Six More Weeks Of Pleather Pants


Staring at the picture above makes me want four things:
1. For it to snow for the next two days. (Snowed in!!!!)
2. For all of the snow plow trucks to break down by midnight tonight, and all of the car mechanics of America happen to have broken their arms.
3. For all of the salt and sand to vanish from the salt/sand trucks in the middle of the night .
4. Summer.

That picture just screams, "it's way too sunny, give me my wayfarer sunglasses ... no, the res and black Ray Bans.", "thank God I wore my white linen summer dress and gladiator sandals to the park today, it's way too hot for skinny jeans.", and "it's Sunday Funday!!!! Wanna hang at the park, lay in the grass, jam to some music, and blow some bubbles?"

No thanks to the groundhog who gained us six more weeks of winter, are in for a cold, dark surprise. Something tells me this is going to be a rough cold six weeks. Brutal. So let's make the best of it. In the mean time, we'll party indoors, we'll continue to see good bands play live, and we'll go to New York when it's way too cold, just because we're dying to see what new vintage stuff Sweet Tater got in this week.

On the bright side, now I have an excuse to continue rocking my pleather pants with leather boots for another six weeks. SIX WEEKS! Get used to it if you haven't already.

Maybe this groundhog seeing his shadow thing isn't such a bad thing after all. I mean, in reality he really just helped me extend my wardrobe to the fullest extent.

Rock on, goundhooooooog.

Snow Day, Shmo Day

I hit the browser icon on my Blackberry ... www.weather.com. Hourly forecast says that it's supposed to snow for the next two days straight. I glance out the triple double doors at work ... nothing is happening. Of course, it was snowing by my house. But God forbid mother nature gives you a solid reason to get out of work early. Give me a snow storm, and give it to me now.

Well I got what I wanted. The snow storm is still going strong. AND I managed to get sent home from work two hours early. SCORE!!!!!

I get home from work cuddle up on the couch with my favorite super soft blanket and my mac book enjoying the two hours of snow day that I so luckily received. Hey I'll take it.

I have a 14 1/2 year old Dalmatian named Moe Dog. In three years I have never seen him run. I took him for a little snow walk earlier, and like magic, he was trotting through the snow. I have a snow dog. Seriously, the cutest thing I have ever seen. What is NOT cute, is that I managed to somehow get tangled in between a bush and a small tree. Resulting in a rather large pile of snow sneaking down the back of my pants.
Did I mention that we are in the middle of a snow storm?

I expect to wake up at 6am snowed in. Not so that I can have the day off or anything, I just want to be able to watch my snow dog run around all day ... minus the snow in my butt.

Snow suit, anyone?
