I've actually got some pictures ready for the next update.  I don't have them all, but the next one will be all Roman, and this means a lot of it will be Sextus and Other PB's wedding and the first baby, Duodecimus Marius.  I've got a couple more weddings to throw, and then we're back with the Goodytwoshoes again.  Hopefully I'll be caught up on reviews soon, too.

Also, if you haven't been to see the new movie *Julie and Julia*, GO GO GO.  It was absolutely fabulous.  It's based on a real story.  An office worker and writer decides to do a blog:  she would cook all 524 recipes in Julia Child's cookbook in 365 days, which is NUTS.  I won't ruin it for you, but how often do you get a triple threat like Nora Ephron, Meryl Streep, and Amy Adams?  Stanley Tucci is great, too, as Julia Child's husband Paul.  It's about women, it's about writing, it is about FOOD.  It even brought back some not-so-lovely memories of getting a book published:  it is every bit as annoying as they make it seem.  

After you see it, you're awfully tempted to get your very own copy of *Mastering the Art of French Cooking*, and after awhile, I stopped struggling.  It's actually not a bad time to do that, because they've published a bunch of movie tie-ins (what a surprise!)  So I got the first volume of Mastering the Art of French Cooking and Julia Child's *My Life in France* and Julie Powell's book for less than 40.00 from Amazon. And after I get Julia Child's book, I will teach myself how to make a really, really good omelette.  

Yes, I should be working, but this is also my chance to fix up the house and do some crafty and domestic stuff that I can never manage to do when school is going on.  I've got a crochet project in the works, too.  So I'm pretty happy.
