today

when i was diagnosed with hodgkin's lymphoma- i made a promise to myself that i would try to do at least ONE new thing everyday.

note: difficult to do when you're stranded home because of weather and chemo-feelings.
note 2: difficult to do when you used to be wonder woman in the home.

today was one of those days where i figured i'd tap back into my child-self and do some crafts. what better thing to pitter the minutes away doing than making stationery?

i am OBSESSED with stationery.  i honestly would never need to go to the store to pick up any, ever again. today, i thought it would be fun if i made my own designs. let's face it, i had a lot of the materials i needed available to me from years of accumulating cute stuff.

i think...this will continue. adding more to my list (:

please keep toasty this weekend!

snowy New Jersey

these are the pictures that LML sends me from NJ this morning!

notice the snow up to my Father-in-laws knees....

Pup couldn't be bothered to go out this morning. New York was snowy with some big fluffy flakes. Pup retreated to the living room and commenced assisting me in downsizing paper pile (more on that later)

Hope you're warm and toasty wherever you are :)

blizzard aftermath

this is what it looks like today! Sunday 12ish pm is when it began...

and my assistant has been hard at work ever since.

the street was cleaned today at 5am...

see what a douchebag bloomberg and his team are?

at least today has been uber-productive... right?

sigh.

love me,

the globetrotting gamine

isn't it ironic?

welcome to tuesday! it's a wonderful extended holiday weekend, isn't it?

except for all this snow.

at present, LML is outside trying to thaw out the car and wiggle it around a bit so he can attempt to go to work tomorrow.

our roads have not been cleaned.

public transportation won't be up and running until tomorrow.

very few trains are functioning.

the airports finally opened last night.

meanwhile...

cars and ambulances and buses who've tried to scoff at mother nature got a nice surprise by being stranded in the middle of various streets.

really?

hey, bloomberg? i know you're attempting to further mess up our educational system, but how about you unlodge the stick from your ass and send your employees out to clean?

or are you hanging out in martinique right about now?

you bastard.
