Okay, I promise I’ll give you an Actual Post with Pictures tomorrow, documenting The Painting of our apartment.  It is exciting, and I know you are on the edge of your seat, but we finished late after it was dark, and the pictures would have been bad.

So in the meantime, here are some recommendations that I’d like to share.

Watch these movies (available on Netflix):

There are actually four separate movies in this 2-disc set, Much Ado About Nothing, Macbeth, The Taming of the Shrew, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream.  Each is a retelling of the Shakespeare story, but set in modern day, with modern language.  And they are all superb.  I was feeling very girly this week, and watched The Taming of the Shrew (my personal favorite of the four) and A Midsummer Night’s Dream.  Shakespeare definitely had the Romantic Comedy genre down pat.

Make these cookies:

At least, that is what I plan to do with my time on Sunday afternoon!  I’m thinking I’m going to try filling them with peanut butter cream cheese frosting, and seeing if that doesn’t blow my mind.

Read this blog (especially since I’ve been lax at updating mine!):

A friend just clued me into this one, and I haven’t laughed so hard in quite awhile.  Definitely research The Face, and Tree Brain.  And don’t wet your pants.
