happy snow day!!!

gotta love march snow storms.

seriously ... how cute is my dog?

he's upset because he wants a drink of water but is scared to walk in the kitchen.

this is his, "please bring my water to me and i'll love you forever" look.

it's the little things ...

... a warm saturday.

... a cold, rainy sunday.

... homemade fruit smoothies.

... cleaning with the windows open.

... the snow finally melting.

... watching the terps on a friday night. even if we live in a place where no one knows what a terp is.

... watching my dog play with the neighborhood kids.

... burgers with blue cheese.

... a clean house.

... a full tank of gas.

... kona coffee.

... walking the dogs while wearing only a t-shirt.

... not working on tuesday.

... finding my wedding ring after "losing" it.

... nice people.

... how excited my dog gets when i let him come on car rides.

... certain people finally taking down their christmas decorations.

... daylight savings or spring forward. whatever you want to call it.

... bubble baths.

... soup cooking in the crock pot.

... the sound of rain running through our gutters. (yeah, i'm weird. but i love rain.)

... a glass of wine on a tuesday night. hey, sometimes it's too hard to wait until friday.

henry's famous.

ok, maybe famous is the wrong word.

i submitted a picture of him to Design to Inspire's Monday's pets on furniture series.

here's what his 1/8 of a blog post of fame looked like.

(screenshot from here)

... i cannot fold a fitted sheet. and i have no desire to learn how.

... i have no idea what "seasoning a pan" means.

... walking the dogs is my therapy.

... sometimes i want to drink a bottle of champagne just so i can keep the cork.

... i really, really hate scary movies.

... when charlie and i moved in together i was adamant about not having a tv in our bedroom. now i wish we had one.

... i hate running errands. except for target.

... i think the new iPad is the stupidest thing ever. isn't it just a giant iPod touch?

... i am insanely jealous of people who work from home.

... sales would be the worst career for me ever to work in. when i worked in a mexican restaurant i couldn't even sell guacamole to people. i lost every single sales contest that we had. every night i worked.

... i also dumped an entire bowl of bean soup on a customer once. they didn't leave me a tip.

... i generally make bad decisions when tequila is involved.

... i change my mind a lot.

... movies longer than 2 hours bore me. i usually end up leaving the theater.

... i hate china.

... i like to watch movies over and over. ditto with books i like.

... i can be really, really stubborn.

... i miss the beach. a lot.

it's officially spring in our bedroom.

so maybe we still need the down comforter, but at least it's yellow.

and i hung some more pictures.

i have about a billion and one pictures all over our place.

it's going to suck when we finally move.

may your coming year be filled with magic, dreams and good madness.
i hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful,
and don't forget to make some art.
write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can.
and i hope, somewhere in the next year,
you surprise yourself."
