SNoW dAY!


I got home last night from my work party with the idea that 2 feet of snow was coming...this is what it looked like at 12am prior to the blizzard...
Then the blizzard at midday..and on and on until the next morning.





snow plowers did their business, and this is the result:
Poor Gina had to get shoveled out so she could assist me with shopping on my only day off.
kids were sledding, driving was so so slow, gina was helpful with her sweet vehicle assist driving for stops and slides. All in all it snowed and snowed and still is snowing.... Awesome!
At 1pm...
The next day:


parked Gina at 1pm
and she looked like this the next morning:

The left overs after it was all said and done:

New York and the Baltimorians...

We took a venture north to New York to see the Nutcracker at the Lincoln Center Ballet. Gorgeous! My first viewing of the nutcracker and I was amazed by the music! Loved it!



My favorite Sweet spot to hit up every time I visit Scott H & Peter S. In New York: DYLANS!


Our Sweet HOST Charity...IF only my apt was as WARM as hers...I think I'd be in heaven!
Max Brenners on 14th...never a dull moment when chocolate and strawberries are combined!
Snappy snap at Grand Central Station
Shannon and my sweet new finds in Chinatown
The group marches on in SoHo
Hoodies with fur...& of course, chinatown

Subway fun
Rockefeller Center....Oh my gosh, note to self: NEVER go with all the tourists..or try not to be the tourist...wow, it was packed!
The Rockefeller Tree
"BIG SALE ... BIG SALE" or so he said and lured us in with his tactics....
Chinatown find, Kristen looks sassy!
Waiting for the subway at spring st.
One of my favorite places in ny, and I snapped a pic of it. Grand central subway station..the chaos is awesome!

Saks 5th Ave, you amaze me. I was in complete Awe as this Snow Flake display blinked and flashed along with "Carol of the Bells" ...It was so amazing. A MUST SEE!

Boston...here I am...

So, another whirlwind trip to Boston to see Devin. This time, it was boston commons tree lighting, apt hunting, wedding band searching, and just plain enjoying our minimal time together (for now). Boston was so gracious to bless me with 64 degree weather and make the move just that much more exciting. Thank You Mr Sun and Mother Earth for keeping me warm.

check it out, macy's downtown boston (it sort of looks like devin has a bright earring, no?)
Near Mr. Jay's ....the ring man!
