Just a minute... in October

So, what's been going on this month J.a.M.ers?

Reading... Collezioni magazine (I have borrowed a couple; these 400-page magazines are just incredible!) Also: Julie & Julia (still...I know!), Healthy Food Guide, and I've dragged out all of my low GI cookbooks for inspiration.

Keeping... a food diary for one week to see exactly what I devour each day.

Sewing... in every spare moment I can find.

Watching... Julie & Julia - a really sweet movie. Julia Child's high-pitched voice did get on my nerves about half-way through, but the show was completely entertaining. And this month's picks on the Teev: Being Erica (still love this show), DeadWood Series 1 (somewhat addictive, despite the seriously horrendous language), The Vampire Diaries (it's like an undead version of Dawson's Creek), FlashForward and True Blood Series 2 (Bell & I are about half-way through now).

Trying... not to cram too much into each day. Keeping it light, you know?

Making... a list of dress fabric stores in/around Melbourne to visit this weekend. Any recommendations? Pretty please leave me yours.

Congratulating... all those bloggers going nuts with Blogtoberfest, now that's dedication for you! Maybe a J.a.M. post can help you out in the final days.

Playing... along? If so, simply add yourself below so other J.a.M.ers can visit.

I keep meaning to look into Being Erica ever since you mentioned it last. Time just isn't my friend these days. haha.

I'm loving FlashForward, too. It's been fantastic thus far. I'm hooked. :P

I need to keep a food diary too... although it's scary to think about what would be listed at the moment.

Courtney Awesome said...

This is my J.A.Mginity all gone.

Miss Sofia said...

I love True Blood, but I saw the pilot of Vampire Diaries and hated it.
A food diary is definitely a good idea, it would totally help me lose some weight. Hm.

I really want to see Julia and Jullia, and you are now the second person who's seen it, and liked it!!
I'm so annoyed Being Erica isn't at my VIdeo store!!
I'm the same I love to do my bears every minute I can.

I love the sewing bits, i've always wanted to start myself. good luck with finding your shops.

eM said...

I wish I could sew, but I'm terminally non-crafty! I love this as an idea for a blog post, thanks :)

{Rachel ann} said...

I just signed up! Can't wait to read up on the other bloggers! :))

Gina said...

Oooh, dress fabrics. Well I've not been to Tessuti but it looks like the place to be... but you must also check out Rathdowne Remnants in Brunswick, Which also happens to be very near to GJs discount fabrics and another fabric store (Clegs?)... although you've probably already gone hunting!

Food diary, bleurch. Julie & Julia, better! A friend says she preferred the movie...?
