Kathy said around cocktail hour on November 14, 2007

Things I love today:

Blueprint Magazine:  I know it’s a Martha Stewart deal but it’s so much more creative and earthy.  Plus this month has a pink Christmas tree on the cover and tons of cool gift ideas.  You all know I am a whore for gift ideas.

Ritter Sport Chocolate:  I don’t think this one needs an explanation but I could literally eat 400 of the butter biscuit chocolate ones.  Seriously.  And damn Target for carrying it near the register.

The response so far to SafeMama.com:  Everyone seems to be reacting positively to the site which makes me happy.  I feel warm and fuzzy when I do things that help other people.  Ahhhh… *fuzz*

This blog:  I love that having this domain ensures that I get tons of really cool search strings for cocktails and that people send me cocktail recipes.  I’ll share one that was sent to me today:
