VALENTINES DAY

WHEN MY TIME COMES

Huge sing-a-long awesome-good-time-party at Bowery Ballroom last Friday night, thanks to the Dawes and they're amazing performance.

You know life is good when the intro to "When My Time Comes" kicks in, you look around, put your arms around your favorite people, and sing at the top of your lungs.

ONE YEAR AT VOGUE

today is my one year anniversary at Vogue.

yeah, i'm just as shocked as you.

CANDLES IN THE EARS

chris had water in his ear, so we gave ear candling a shot.

i don't think it really did anything, but chris looked ridiculous,

so that was fun.

fyi, a drop of mixed vinegar and alcohol in the ear did the trick.

LOVE IN A BOX

my mom sent a valentines day box with some awesome goodies.

a whole pile of Mac and Cheese (she knows me well), cupcakes, cookie cutters, fun socks, and the usual box of triscuits were just a few of the presents.

Seeing this handwriting show up on my doorstep never gets old.

HARDEST MONDAY IN A WHILE

i did not want to leave the house this morning.

good thing i brought cookies.

WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING, WE WERE ROLLING THREES

A WINTER HAT FOR ME

i never make things for myself.

i love being crafty, and giving things away.

this hat's nothing super special, but its finished now and just what i wanted.

its an every day situation.

chris is a good sport and modeled the half-made version
