reading:
Into the Wild
A funny, sweet book. It's more related to Into the Woods the musical and not at all Krakauer. The sequel, Out of the Wild, will be available in June.

making:
chex mix
What is perfect for bringing along on a weekend trip that involves ferry rides? A huge bag of homemade chex mix, that's what.

considering:
Land's End wedge slides
Having grown up in the Midwest I have a rebellious aversion to anything Land's End, but seeing as how I have trouble wearing flip flops and they have these foam slide thingies, I might have to break my rule. Thank you Rebecca for pointing them out to me!

buying:
Philosophy the supernatural, poreless flawless, spf 15
Previously I had considered Clinique Pore Minimizer but people recommended trying this one because it has an spf of 15.

studying:
No Sheep For You
When this book first came out I wasn't knitting sweaters yet, but now that I am the patterns are extra appealing. The book covers non-animal fibers and substitutions for wool yarns. They even recommend putting your swatches through a sag test, brilliant.

cooking:
chili chicken
This recipe from My Feasts more than satisfied my craving for something spicy and I got to cook with dried chilies for the first time. Found on TasteSpotting.

deciding:
on a color for throw pillows
I need new pillows for a dark gray couch (ok, futon) but I have not decorated the room at all, so I'm having trouble figuring out what color to get. Different shades of gray perhaps? Uh.

browsing:
Alchemy
Etsy's service where customers request something and Etsy sellers put bids in on the work, it's fascinating. I have found a few thing I've always wanted as well.

watching:
Family Guy Blue Harvest
When this aired we were watching it in an empty middle-of-nowhere hotel bar and a few guys on staff wandered in to watch it with us. This memory is not as bleak as I've made it sound.

popping:
sour gummi bear vitamins
Apparently I'm so much more likely to remember a daily vitamin if I'm pretending I'm six years old.

considering:
L.L. Bean Weather Challenger Jacket
A friend of mine has this jacket and gives it high marks, and I love that it comes in a gray/black combination, so many jackets for women only come in sherbet colors.

waxing:
my eyebrows
I had my eyebrows shaped for the first time. I went to the Wax Bar here in Seattle and it was a good experience. Also, they can serve alcohol, so if you're feeling nervous this is a nice place to be.

loving:
Blue Sky Alpacas Dyed Cotton yarn
This is lovely and soft and comes in colors fit for grown ups. I was lucky enough to get this at a recent 50% off yarn sale, and I think it was worth battling the crowds.

eating:
Manischewitz barley shape egg noodles
When thrown into soup they are like teeny tiny dumplings.

playing:
Dwarf Complete
This is a fun puzzle game created by On of Eyemaze. It was commissioned by the onine RPG game Lineage II, but you don't have to be into that to enjoy this game. If you get stuck you can find help at JIG Casual Gameplay. This was a good distraction for a rainy Sunday afternoon.
