Channeling my inner beach...

More snow?

Mother Nature, you've got to be kidding.

I'd rather be here...

Or here...

I'd rather be here...doing this...

Think Spring!

Cork it.

New. Blog. Obsession. Can't. Stop. Reading.

Head is swimming with ideas, ideals, tips, tricks...

What we need...

What we want...

What I want...

And here's the first. I know just the place for you. More to come.

Hunkered Down.

Oh, snow.

Philly was hammered this weekend with about two feet of the white stuff. It was beautiful (to me), as I had not one place to go. I was scheduled to work at Sam's on Saturday, but the restaurant was closed. I made a pot roast and mashed potatoes, had some fresh veggies and Trader Joe's hummus. Watched movies, did a little cleaning, napped...it was great.

And here we are, on Tuesday, and we are bracing for another foot tonight into tomorrow. Preemptive actions are being taken around the office for a possible closing tomorrow and, I have to admit, I am as excited as a kid in grade school...listening to that fuzzy KYW1060 broadcast...waiting, praying, WISHING, for that magic number to be called...

Ready to be snowed in again...got BBQ pulled pork in the crock pot, some whole wheat rolls, leftover pizza, a book to finish and another to start, more veggies, the lovely convenience of modern technology and NetFlix on Demmand. A wonderful thing.

So I can kiss you anytime I want.

Watched Sweet Home Alabama last night...

Reece is so young in that flick...

and Josh Lucas is just too cute for words...

It made me want to live in a small town...

no big buildings...

no public transportation...

county fairs and dive bars...

home cooking...

so simple...

Happy Birthday Aunt Mar!

I love you and I hope you have a great day! xo

animal love.

Even if you are not a true animal lover (which, admittedly, I am not) - you will absolutely love Interspecies Friends, a new addition to my daily reads. Although the posts don't appear to have many words, just more ooh and ahh-worthy pics.

It's complete cuteness overload.

{this guy reminds me of Puff}

{not sure it could be any more adorable}

We have much to learn from these guys...

Confession.

I always cheated.

Happy Monday, all.
