Like Hitting the Lottery!

The chances of one snow day a year are pretty slim to none, but the chances of TWO?!? Well that's unheard of! But with the weather such a hot mess, my office was forced to close once again! Ahhh mama likes! Billy, Brad and I are going to try and get some saucy photos for our "Save the Dates". Afterwards I plan on stirring up some more hot chocolate, draping myself in a brand new pair of VS Boyfriend Sweats (theres nothing like a brand new pair of sweats), grabbing my warmest over sized blanket and watching some old Gossip Girl DVDs with the pooch while Billy finishes up some work! Let it snow ... Let it snow ... Let is snow!

Green with Envy!

With Valentine's Day come and gone, it's time to move on to more of a, I don't want to say "real", but I will, real Holiday: St. Patrick's Day!! I was eager to pop into the candy store and purchase all sorts of green candy! My mom, still on her Lindt Chocolate kick, was kind enough to get me Mint Chocolate balls and Milk Chocolate bricks in green wrapping. I then shot up to Dyan's Candy Bar and 23 bones later I had enough candy to fill half the jars ... womp, womp, womp. I still think the display looks dead sexy on my counter top and the Green Apple Gummy O's are so delightful I doubt they'll make it to March, let alone St. Patrick's Day! I did some surfing of the web and came across this fabulous site that has colored candies for every occasion! Done and Done!

Richard Simmon's: EAT YOUR HEART OUT!!

When my mom called and asked me to go to the gym with her, I have to admit, I was a little disappointed that I wasn't going to be able to make it. But when they say God works in mysterious ways, they really mean it!! After my mom banged out a sweet gym sesh, she decided to stop by my house. My immediate reaction was "where the eff are her pants?!?" After finding out that this was her gym attire, I knew that the Big JC had my back. Never again will I make plans to meet CMac at the gym!

So, mi madre recently took a major interest in Lindt Chocolate and their sale and somehow became besties with a woman that works at the store. As a result: Chocolate for ALL!! My mom made up these totally fetch lil baskets of pure goodness for my sister and I ... needless to say we did NOT need them! These fabulous little Valentine's Day ball are like droplets of Heaven. I do recommend trying them and rocking your world.

Valentine's Day ... GROSS!! Not a day that I choose to partake in; however, those that know me, know, that I am not one to pass up on an opportunity to receive gifts! Never would I celebrate with a cheesy dinner or any mushy garbage. Instead, my lova got me a neon green pair of Air Max 2009 and told me to hit the gym! XoXo

For those of you that didn't know, in addition to traveling back to 1999 and starting a blog, 2010 encouraged me to turn over a new, nutritious, leaf and become quite the health nut. With 1 month down and 8lbs shed, I like to think things have been going ok. I don't know why, but my new gym clothes are totally motivating me to hit the gym on the reg (and that sweet little reimbursement I get if I hit the minimum requirements). This could be because my old gym clothes consisted of cut off sweat pants and an XL t- shirt that was most likely a free bee from a basketball tourney I participated in when I was like 12, causing me to look as cool as Robyn in the gym episode of How I Met Your Mother. Either way, I've been doing the damn thing! At this point in time I am head over heels in love with the NIKE Air Max 2009 and although its 2010 they continue to come out with new styles and fetch colors that I can not get enough of! I received a pair back in July for my birthday and I have to say that they are probably the most comfortable work out shoe I have ever had. I am currently loving the neon green and the hot pink shoes and am contemplating purchasing both on a whim!

SICK DAY!!

So, I woke up this morning and to my dismay, my back was aching from all of the snow shoveling. I decided to take a sick day and enjoy a lil R&R. It also gave me the opportunity to finally frame a painting my good pal, Rob Hotte, did for me!

AIIIIICCCCHHHEEEE Mama!!

It's been snowing for hours and the hot coco has been a flowing! Whipped cream shots were had by all and frolics in the 10 or so inches were loads of fun. After some serious QT with mom and my pooch, I was excited for a hot bath and an evening by the fire!

2.9.10

It's Official: TOMORROW IS A SNOW DAY!!! And in honoring that snow day, which was decided before a flurry even fell, my mom and I decided to hit up Roosevelt Field Mall. Ahhhh the simple joys ...

I first hit up American Eagle to exchange a pair of jeans my sister had gotten me for Christmas. One skirt, a pair of shorts, a necklace top and a pair of jeans later I was off to the next store, and the next store and the next store. I picked up an amazing Bare Minerals Bronzer, warmth, and a new Clinque face cream with an SPF of 25. Gotta do what ya gotta do to protect that skin. After picking up a few more items and scoping out MAC cosmetics new Spring 2010 line, I came across a fabulous North Face Parka Jacket at Nordstrom's. Not only was it the perfect size and color, it was on the clearance rack! I am happy to say, "I scooped that baby up!"
