happiness is...

for me, it's a cup of hot chocolate and a really good book. this is my goal for the next week. many cups of hot chocolate, this kind, cause i bought it yesterday, and it really is the best.

and from what i've heard i simply must pick up this book.
by the way, if you still need to do some christmas shopping, williams sonoma has a special going on this weekend. for every $50 you spend, you get a $10 coupon to spend in january. so if you spend $100, you have $20 to spend later. and you can find a gift for anyone there. we asked for this this year and i suspect that is what's sitting in the ups box under my tree right now.

steve and i were loving the fresh pasta we got at the farmer's market this summer. now we can make our own! how fun.

i also saw this at the store and almost bought it.


but then i figured i needed this too. so i didn't buy both. but maybe i'll go back with my $20 coupon in january and buy them. since we love pancakes! it's our once a weekend deal.
hope y'all have a good weekend. i'm off to finish a few last shop orders, run some errands, and then collapse with my cup of hot chocolate and a good book. it's been several long, long weeks and i'm ready for a break.
