I did a little shopping yesterday… not to return anything, but to look around. It’s what I do after Christmas.
Shop. It’s much more fun to shop after Christmas than before. The stress is gone and the sales are still on.
And if something catches my eye like a towering stack of satin pink leopard print jewelry boxes…
… well, I’ll take a few extra minutes and look through all the designs.
And if there happens to be something like a super-cute cupcake necklace staring right back at me, then I guess you know what happens next.
Awwe…… How could I resist. It’s just the cutest little thing.
And it comes in the cutest little box.
And then there’s all this cute dangly stuff to boot. Did I mention how cute this thing is?
But I didn’t get it for me. I thought I would give it to one of you. So who wants it?

Dear Bakerella,
this New Year’s Eve i’m going to Rome and spend the night with my dearest friends: we seldom meet all together at once during the year so we usually try for the last day.
we’ll eat and chat and cheer, and make toasts to the end of this 2009 and laugh and wear crazy hats [i’ve a leopard fur one -fake fur!- from 70’s, it was my mom’s!] and weird shoes and probably silly wigs [you know, gay friends love wigs!].
the menu of the dinner is: pizza al formaggio con formaggi ed affettati [cheese tart with cheeses and sliced salami], pasta al gratin [i suppose gratin is gratin in english too? well let’s say grated pasta], polpettone [meat roll], lenticchie [lentil soup – it’s tradition! it’s said it brings money for the next year!], tortelli al cioccolato con gelato alla vaniglia [chocolate tortelli {here’s a pic http://www.buttalapasta.it/wp-galleryo/tortellini-al-cioccolato-di-rana/tortelli-rana-cioccolato.jpg} with vanilla icecream]. all of that with red wine of course!
want to join? :)
wish you a great last day of the year and a even more wonderful 2010! cheers!
fran
PS. i apologize for the mistakes!
