I awoke this morning to sleet and slush (which soon turned to snow) and freezing cold temperatures. The weather was supposed to be pretty nasty until 6 this evening so I left work early to avoid unsafe driving conditions. Naturally the weather cleared about 2 hours after I got home. Now the sun’s out. Isn’t that always the way? Sometimes it is hard to know what the best decision is, but that’s why hindsight is 20/20. C’est la vie! So, with snow and all it entails in mind, I give you:
Things I Love Thursday:
the snow day edition
Midnight in Amsterdam by Arlette
* Snow. I really do love the beauty of it. It transforms the landscape into an alien, minimalist dreamscape. * Making the decision to rise above circumstances and maintain positivity…even when it’s difficult. * Driving our new Mini Cooper, Alice Tinker (named after the loopy verger in the BBC comedy series The Vicar of Dibley…which my honey and I LOVE!). She handles like a dream! Now we just need to track down an owner’s manual. * Getting my first assignment from All Things Girl! I’m excited and nervous and excited and nervous. But while I’m on the subject: If you’re 1) a woman and 2) an artist who’s interested in submitting your work, we’re currently accepting submissions for our March/April issue. You can get all the details here. * Jumping at new opportunities. * Feeling stronger in my gifts and skills. * Snuggling up to stay warm in this c-c-c-cold weather. BRRRRRR! * Season 1 of Bored to Death…good God I adore Zach Galifianakis. I had the pleasure of meeting him in Houston. He told me I smelled like his ex-girlfriend…who smelled like whale fat. (I was actually wearing this insanely yummy and now discontinued perfume by Urban Decay called Sin…but yeah, sure…whale blubber…) Whales must smell crazy-good then! * As always, my family, my family and my family. I love them so much I sometimes think my heart will burst. *
So what are you head over heals for this week? Feel free to share your gratitude in the comments section below.
Kisses and Chaos,
