new'ness

so while im writing, im listening to the tv my dad is glued to. the soft, sweet conversation my mom and i are having. and i feel the coldness as it has once again, consumed my feet and hands. poor little things. they seem to be cold, always. in my defense, i do cover with cute socks and soft blankets.


well...we have found our new vehicle. it was love at first sight. well, after an long, intensive search. i should have it on saturday, if delivered on time.
i love a new vehicle. my last new vehicle was my altima, we bought new in '02.




im excited. about a new product!
a new something i found today, while scrolling through this months Glamour....
they are art pens, by sally hansen.
they are super cute.
they will be a spring, must have!

happy monday!


after our fun dinner friday night at stir-fry, our slumber party was wonderful. old picture. pizza. chick flicks. laughter into the wee hours. we decided that monthly indeed we will get together for a PJ party. its the close times with friends that we all need. im thankful for my super close group of girls....chris, becca, kris, lisa, kendra. i love you. =)

our year has started off fairly decent. the economy has been ruff, as we all know, which result in slow sales for the hubby. we've had a few car problems, the good ole' jeep is showing some age marks. sniff. sniff. i love that jeep. but its getting to the point that its not worth the money to continue making it "feel better". i think we've decided to start looking for a new one. ive sure enjoyed having no car payments for the last few months. but excited about a new vehicle. this is bitter sweet.

snow, new york, this & that

so, the snow is melting. gone. bye-bye. im sad. i loved it. i still have my fingers crossed for a blizzard, though. im not giving up hope. im positive. im positive that we will be snowed in for a week. living on kerosene heaters. food in garbage bags, packed out in the snow. cooking over the fire. playing games til dark. then living only by candle light and the reflection of the kerosene heater. aaah. come little snow...come!



so our girls trip has been set for september. NYC. ive wanted to go always. so much that at one time, some may remember, i wanted to move there. but, i decided that mountains and trees are priceless. and i wouldnt trade it in for the starbucks-bagels-street side flowers-taxi-tourist thing that once attracted me. aaah. downtown manhatan. see ya in 8 more months! i cannot wait!



the past week or so has been pretty slow. not many events, other than our little snow. mom came up today. we shopped. going out with some of the girls tonite, for dinner. then tomorrow, PJ party & chick flick night. how i havent been to one of those since, high school! let's see...what else. reconnected with several old friends on facebook in which im super happy about. my hubby wasnt as onry this week. [he he] & o, one of my bffs, the one that is expecting...her first dr. appt is today.



until next time...think snow; & lots of it!
