1) Using corn starch as dry shampoo (I was all about talc before and smelled subsequently like a baby's ass).

2) The Algarve coast in Portugal.

3) Guarana, that ridiculous Brazilian soft drink.

4) It's Always Sunny in Philadalphia

5) The joys of working from home in my pajamas.

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!

New and delightful for me this year:

Mr. Hippity's Project Runway and Top Chef liveblogs.

The DNC and RNC convention liveblogs.

Cosmedix skincare stuff.

Growing bok choy.

Negroni cocktails.

Recycled glass countertops-- best indulgence of the year.

Snorkeling.

John Adams (the president, the HBO series and the David McCullough biography-- made me rethink my previous undying love for Thomas Jefferson).

P.S. That's Anjelica Huston modeling the Calder jewelry.

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.

1.Awesome ex-boyfriends who will listen to you whine endlessly about getting dumped with total compassion.

2. Crickler.

3. Afternoon naps.

4. Competent neurosurgeons who call removal of a brain tumor a 'slam dunk' and make sure to leave enough hair to cover the scar.

5. Cell phones. I finally got one!

6. Jasmine rice.

7. JEZZIES!

@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.

Just how is the soy sauce and peanut butter to be added to Top Ramen? Along with the liquid?

@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: 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.

I found Barefoot wine thanks to a Crabby Cakes shout-out! It's yummy and cheap.

I also discovered that I like the grey hairs at my temples, so I stopped coloring my hair...yeah for the natural red being back!
