enJOY it

It has been a really rough month for me so far. The absence of Paul plus the excess of snow equals terrible. I'm angry about it. Not even sad. Just mad.

But things are looking up starting Wednesday (I can't say from today because 4-8" more of snow are expected) and soon this first part of February will be just a bad memory. And there have been a few highlights of the past two weeks :

  • gold hearts : I bought a fun ring from here (it's a flash website so I can't share exactly which one) but the prices are fantastic and the quality is good.
  • Olympic magic
  • spring clothing in stores : it's sort of sad to see pretty clothing you can't wear yet but it's also a happy reminder that warm weather is on the way. I bought this the other day to celebrate.
  • wedding accessories : I hope this is fantastic in person for me and we like these ties (in orange) for the groomsmen.

So… That's good stuff. Hopefully the next two weeks of this month with be amazing.

    Elise,
    I LOVE the orange tie! I’ve been following your blog for months now. I never would have put the colors gray and orange together in my head until I saw them coming together for your wedding. I can’t wait to see what everything looks like when it’s all said and done! 🙂 I’m sure it will be beautiful.
    Keep your chin up during these blustery months!

    Chole reviewed that handbag over at her blog…if you’re looking for a review. I’ve heard it’s lovely but a bit on the tiny side.

    Maybe we should get together. That would be fun. And babies are always something to make you smile. Do you and Steph want to come over one day? I am treating Chinese New Year like a new year. 2010 hasn’t been that great so far.

    Oh Elise. I’m from Iowa and I’m feelin’ your pain. Snow, snow, more snow and then snow. If it isn’t falling, its blowing and drifting. Whew. Annoying. But way to look at the bright side and retail therapy never hurts either! Ha!

    Hang in there, lady. I suggest lattes + TV. Although, to be fair, lattes + TV is pretty much my solution for everything, including dishpan hands and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
