a happy chilly monday morning to you

i almost could have worn a jacket this morning - but i hate jackets and i wouldn't wear one in august just out of principle. don't start panicking yet - i just checked the weather report (it's what i do best) and it's supposed to be back in the mid-90s by this weekend.

and what else is everyone talking about this morning?

- west elm finally opened their store downtown this morning. and since i work a block away i already stopped into see it. for anyone who remembers going to woodie's as a kid will love how they kept a lot of the original architectural designs in tact. especially the grand stair case - it looks great!

- hopefully no one has plans to go to jamaica anytime soon. the island is currently taking a beating from hurricane dean. officials are bracing for massive flooding and looting. luckily my boss' development is up on a hill - and he was lucky to hop on a plane friday afternoon. and i'd be worried about sean paul - but since we saw him on k st. friday night i'm guessing he's ok.

- i was telling my roommates about this over the weekend. we weren't really sold on the concept. what do you think?

- i am happy to report that my first ice cream making experience was a success! i decided to start simple and make vanilla. it's so easy - all you have to do is mix the milk, cream, sugar and vanilla and just pour it into the ice cream maker. then you leave it churning for 30 minutes and voila - homemade ice cream!

so, what's on the plate (haha) for this week? i've got lunch plans at georgia brown's and dinner plans at willow and poste. and maybe i'll have to make another batch of ice cream to go along with all the brownies and cookies that miraculously appeared in our kitchen:)
