Really!!!!!!

Y'all....I won't even try to go in to everything that's gone on the past two months.

Suffice it to say I've just been living my life and it's been busier than usual.

Then I got sick with bronchitis, 2 ear infections (one ear drum almost burst), etc. etc. was out of work and everything else for a week. Boo!

Have been working a lot.

But mostly?

Have been waiting for my grandson to get here!

He's due the 17th!!!!!!!!!!!

Hugs and kisses to you all!!!

Sunday night snow and the aftermath

I was sick with a stomach bug all day yesterday, so slept on and off most of the day. I'd taken Gracie out a few times....and while it was cold....and I knew it was supposed to snow, nothing was happening...some light accumulation, but that was about it.

I'd taken her out around 8:00 p.m. It was snowing lightly.

Then....

Around 10:30 I went to take her out one last time before calling it a night, and opened my front door to this:

My reaction when I saw this: "WHOA!!!"

chilly dog on the sidewalk

(I was a bad doggie mom: she should have had her jacket on!)

I knew she was really cold, so I took her back in the house, dried her off and then went back out to take more pictures ( whilst wearing a tank top, a long sleeved t-shirt, pajama pants and thick socks covered by a long GAP hoodie and my long hooded "Chicago" coat AND my Hunter "shortie" boots. Oh! and fingerless gloves. I'm sure I looked like a lunatic! haha!).

Big, fat flakes sorta hide

the large Methodist Church

on the corner

I took this from the sidewalk in front of the main house.

This is the corner intersection one house away.

I like this picture.

It's kinda moody.

Now for the "aftermath":

couch, fluffy blankets, cozy socks

...and hot tea in one of my favorite mugs!

Hope everybody is staying warm!!!

Everyone should......

Can it be?!?!?

Y'all?

Am I getting "soft" in my old age?

What is wrong with me?!?!?

I saw a woman today when I was at lunch.

She was attired in one of THE most atrocious ensembles I've ever seen in my life.

Seriously.

It was so bad that I took detailed notes on my Blackberry to do an entire post about it later.

Really.

That bad.

But then..... Gracie and I went to the dog park around 4 this afternoon.

And who should be there, but the lady I saw at lunch.

Still in the same outfit with the exception of now having pajama bottoms on with her strapless dress rather than jeans.

And y'all....

She was so NICE.

Genuinely nice and friendly and talkative.

Her giant white dog was nice and friendly too.

Based on those facts, I just can't be snarky.

*sigh*

So as to not make this post a total waste of time, let's look at a picture of my recently re-styled cubbies, shall we?

There.

That's better.

The view from here....*

*sub-titled: "Why not wait almost a month between posts?"

I hope everyone's New Year is off to a wonderful start!!!!

xoxo

I'm going to Chicago tomorrow

So you know what that means.....

lots of this:

Okay.....you're right....it's not going to be 2 degrees....I just found that image and used it.

However, the high during my visit there is going to be 27 degrees.

Twenty.

Seven.

Still I'm SUPER excited about the trip. I've never been before and y'all know I love a new adventure!

This is a Little Pissy/Big Pissy trip. We've never traveled so far just the two of us. I'm sure there will be stories to tell and pictures to share.

And layers and layers of clothing to be worn.

Whisper Blue

I've been searching for the perfect throw for my couch since.....probably....September.

Any of y'all who have followed and/or read my blog for any length of time know that I'm all about the cozy.

Anything cozy.

In home furnishings, in clothing.....really in general...as a way of life.

'Cuz we all know that cozy=comfy.....right?

So anyway....I'd been on what I thought was going to be an eternal quest for the perfect throw.

I came close to buying a throw at West Elm a month or so ago, but held off.

I even tried to talk Devon into giving me the one off her couch (hee hee!).

But then.....then.....I found one!

And right here at Heliotrope in downtown Decatur!!!!

Woo hoo!!!!

Gracie and I are snuggling under it right now while we enjoy a Vampire Diaries mini-marathon.

(image and descriptive paragraph re: image from BlissLiving Home)

(I didn't provide a link to their website.

However, on the off chance that anyone

goes to the site to look around, I did NOT

pay $100.00 for this throw.

Y'all know me better than that! )

The surface of our

Temi throw is covered in hundreds of tiny, playful pom-poms. More pom-poms are strung along the edges for a cozy softness you'll simply adore. Offered in warm ivory and whisper blue, to coordinate with our Icelandic Dream duvet.
