Its official...

This is the time of year where I start hating New York weather. I dont so much mind the snow as Ive always been a fan, but when the high of the day is in the teens I have a real problem. And to make matters worse when its really cold, its usually really windy. Crappy conditions on their own, but worse when combined. Its okay though, because Im fine with being in hibernation mode. I do miss going on walks with Todd and Biscuit in the park and going into the city to aimlessly walk around, but I suppose those days arent too too far off. Besides, I cant complain too much- I get to escape to the Bahamas for a week in a little over a month. Dad and Kathys wedding celebration with the kids is fast approaching, and soon I will be chillin on a private rented boat (which will be our living quarters for the week!) that will charter us to different islands where I get to snorkel, hike, and swim in crystal clear waters. Yes, thats me bragging. The only thing that would make the trip better was if Todd was going. Major bummer because when I experience fun and interesting things, I like Todd to be with me to experience them as well.


So after painting our living room 3 times, we finally have the perfect colored wall. First we painted the walls a green color, which immediately made us feel stressed out and sick to look at. Then we painted them a tan color, which ended up looking horrible and midwestern and had us hating it so much that we went back to the paint store (and repainted) in the same day. We decided to just paint an accent wall with a chocolately brown that we had in the basement (and know we love), and paint the other wall back to its original cream color. All the money spent on paint, and we ended up using a color we already had. OF COURSE. Looks super nice though, I feel like with every little thing we do with our place it becomes more and more comfortable which explains I love spending so much time at home.

Inauguration is tomorrow. Out with the old and idiotic, in with the new and refreshing. Its about time.

winter is awwwfffuuulllll. Why don't I live in California?

When you're in the Bahamas, I will be jealous-though I'd probably throw up non-stop on a boat.

It's true the winter time can stink, but 2 days ago it was 50 degrees below zero in Wisconsin. Be glad you don't live there! Screw that!
Have fun in the Bahamas! Get a sweet tan!
