1) i saw or rather watched, with a somewhat mixed anxiety, amazement and amusement, a wee dormouse scampering about near the busstop yesterday morning finding scraps of nibbles admist the snow-covered pavement... it seems desperation got the better of its timidness and it went for the spring-roll-samosa that someone must have dropped the night before... it was totally oblivious to its audience.
2) i went shopping yesterday evening in hope to find some trousers for the chilly weather... instead... i found a lovely deep turquoise green-blue (peacock's tail) woolly cardi at BananaRepublic for about 44% its original price! it looks a little like a kimono-top (me and my craze about the upcoming Memoirs of A Geisha...) with its flar-out collars and a thin woolly sash which i can tie into a bow... i *love* the colour... and am amazed to find that it will go very nicely with the wee dress of the same shade i wore during my big GorGor and Lynette's wedding and monoceros's nuptial banquet!
3) i actually did find trousers though after much search but they are not quite what i had in mind (which are warm corduroys in shades that don't seem to exist in reality)... and was surprised that i could actually fit into a regular size 0! i honestly don't get the US sizes here... they seem to differ from store to store.... still i wish more stores would stock petites... sigh.
4) if only they (the organizers are a somewhat elitist group of food-bloggers) had this a lot earlier... i have sent my sterling ? cheque to Unicef UK many weeks ago when it happend with lots of appeals... however, for those who might still be wondering how you could help... this is another great way to help the less-fortunate of us all... you might even get a foodie x'mas gift!
... i am sure there are more than these things i wanted to share... will rummage my memory for the others...
5) sick-filthy-minded spammers attacked my blog!

If necessary, go on-line for the petite sizes.

yup... i did go on-line to browse for the petite sizes but i also strongly suggested on the feedback survey that they ought to have some petite sizes in at their Mall of America store!
