It's been a while...

It's winter.

There's snow.

Lots of it.

Winter just seems...

To pass...

There isn't a whole lot of excitement during the winter.

It's a time of settling in...focusing on school, work, just...

Getting though.

I do have a winter birthday.

I celebrated my __x__ birthday on February 6th.

Yes, that's right...we don't tell our age anymore.

The hubs and I say that we are forever 30.

(Shhh, no one needs to know how many times we've celebrated our 30th birthday.)

I got the cutest pair of mittens for my birthday.

I had been wanting some for a long time.

Many people make these.

And my neighbor happens to be one.

Aren't they pretty?

They are wool and cashmere.

She upcycles them from old sweaters.

I love the little rosette on the side.

It has a little crystal in the center.

Very feminine and girly.

They are super cute and super warm!

I am in love!

We ordered my favorite pizza that night for my birthday and got ice cream.

It was a cold wintery night...so it was nice to spend it at home with my family watching American Idol.

I'm very much a "home body"...I love being home.

 

 

Other than all of the snow...and my birthday...

Winter is pretty quiet around here.

But I figured it had been a while so thought I'd better get a blog post out to let everyone know I'm still kickin'!

I found a great sale on nail polish today...and anyone who knows me, knows I LOVE NAIL POLISH!  I totally could have bought every color on the rack...but I restrained myself and only bought seven.

I went with a pretty spring pallette and then some bold glittery shades.

Nail polish makes me happy.

Almost as happy as cookie cutters!

Haha.

And what's a blog post without a picture of Oreo?

I love my kitty-boy.

I can't believe he'll be 8 years old this summer.

He is such a part of our family.

I love him so .

He's my baby.

Well...guess I shall sign off for now.

Just figured I'd pop in and say hi...

"Hi"...hehe!

Hope you are staying warm and toasty this winter!

Stay snug!
