Lemon Shortbread

My roommate and I saw a movie tonight. More on that tomorrow - it deserves it's own post!

After we got home, we congregated in the kitchen, doing some Christmas baking. She's making some sort of hazelnut biscotti, and I mixed up the dough for lemon shortbread. It's chilling in rolls in my fridge at the moment, waiting to be sliced, baked and iced at various points over the course of the day tomorrow. It's a tradition. I make it every year. My brothers hate it (they have issues with fruit flavors in things that aren't, well, fruit), but everyone else seems to love it. Which is funny, because I could take it or leave it. But I make it every year!

Good night!

The Belt

Lately I'm all about embracing the little things.

The changes, the items, the things that underscore for me personally what I see the Lord doing in my life, or the places where I see myself moving towards the lifestyle I dream about.

Today, the little thing is a belt.

I bought a fantastic belt yesterday. I was shopping for my mom's Christmas present, but found something great for me as well.

It's a coppery brown leather, printed with funky cream colored daisies. Some of the daisies have rhinestone centres, and the rest have these cool silver studs.

It's my hippie, embracing the feminine, fun parts of me belt, and I love it!
