10 on Tuesday

1. Some mornings I wake up, look at the weather forecast, and am instantly paralyzed by the cold. Today was one of those days. I’m tired of the cold.

2. At least it’s supposed to snow tonight – snow makes the cold worth it.

3. I’m not excited to have it rain after and ruin all the prettiness of the snow.

4. Work is….ugh. But I’d rather be ….ugh than ….unemployed.

5. I took this photo because it was a long day of staring at the computer screen with few breaks and my eyes have been killing me since about 11:00 AM.

6. All afternoon I’ve had Guess Who’s These Eyes stuck in my head.

7. This week for Biggest Loser, my unhealthy intake consists of Coke. Which is probably better than my usual unhealthy intake during Biggest Loser.

8. I have a Starbucks addiction (which I try to kick periodically, but my boss always convinces me not to: “It’s not like you’re addicted to crack!”), but when they finally started selling a 12 oz travel mug I officially downsized from a grande to a tall. Today, however, called for a grande.

9. Why am I not wearing my pajamas yet?

10. Champ is currently chasing her football across the house – I think she’s excited about the Superbowl this weekend!

Hardly working?

I was the last man standing at work. There were about 10 of us in the office, which normally has about 60 people, to start the day. People panic when it snows (do they not know that they live in New England? I really don’t get that) and it was dead quiet, so by noon I was the only one left.

I had thrown this old sweatshirt on over my sweater when I left in the morning because it was so cold, and took it off when I got to the office. After lunch I got cold and decided that if there was no one there to see me it was okay to wear it. That sweatshirt is 11 years old, and I love it. both sleeves are completely frayed on the edges and there’s paint on it from various apartments. I might keep it until I die.

Felted love

I bought these felted wool bracelets from greyleaf on Etsy and they arrived while I was in DC/VA. I managed to find coordinating sweaters to wear to work two days in a row (and have a third for Wednesday, too!). The sweater I’m wearing in this picture is actually one that I bought on my lunch break because I found a hole in the sweater I had on. I bought it because it coordinated with the bracelets.

I love them so much that I’m thinking about buying more colors. And perhaps the bigger bangle she sells as well.

Cow toes

These are the magic socks that Santa left in my stocking. They’re magic because they were packed teeny teeny tiny and I had to put them in a bowl of water to grow them to wearable size. Also magic because Claire and Ben both got magic socks that fit their feet, and these also fit my feet. Which are considerably larger. They’re actually very comfy!

Waiting My Turn

From my early morning walk in the snow. The world looks so much better with 8 inches of relatively undisturbed snow on top of it. Unless you’re at the airport waiting for a plane so you can get to DC. ;)
