a valentine and other stuff

I cut this for Pete for Valentine's Day. But he hasn't seen it yet. Honey, stop reading.

After a total sugar freak-out I am limiting my intake to weekends only. And not all binge-y either, but a normal amount. It all started with the caramel corn incident, which I will blog about very soon. It's a lot of words to type. And then the chocolate experiment, also forthcoming, and then ice cream cake. Ugh. I have had so much sugar lately my eyes hurt. So I need a break. But, I did make brown rice pudding for breakfast, but I don't think that really counts exactly.

I got the new Alison Krause/Robert Plant album and it is really good. I kept hearing it was—and it is. It's very restrained so I was happy because he does get all Robert Plant on a few songs. He's like William Shatner, you know? You just can't keep the Shatner in. I love hearing this album and then imagining Robert with his jeans all freaky low ala The Song Remains the Same. Not that I really like this image, it's more like I find it very amusing. My mom saw a part of that movie and declared his jeans "obscene" which is hysterical coming from my mom.

Beautiful paper cut! I've been meaning to get that new album, as Alison Krause is one of my favorite performers. Thanks for reminding me to track it down. As I type this I am scarfing down my favorite new discovery...Trader Joe's dark chocolate covered almonds sprinkled with sea salt. It's almonds and dark chocolate, which are both good for you, right? Sugar is our friend!

Thanks so much for turning me on to paper cutting - I did my first (and second) as Valentine's Day gifts! They're on my website - we're both huge Sherlock fans.

I cannot stop listening tot his album. I received it from my husband for Christmas, and I love when he escapes from his restrained stylings and Led Zeppelins it up a bit. Our 16 month old loves this AND Led Zeppelin, though, so we listen to a lot of both. I even just gifted it (for no reason) to my best friend, and she loves it, too.)
