The Presents Coming to Use

I got many great presents for my birthday last week. Among them were:

• From Hannah: An Obama shirt, a bag of black licorice (yummy!), a photo of me and her, a photo album of camping, an Irish button, and a CD of the amazing video she made!
• From relatives: 2 $25 iTunes cards, money
• From other friends: 3 earrings, 5 mini-hand-sanitizers, Julia Child's book, Julia Child's cookbook "Mastering the Art of French Cooking," a cute set of tablespoons, and "Catching Fire"
• From Mom and Dad: A "Stay Fresh" shirt, and the Mary Poppins 45th Anniversary Edition DVD

I've gotten much use out of all of them, I've watched Mary Poppins about 3 times over, I've started Catching Fire, I've bought a bunch of songs on iTunes, I've put the money in my wallet, I've worn 2 of the 3 earrings, I've worn the Obama shirt and the Stay Fresh shirt! They are all AWESOME!!!

Thanks so much everyone!!

Julie & Julia

Today Mom and I saw Julie & Julia! Meryl Streep was AMAZING as Julia Child. She even had the perfect Julia Child voice! Amy Adams played Julie Powell, who also was amazing. My favorite character (apart from Julia...) was her husband, Paul, played by Stanley Tucci. It was a really great movie, because I really love cooking. The food looked really good also.
