That crafty Whole Foods Market has me totally hooked on 17.99/lb Uniekaas Reserve Gouda. It may be one of my favorite cheeses ever.
The next round of the crud is making its way through our family. Incredibly, Nels caught a cold about two days after Willem's two-week window of "do NOT get sick!" was up. Willem got it a few days later. A mere week earlier, sneezing was very uncomfortable for him, so I was really thankful it waited. Shaun woke up with a full-blown case this morning, and I have that "I'm coming for you next" soreness in the back of my throat. I usually manage to avoid getting really sick when everybody else is. I'm counting on that.
We were to have gone to a birthday party featuring Indian food tonight, but we will keep our germs at home. Other nice couples with kids will be there. How sad I am to miss it.
Today we will decorate our Christmas tree. Nels made his enquiries: "Are there more fragile ornaments or more toy ones?" (Meaning ornaments they would be allowed to handle.) He cried at the answer. That's right; I selfishly gave no thought to my future children when I collected my ornaments, so they are mostly fragile. Ah, tree decorating. Surprisingly less fun in practice than in theory.
We've been chipping away at the furnishing of our new house. Behold our new table lamps. We settled on these from CB2 after viewing thousands of lamps online. The next big project is choosing the art for the wall over the couch. We're getting there.
Well, cue the Christmas music. That tree isn't going to decorate itself.

I love your artsy modern decor! My husband would drool over it.
Hopefully you won't catch the cold as bad!
Thanks, Gretchen! It's a huge change in style for us, but all of the old things I'd collected looked really out of place in our newer house. Also they were falling apart.
Love the lamps! ... AND the couch! OK - I'm just gonna have to pop up for a visit to get inspired by your modern decorating vision! (And to see you, of course!) =)
