five up, for julia

julia over at red otter did a post of lists, and dammit, now i want one too.

top three things that i wish i could buy, if it weren't for the fact that i just dropped moola on new boots:

01) fungi micro-sculpture by element clay studio

02) organic shapes earrings by jen kahn

03) enamel feather earrings by jewelry by natsuko

five things i'm doing this weekend:

01) being taken out for a belated birthday dinner

02) schlepping around in my jogging pants.

03) visiting my old friend duncan, who's hosting a housewarming-slash-halloween party

04) finishing up a painting

05) dyeing my sisters hair

the weekend forecast looks incredibly rainy, so my top five rainy-weather essentials are:

01) a fantastically relaxing yoga class to get you mellow and in sync with the weather

02) a good book (and good golly, i sure have a few of those to get crack-a-lackin on...)

03) tea and a royal gala apple, eaten in silence while listening to the raindrops on the roof

04) a warm sweater and comfy pants

05) a pantry stacked with food to cook, so you dont have to go out!

i'm pretty happy with where i am right now, so my last five-list will just be top five rainy day songs. in no particular order:

01) narrow daylight - diana krall

02) dogs - damien rice

03) souls - chantal kreviazuk

04) transatlanticism - death cab for cutie

05) they stood up for love - live (acoustic version)
