There's Just So Much

Linking up with Shanna


- I almost put my iPad in the microwave this morning.  Have I ever mentioned that the mornings hate me?

- My husband and I are about to start season 3 of 'Breaking Bad'.   I LOVE that show...so addicting.  (that's kind of a pun right?)  And Aaron Paul is easy on the eyes (Jesse). 

- The Superbowl was my last day before I started changing.  Since then I have been eating better, working out, and lost 3 lbs.   Crazy but true.  

- Snow.  Again.  What is this Wisconsin?!  (yah it is) Thankfully my "work" (one night a week at a dance studio) was cancelled.  I'm so glad because it is a 45 minute drive each way and I HATE winter driving!  

- I'm sad the mail won't be coming on Saturdays anymore.  My husband calls me an old women because I sit and watch for the mailman.  Even though we never get anything good.

- I saw numerous posts on Superbowl commercials but no one mentioned my favorite.   By now we all know I am obsessed with Amy Poehler.   And her commercial was hilarious.  In my opinion.




Well I'm off.  Now that I don't work I don't have an excuse not to do anything around the house.   Boo.

Snow Snow Snow

So this post is about snow.  If you are from my neck of the woods you are going to think this is boring.  If not...you might say something like "this is beautiful" or "I wish i had some."  Well don't.  Don't let the glimmer deceive you.

The snow can be evil.  And cold.  And dangerous.  And cold.  

In  a perfect snow world you can go out in 25 degree weather (in Wisconsin we are not strangers with negative degree weather) and frolic in the snow, make snow angels, snowmen, then come inside and have hot chocolate by a roaring fire.

But here?  In the non-perfect snow world?  We are lucky if our street gets plowed in a day.  We spend half the day shoveling and snow blowing.  We drive on streets that don't have salt on it to prevent us from sliding all over the place.  (My town just had construction and because it is new there is no salt at a busy intersection...because it will deteriorate the roads quicker. What's a few lives, huh?)    

However...I will try to keep the dream alive in these photos.  And as much as snow makes me shake my fist at the heavens for the next 6 months...the first one is always pretty.  It makes you think that it is perfect...and it will call you back.  But it never does people...it never does.

Mason in all his winter gear.  He is so funny to watch in all of this...he walks like a marshmallow-robot! :)
