Maybe it makes you feel worse, but it makes me feel better to read cookie recipes. I don't know why, maybe because I love cookies and Christmas. Or, if you don't like cookies because you're freak:

Or how about the California Raisins being their creepy selves, brightening your holiday:

I'm making the cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving so I had to go to the market today and buy cranberries. I was kind of scared to do it, because sometimes vendors aren't always nice to you here. You would think that, because they're selling things to you, and that they would in theory want your return business, that they would be nice to you. This is false. Anyways... I was kind of scared, because you have to put cranberries in kilograms, not pounds or ounces. But they were so nice to me! I got cranberries, and oranges and apples, and the lady was really patient and made sure I was getting the right type of apples. Then, when I was paying, she asked if I was Swedish or English. !!!! Isn't that great? Those were the two things that passed through her head first. Since she was so nice to me, I leaned close and mumbled "I'm American." I waited for her to cringe or get that "Oh... American..." look on her face, but she didn't do it. Or she hid it well. I was so excited... and that basically made my whole day. Also I wore my fur hat and got weird looks on the bus. Loooove it.
I forgot to mention that yesterday I INTENDED on going to the Pushkin Fine Arts museum with some girls from school. They forgot I was coming so I got to the metro and they had already left. In this one area of town, there are three museums in very, very close proximity. The Pushkin main art museum, the 19th Century Pushkin art museum, and the Ilya Glazunov Artist of the USSR Gallery. Both Ilya Glazunov Gallery AND Pushkin 19th century are green buildings. So when Jenna told me to meet her "At the green building across from the big Pushkin museum" I went to, of course, the wrong one. So I got to spend an hour in the Ilya Glazunov museum which, not gonna lie, is kind of a weird gallery. He painted a lot of naked women. I found his paintings to be tacky, but I loved his crazy, gothic sketches:
This was one of my favorites, his site in English is

so check it out if you want.
Anywayssss, stay warm everyone.
