Amen on the Moleskines, they're my best new treat of 2008. In 2008, I discovered/remembered how much I love to draw, and my moleskine became a permanent fixture and I started posting all of my doodles on flickr, also a fab discovery, it's like a fantastic pen and ink artist colony online.
But my most wonderful discovery of 2008 is discovering that I am preggers!
I discovered Jezebel late late 2008! I hardly ever comment (to be honest, I'm a bit intimidated - but in a good way - by the wit and intelligence of other Jezebel commenters), but I do lurk a lot. I love this site! Happy New Year everyone!
I got an electric corkscrew for Christmas last year, and it looks like a lightsaber. I love it so, so much. It enables more drinking when you're not together enough to work a manual one.
@TalbotSmith: I'm afraid I'm finally revealing too much about myself here, but... I agree. These are awesome, and I get kind of freaked out if I can't find them on the shelf (plain white only) at first glance.
@Madge: I usually drain nearly all the liquid, just leave a tiny bit to help melt the peanut butter. Add a glob of pb and keep splashing in the soy and mixing it all around until it tastes good :).
@Your Screenplay Sucks: Oh and that Egyptian cream several of you ladies recommended & swore allegiance too - I mocked, but that stuff really does work.
@Your Screenplay Sucks: I love Etsy! Most of the art on our walls came from there including (my absolute fave) an Edie Ciao Manhattan b&w oil painting.
