I’ve seriously started the holiday gift brainstorming by going through piles of December issues of magazines (which have the gift guides) and all my known online resources. I’m coming across some seriously awesome goodies out there. Unfortunately I want a lot of them for myself….

Last night I met Adam and his colleague Mike at their office downtown, and we all headed to Brooklyn to see Mike’s apartment, meet his 2-year-old daughter, and go out to dinner with his wife Katsuko.
I wanted to post about this on Friday, but something was up with WordPress and I couldn’t upload any pictures. It has been gross here in NJ since Friday morning, and since my classes that day were a week ahead (I started last Friday) I decided to do some rainy day stories with the little kids. For Kindergarten and 1st grade, I read Bamboo & Friends: The Rainy Day by Felicia Law. I was totally unfamiliar with this series of books, but it was kind of charming and straightforward. It had a few little facts about pandas and rain throughout the story, which was nice. Some of the facts needed extra explanation for the little kids, and some of them were randomly placed in the story which made it hard to work them in. It was a short little book with nice illustrations, fine for what I needed it for.
I skipped posting one last week because I was completely exhausted after the green card interview and start of summer reading at the library. But I’m back this week with some kitschy red, white, and blue goodies to celebrate the 4th!
I found everything this week using Pounce, which shows new shops that haven’t had a sale yet. There’s some great stuff out there! Must…hold…back…shopping…fingers!
I think this Banana Sky painting from FourFeetSquare is cheerful, and I love the keys. This would put me in a good mood immediately.
