it has come to my attention tonight that the ridgebacks (dogs) have...ridged backs!!! so basically, the fur on their sides grow soft in one way and suddenly on the TOP of the dog goes the other way...so it's ridged...WHAT A CRAZY IDEA! YET THERE IT IS!!!! i was bowled over. amazing. how did god create such creatures? did noah have a pair of them in the ark? or is this the result of cross-breeding/pairing/mating? fascinating!

wait, i wonder if us human beings also have "ridgebacks" too....hrm.

watched Julie & Julia with a bunch of girls on sunday. it was very amusing and also touching at the time. of course, mistress meryl brought all that and more - a true entertainment.

was looking through my tattered copy of the Joy of Cooking book last night as i have a friend to entertain next week (thinking of doing ratatouille with pasta) and an overwhelming feeling of wanting to "play housewife" pervaded me. right now i'm so focused on finding my future re: being a piano teacher, i'm not listening or thinking or feeling any others yet here it is - the quintessential "womanly" feeling coming out. instead of wrinkles on the face, perhaps this is the true sign of getting older - wanting to create a homey environment for oneself.

i wonder if eve ever felt wanting to be 'homey' - certainly she had NO TIME to do so, as she had to assit adam, dealing with simple livelihood of just LIVING and SURVIVING. perhaps she was contemplating being homey when the snake tempted her. i must be on my guard.

yes, i greedily look at le creuset collection...

it's been awhile! i thought i was going to leave this forever, ditching in favor of social media but ahem, twitter is not doing it for me. so i shall be back periodically....with more ranting & ravings as usual.

over and out
