--Work for magazine stuff continues apace. Dropped off a 120 pc order on Sunday. Got a 155pc order on Monday. Am taking on a part-time worker for a week in March to help me get that done because Art of the Belly is also in March. And then I start cranking up for Spoutwood, which means GOBJILLIONS OF WINGS, and a helper is probably going to be necessary for that, as well.

--My freezer is full of discounted Valentine's day chocolates (Ghiradelli, Dove, Godiva, York) plus the Vosges I got Jason. MMMMMMM.

--This weather? OMG. No. No. Want spring. No. Attempted to take a hot bath to warm up last night, and even with two pots of boiling hot water poured into the tub, it would not stay warm enough. I dragged a portable heater into the bathroom and it was STILL being overpowered by the cold emanating from the windows. BRRR. (I also got my hair caught in the drain and thought I was gonna need to cut myself loose. It's funny now, but HOO BOY, was not funny at the time.)

--I saw Jupiter Ascending. (<-- Non-spoilery review.) It was bad, bad, bad. I am seeing it again later this week, because it was the most entertaining kind of bad I've seen in a long while.

--I have eaten some delicious meals lately. Brunch at McGinty's (red velvet waffles with spiced walnuts and cherries. Brunch tart with crispy phyllo. Balsalmic mozzarella with deep-fried olives. MMMM). Dinner at Pure Wine Cafe (pumpkin mac & cheese with chorizo, cinnamon squash soup, truffle fries, chocolate pot de creme). This is not sitting well with my desire to lose winter weight (I'm pretty fluffy right now), but on the other hand: life is short, and it was fucking delicious.

--I have a major backlog of stuff to post about on the beauty blog but very little time to swatch anything. This needs to be remedied, because I bought PURPLE LIPSTICK last week and I loooooooove it.

That's all that's fit to print.
