my comfort foods of 2007

This was a very pregnant year for me. Because of that fact, my tummy found great pleasure in boxes upon boxes of Cheez-Its, a snack I still haven't fully been able to say no to. 2007 has definitely been the Year of the Cheez-It.

And although I've enjoyed coffee on occasion in the past, I now find myself craving it daily. It's just a really nice thing to have around. It doesn't have to be Starbucks, either. For two weeks after Eli was born, Dave & my mom were making daily trips to our neighborhood WaWa, where they GAVE AWAY free coffee at any size from the hours of 4-7 p.m. We took advantage of that. I think that's how I began to like coffee more than I used to.

And I could eat at Little Rosie's every day. It's our own little tex-mex haven, where REAL FRESH HOMEMADE tortillas are made on the premises! That's a huge deal for me. The building is even painted pink, just like my Taco Cabanas of yore.

What foods/beverages did you find yourself consuming more than usual this year?

Year-End Faves: Friends' Blog Posts of 2007

I love blogging. I love that it keeps me connected with friends near & far, past & present, in such an easy and fun way. Not to mention it gives me such incredible insights into their souls! I have learned so much about the people I love and people I'm becoming better friends with through the blessing of blogging. There is so much wisdom to be found in their words! I chose six posts that really stood out to me this year, and selected a quote from each one to whet your appetite. If you have not already visited these folks' pages, grab a tasty beverage, sit back, and enjoy. You won't be disappointed.

1. Jen's writing is always amazing, but I found particular joy in this post, Days of Awe. Here's a quote:

God has a big box of sticky notes waiting for me, I know. Just because I haven’t wanted to listen, that doesn’t mean that He doesn’t have things He’s been wanting to tell me.

2. Brie sees beauty in the everyday. Right now she's living in the Big Apple, and I'm enjoying the opportunity to live vicariously through her as I read her blog. I loved this post, hitting the mark. In it, she says,

the good news is that the coach is the best around, and he doesn't give standardized tests. he has the time, energy, and support from the Upper Administration to craft specialized tests for each player, designed to reveal what's lacking, challenge to a higher level, and reward where the hard work has paid off. He's good like that.

3. My friend Pam is serving the Lord and the people of Nicaragua. She's about halfway through her assignment. I love to read about what she's doing, and even more about how it feels to be wholly used of God in the mission field. This entry (introspection) made an impact on me.

... a deeper part of me recognizes that this cloak of stability and "normalcy" that I cling to as a future dream is not a full answer to my desire to find a place where I truly belong.

4. Jenny wrote a post entitled "siblings" about her children that really touched me.

And I wonder how we cultivate transparency, understanding, love, and REAL friendship among our kids.

5. My brother in law, Bob, wrote this post after he visited us in our new town. I thought it was something special. I put a copy of it in Eli's baby book for posterity.

The first thing you will notice about Eli is his eyes. I feel like me and Eli bonded in the way only an uncle and a 4 month old nephew can. To ensure our bond he made sure to mark me with his industrial drool.

6. Jan describes her first marathon experience so well, you feel like you're right there next to her throughout the entire thing. If there was ever a blog post that inspired me, this one is it.

I tried to embrace everything as it unfurled...not really knowing what to expect. I did not expect the pain nor did I expect the power of whispered words from fellow runners..."Come on. Just a little further," words that were repulsive coming from the crowd of on-lookers, but full of hope and promise when spoken from fellow participants. I did not expect it to be an act of worship....

And one more shout out, just because I thought it was so funny. Read this, then this.

Year-End List: Movies I Saw in the Theater in '07

• Reign Over Me


• Spider-Man 3 (what a waste, in every sense of the word)


• Ocean's 13


• The Bourne Ultimatum


• Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix


• The Gameplan (on a middle school youth outing, in case you were wondering)


• Enchanted


• August Rush


• Dan in Real Life

My 3 faves?

The Bourne Ultimatum was incredible fun. It was a totally sensory experience, and we embraced it 100%. It was the first trip back to the movies for us after Eli was born, after our move, after everything began to settle down. The popcorn was the best I'd ever tasted. Even the previews seemed so much better than I'd ever seen before.

August Rush completely moved me. It was dramatic, heartbreaking, and beautiful. It left me gasping for air, I'm serious. I wasn't "planning on" crying, and there I was mid-way through (and at the end), struggling to keep my crying silent. If you haven't seen it, be sure to. And check whatever cynicism you have at the door. You'll enjoy it a whole lot more.

Harry Potter 5 was excellent! We went in with low expectations, and we enjoyed every minute. The kids are turning into very compelling actors. Unlike HP4, Harry's hair actually looked really good (his "shaggy" 'do in the fourth film was a real distraction for me). I felt the scenes with Luna Lovegood were handled with a sweet gentleness; it made me see her in a different light, as I wasn't much a fan of her arc in the book. And the climactic battle in the Ministry of Magic completely blew me away. It was the first time that I felt the scariness of the book matched up with what we saw on screen. One more thing: I had just finished the 7th book, so when I saw Neville onscreen, I was about to stand up and cheer for him. The boy is my new favorite character.

Of all these films, the only one I would want to own is Dan in Real Life, which is a laid-back story I could watch again and again just for its genial family characters. Plus, I heart Steve Carell (it is well-documented).

What were your favorite moviegoing experiences of 2007? And what do you think about any of these flicks?

Year-End List: Books I Read in '07

I'm not much of a reader, but this year I was forced to be, for a time. In the absence of internet (for about 4-5 months), I rediscovered books. I was actually using my library card for something besides movies & music! Here is what I read this year (the links are to posts I wrote earlier this year about the books.) There are probably spoilers in these posts, so beware. (Note: I know some of you are avid readers and your reading lists are probably much, much longer than mine. So go easy; this was a big accomplishment for me.)

• Finding Your Purpose as a Mom - Donna Otto
• To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
• The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald (which contained this excellent sentence: "No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart.")
• Ya Yas in Bloom - Rebecca Wells
• Rebecca - Daphne du Maurier (great sentence: "No crisis can break through the crust of habit.")
• The Bell Jar - Sylvia Plath
• Joy in the Morning - Betty Smith
• Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe - Fannie Flagg
• Blue Like Jazz - Donald Miller
• Through Painted Deserts - Donald Miller
• Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows - JK Rowling (I wrote a lengthy comment about this to Jenny's post here.)
• A Woman After God's Own Heart - Elizabeth George (in progress)
• Sacred Marriage - Gary Thomas (in progress)
• And these books of the Bible in completion: Luke, Acts, & Proverbs

So here are the 3 that stuck with me the most (not including those books of the Bible):

* Finding Your Purpose as a Mom - a wonderfully practical guide to making the most of stay-at-home motherhood, from a Christian perspective. Donna Otto gave me much to think about and apply in my relationships with Lucy, Eli, & Dave. I have to re-read it and think more on the ideas she presented to me. I recommend this to all moms!!

* Rebecca - such a suspenseful book! I'm talking stay-up-all-night till your eyes can't take it anymore suspense. The fact that it was so long and the print was so tiny and I finished it in 3 days makes me very proud. Better than most of the movies I saw this year, hands down.

* Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows - a fitting ending to a phenomenal series. I look forward to rereading these gems many times in future years.

What about you? What books really stuck with you this year? (ps: That's a photo of Dave with Lucy, November 2006).

Dawnomite's Year-End Faves!

It's that time of the year! No, I'm not referring to Christmas and all that fun stuff. I mean year-end lists! To celebrate a great year of blogging far & wide, I'm going to be posting favorite lists of movies, music, tv shows, books, blog posts, photographs, & web articles I enjoyed this year, as well as list other random things. I'm a sucker for a good list. Aren't you?

i'm published!

well, virtually. i wrote a guest blogger post over at The Mom Crowd. check it out!

where are my keys?

I found this here.

I consider myself a pretty organized person, so this caught my attention. I bolded the items that we do not have in our house. I put an asterisk next to the things I could find immediately.

Often, people don’t realize how disorganized they are. Are you? Take this quiz.
At a minimum, you should know exactly where to find these possessions (assuming, of course, you own them—and you should):

 * stamps
 * your passport and if you’re married, your spouse’s passport
 a corkscrew
 * Bandaids
 a safety pin
 a flashlight
 * a functioning alarm clock
 * paperclips or a stapler
 * your phone charger
 * a spare set of keys
 * your doctor’s phone number
 * cinnamon
 * your tax statements from 2003
 * fabric stain remover
 a pair of mittens
 * spare AA batteries

Congratulate yourself for being well-organized if you can also say exactly where you’d find these objects:

 a tape measure
 * your high-school yearbook
 a Swiss army knife
 * a pencil sharpener
 a copy of Pride and Prejudice or The Da Vinci Code
 the instruction manual for your camera
 silver polish
 * a vase the proper size to hold a bunch of tulips
 food coloring
 * a tube of lip balm (only in every one of my pants pockets!)
 a cheese knife
 an extension cord
 a recipe for a favorite food your mother or father used to make
 * a pack of playing cards
 *a pad of sticky notes (Post-Its)

One observation: disorganized people often aim to put things away approximately. They’ll keep something “in a kitchen drawer” or “in my office.” It’s much more satisfying to put things away in an exact location—like a particular kitchen drawer. It takes some effort, at first, to decide where everything belongs, but once you’ve put objects in their proper places, it’s much easier to return them there.

Now, to toot my own organizational horn: I have a whole drawers devoted to post-its, plasticware, party napkins, stickers, etc. I also have a handy container to store my paperclips right here on our desk. We have scissors and a pen/pencil cup in 3 different rooms. I have boxes assigned to each of my kids for cards and mail they receive. Our passports and other key documents are located in the same manila envelope. I could go on & on. My hiccup is that I can't keep my office/desk area very neat. Despite my penchant for organization, things still look cluttered. I see Pottery Barn ads and think, ha ha, like I'd ever have EVERYTHING put away like they do in those pictures!

So I'm not sure how this quiz categorizes me: I'd have to say I'm organized but not as neat as I'd like to be.

What about you?

*******************************************************
11/24/07 - for Priya - (I do not take credit for any of these ideas; they're my way of handling things based on magazines, what I've seen in other people's homes, etc. There are probably many other more organized people out there - and a plug: great tips can be found in Blueprint, a magazine I sang praises about here).

* baskets next to each toilet for extra rolls of tp and magazines
* solid-color mugs next to each bathroom sink for q-tips (a cheap way to do it)
* long rectangular rubbermaid containers for wrapping paper; store under the bed
* get a weighted tape dispenser and replacement rolls; it's easier to use and cheaper in the long run
* we couldn't afford a real filing cabinet for important papers, so we use cheap plastic crates and green hanging file folders. we have files for each person's medical papers, car info, insurance info, receipts for donations, tax stuff, paycheck stubs, magazine subscription forms, etc. at the end of each year, i take my 3-ring hole punch and put all of that year's paperwork into a large 3-ring binder. it helps with spring tax season. this year i'm not going to buy another large binder. i'm going to take out my papers from the 2004 binder, keep them in a box, and reuse that binder for 2008.
* we have a little desk organizer shelf thingie on an end table for our many tv remotes. it helps to always have them there. i also put current magazines & papers in the larger slots.
* keep stamps and address labels in your wallet and on your desk
* keep your address book, stamps, and all of your stationery in one place, like a nice box. put nice pens in there so you don't have to dig for them when you want to write a card.
* (that's probably why i tend to buy stamps 3 sheets at a time)
* if mailing cards to people is important to you, keep a separate calendar for birthdays, anniversaries, etc. near your stationery.
* keep a box (decorative photo boxes at michael's are cheap) for "special" mail (letters, cards, etc) - at the end of the year, go through them and only keep the most important things; recycle the rest
* for all that memorabilia, childhood keepsakes, papers you can't bear to part with: keep them in medium-sized rubbermaid containers in a closet. whenever i'm digging for something sentimental, i go right to them. same thing for pictures if you have a lot of pictures.
* get a magnetic notepad for your fridge - use for grocery lists, ideas, reminders, etc
* get those plastic drawers for different office things. for example, i have drawers for address labels, stickers, postcards, stamps, envelopes, highlighters, markers, pencils/pens, post-its, staples, etc.
* if you can, allow one kitchen drawer to be the junk drawer for batteries, gum, chopsticks & soy sauce, take out menus, etc.
* oh! latest idea: we keep a chinese takeout menu in the kitchen drawer AND in our car center console. that way we can order if we're already out. totally brill.

anyone have any other ideas? nothing is too obvious or silly!

favorite five: the music down yonder

i've had a list of songs posted at the bottom of my blog for awhile now. maybe you've noticed and clicked on one of them whilst perusing my blog. maybe not. (if you are in the latter category, i encourage you to head down there and give one a listen!) here are some thoughts on a few of them:

"Falling Slowly" (Glen Hansard) - last summer, i was scouring moviefone.com for a flick to see with dave for our anniversary. i came across the trailer for a small movie called Once, about musicians. yep, it's that simple. a movie about musicians that features real musicians singing beautiful songs. i watched the preview at least 3 times, transfixed. this is the song playing throughout. something in the song awakened that ache, that feeling you get when great music speaks to your soul. i haven't seen the movie yet; both it and its soundtrack are on my Christmas wish list.

"We Used to Be Friends" (The Dandy Warhols) - theme song to Veronica Mars. totally strange sounding the first few times i heard it; in fact, i couldn't even understand a word they were singing. but now i think it's the coolest sounding song, and i associate it with the coolness that was Veronica Mars. whoever selected the songs for VM was pretty sharp. each song complemented or underscored a scene perfectly, like

"Sway" (The Perishers) - a perfectly romantic song played during a key Veronica/Logan moment in season 2.

"Chasing Cars" (Snow Patrol) - awesome. listen to it loudly. it's crazy romantic. "all that i am, all that i'll ever want, is here in your perfect eyes, they're all i can see"

"Crazy in Love" (Beyonce) - i'm no beyonce fan by any means, but i LOVE this song. i started loving it about a year after it was popular (that's just the way i roll, baby). and i just want to dance every time i hear it. it's used in the climactic ending of Bridget Jones' 2 and i got all excited then, for example. i'd never buy the whole album, so having it on this music player is perfect for me.

what about you? what five songs get routine play in your stereos, ipods, mp3 players, etc?

Favorite Five: Quotes from The Office

(...seriously, choosing 5 is nearly impossible...)

Michael Scott: "TMI? Too Much Information. It’s just easier to say TMI. I used to say "don't go there", but that's lame."

Michael Scott: "I do read Small Businessman. I also subscribe to USA Today and American Way magazine. That’s the in-flight magazine. Some great articles in that. They did this great profile last month of Doris Roberts and where she likes to eat when she’s in Phoenix. Illuminating."

Dwight Schrute: "Identity theft is not a joke, Jim! Millions of families suffer every year!"
Jim Halpert: "Michael!"
Dwight Schrute: "Oh that's funny. Michael!"

Michael Scott: "Wow. They grow up so fast. I have a few of my own that I want someday."

Michael Scott: "I am like Eddie Murphy in Raw, and they are trying to make me into Eddie Murphy in Daddy Day Care. Both great movies, but still."

Favorite Five

Anna posted recently about networks showing reruns in light of the writer's strike (which could affect our tv-watching enjoyment if something doesn't get worked out soon!)... and asked us which shows we'd enjoy watching in reruns. I thought about it. It's basically the same question as "Which shows would I want to buy on dvd?" In my new list format, here's my "favorite five tv shows to watch in reruns or own on dvd":


1. The Wonder Years. Easy. I've wanted this on dvd since dvd's were invented. If only they could get those stupid music-rights-issues settled! You may recall, the show utilized a ton of classic sixties music to underscore the emotion of the storytelling. If it is to be transferred to dvd, they'd have to redo each episode with different songs due to money & rights issues. I don't know how else to describe it because I'm not that bright when it comes to the details. Anyway, TWY will always be one of my favorite tv shows ever. I am the same age as Fred Savage, so I more or less grew up with Kevin as the show progressed over the years. (Random scene: in the finale, Kevin follows Winnie to a summer camp place where she's working, and confronts her at the pool. He's wearing a t-shirt with a tomato on it - I have no idea why - and after she rejects him, the narrator's voice says all seriously, "I felt I had been shot... right through the tomato." Even in its poignancy and drama, the show was very funny.)


2. Sports Night. One of the best series I have ever had the privilege of watching. Dave & I watched it on dvd those early weeks after Lucy was born (thanks, Rob!). Witty, smart, hilarious, moving, romantic. Unforgettable. Come to think of it, if anyone seriously wants to get this for me as a Christmas gift, I'd be all over that.

3. My So-Called Life. I saw a few episodes of this coming-of-age classic on vhs, thanks to my old roomie Brie. I liked what I saw. It was compelling and entertaining. It ended too early, making it that much better. Having only seen some of it only one time, I'd love to view it again.


4. Freaks and Geeks. I haven't seen any episodes of this show, and I hear it's pretty great. Also plagued by great reviews and early cancellation. Plus, it's got Marshall in it. I love Marshall.


5. Veronica Mars. I have to give this show a shout-out because Dave & I recently discovered it at our local library. Twisty, turny, snarky, fun little show about a sassy high-school girl who is something of a Nancy Drew. We love it. It's like Lost: who thinks up this stuff? It's so complicated and brilliant. Alas, our library doesn't yet carry season 3. No spoilers, please!

What about you? If first-run shows are history for the time being, which shows would you choose for your prime time viewing?

Favorite Five

Here are my five favorite Counting Crows songs:


St. Robinson in His Cadillac Dream
the funnest song to try to sing along with; great driving music


I was born on the shores of Chesapeake Bay
But Maryland and Virginia have faded away
And I keep thinking tomorrow is coming today
So I am endlessly waiting


Speedway
very melancholy and emotional


In all this time, the bottom line
You don't know how much I feel
You say you see
But I don't agree
Don't know, don't know how I feel


Miami
just a cool song. i like how it builds up to its conclusion about "shutting it down" in New Orleans


The bus is running
It's time to leave
This summer's gone
And so are we
So come on baby,
Let's go shut it down in New Orleans


I Wish I Was a Girl
easy and fun to sing along to


For all the things I'm losing
I might as well resign myself to try and make a change
And I'm going down to hollywood
They're gonna make a movie from the things
That they find crawling round my brain


Sullivan Street
best melancholy Crows song of all time


She's nearly crawling on her knees
It's almost everything I need


Plus I have to include what are probably my favorite CC lyrics in all of their songs:

We'll I'm all messed up, that's nothing new

Hey monkey, when you open up your blue eyes,

I don't know if I'm wide awake or dreaming

But all I ever need is everything

("Monkey")

Dave's faves:
Hanginaround ("came out right about the time I was tired of living in California, so I left there")
Long December ("because it came out right before I went out to California, and it talks about being there")


Bob's fave:
Raining in Baltimore ("it bookends a great episode of Homicide")

so, which is it?

Throughout my life, there are numerous common phrases I find myself saying, knowing what I'm trying to get across yet not knowing if I get the phrase itself right. Does that make sense? Such phrases include (but are not limited to!):

"I've said my peace." I have always imagined it's "I've said my piece", meaning my part of the conversation is out there now. Either way, it doesn't matter unless I'm writing it down.

"I'd just assume call you Mr. Big Bird, thank you." That's how I think the correct phrase goes. I always say, "I'd just as soon call you Mr. Big Bird, thank you." Which one's the right one? (For the record, I've never actually had a conversation with Big Bird, or any other bird, for that matter).

And I've oscillated between "I could care less" and "I couldn't care less" throughout the years. I've heard both equally. So, which is it? And what phrases do you often mess up but say anyway?

Can't choose just one? How about 100?

It's no secret that I love movies. I'm a huge movie fan. About five years ago, someone I know who likes movies a lot challenged me to make a top 100 list of movie favorites, and he showed me his own. It was fascinating. Chuck had the lot of us working up our own Top 100 lists, namely Melissa & me. Recently I decided to update my list. It occurred to me that I don't use my blog to discuss completely unnecessary things often enough, so here you go!

Below is my Top 100. It's organized alphabetically, save for the top 10, which are ranked in favorite order. Disclaimer: I do not profess that these are the best 100 films of all time. These are simply ones I like have have enjoyed many times.

1. A River Runs Through It - a beautiful exploration of faith and family, with gorgeous photography and a score that completely moves me. There is so much one can take from this film.

2. The Shawshank Redemption - I love the theme of redemption, and this one is quintessentially sweet! The end, when Morgan Freeman's character says, "I hope...", is one of the happiest movie endings I've ever seen. His redemption is more poignant to me than that of Tim Robbins' character.

3. Moulin Rouge! - crazy-fun and gorgeous colors; a feast for the eyes and a classic love story, not to mention a phenomenal soundtrack. Dave and I danced to "Your Song" at our wedding and our recessional was "Come What May" (I will love you until our dying day...)

4. Walk the Line - Joaquin Phoenix will probably end up in a different blog, since I think he's the best thing since bean & cheese tacos, but he MAKES this movie what it is. I first saw this not really interested in the life of Johnny Cash, and both times Dave & I went, I was fascinated by the life he led, the music he created, and the portrayal Joaquin gives him. There's hope for redemption in the father-son relationship that anchors the film, too.

5. The Village - Phenomenal movie. I like all of Shymalan's films and think he is a great storyteller. (Marketing or mismarketing a movie is a different issue altogether). This is my favorite one. Again, it's got my boy Joaquin in it. The central love story is simple and beautiful, and the acting by Bryce Dallas Howard & Adrien Brody impressed me to no end. Favorite scenes: when Ivy Walker is waiting at the doorway for Lucius to come "save" her, and he comes out of the darkness to grab her hand and move her to the cellar (beautiful slow-motion there); when Ivy & Lucius discuss their future wedding and their relationship on the porch.

6. The Other Side of the Mountain Part 2 - it's hokey and unintentionally funny at times, but the love story is really sweet. I think only Annawhiner & my family have ever seen this one.

7. Before Sunset - this movie wouldn't be what it is without Before Sunrise, but it's better. It's completely heartbreaking and it ends too soon and it left me with a melancholy feeling for days afterward. Best left for a rainy day.

8. Empire Records - gets better with repeated viewings, and has some of the best quotable lines ever. A pre-famous Renee Zellweger & Liv Tyler. Funniest character is Lucas, played by Rory Cochrane, who is freaking hilarious.

9. Evolution - supremely silly and vastly funny ensemble comedy. I love that David Duchovny and Julianne Moore, two "serious" actors, crack joke after joke in this one. She plays a great klutz. This one made me get a crush on Orlando Jones.

10. Groundhog Day - funny, quotable, and literally timeless. I can watch it over & over again, which is subtly ironic.

11. 13 Going on 30

12. Amelie of Montmarte

13. American Graffiti

14. As Good As It Gets
