cooking & baking

thought i would write quickly while perry & ryan get groceries, layla is sleeping and i am enjoying my first cup of coffee of the morning (one of my favorite things). i have a full day ahead of me- cooking & baking. tonight is the first night of chanukah. we are off to becca's place, which relieves me of cooking a big meal (thanks becca!). i am not, however, dismissed from making potato latkes and for some odd reason, i feel like making challah (bread). maybe it's the weather? i figure if i'm spending the entire day in the kitchen, i might as well make a real mess! i am actually looking forward to it and ryan is super excited to help me...we'll see how long that lasts!

aside from that, everything is going well at the new space! our flooring should be arriving at the beginning of january- we were a bit worried about that. just need to find a bathroom light fixture, a few mirrors and a couple more display tables (so excited to have so much more space!). becca and i have spent quite a bit of time seeking out some great new lines and have placed numerous orders over the past couple weeks. i don't want to give it all away now so watch your inbox for announcements over the next month or so!

i'm off to download pictures from our staff party...apparently a few people are waiting to see them!

have a great day and happy chanukah!
