Day 310's boots are made for walking

I've been busy recently, partly, because I'm going to Iceland for work! I'm very excited to go, but have a bunch of stuff to do before leaving. Including buying some cold-weather appropriate clothes, namely shoes. I found these bad boys at DSW. Supposedly they are meant for cold damp weather - perfect. They are super warm. I can't wait to model them on my trip!

Day 283 is spacey

I got home from work later than expected tonight. After eating a delicious sandwich, I decided to go to the gym. Despite fighting an oncoming cold, it felt good to work out! I parked under this light and thought it looked a little spaceship-y from my car. Maybe it's the cold meds working?

Day 257 tries to stay warm

A cold front done busted on through the midwest you guys! Brrr. Boots and sweaters and my pajama fleece have been my wardrobe and I'm shockingly not mad about it. All good things must come to an end, right? As long as that starbucks across the street is still serving me those yummy chai teas, I'm more than ready for Fall. Bring it.

Day 248 got coooold.

I got a little blindsided by the cold that blew in to Chicago today. Certainly not uncomfortable, but just this past week we were suffering through 94 and it suddenly being 30ºs cooler threw me off a bit. I scrambled to find some jeans and a hoodie as I lamented the end of summer really happening!

Day 110 takes the long way home

Oh hey, friends. Have I mentioned yet how tired I (still) am? Cause it's true. I saw a fun show tonight at the 5th Ave theater and my post-theater high was quickly killed by the treacherous commute I had home. The commute is actually easy, it's the fact that buses/trains come about 3 times an hour that makes it a pain in the ass. Plus it was about 36º tonight (wtf Seattle). A temperature I was certainly not properly dressed for. All these things together = cranky and tired me. wah wah! Okay, I'm done complaining now. Just had to get that off my chest. :)

Day 60 looks like Spring

It's Spring! Okay not yet, but it's apparently warm enough for these brave little crocuses to peek out. Hopefully the cold weather won't kill them. I don't want to take any crocus carcass pictures.

Day 25 is for the birds

The Delaware River frequently freezes during cold snowy winters, much like this one. While driving over the Calhoun St. Bridge this afternoon (No fear, I was a passenger!) I saw a ton of birds chilling, literally. Brrr, I get cold just looking at this! Hopefully they're at least finding some good grub on the water.

Day 6 stays Lighter Later

Whew, it’s been a long week! I’m very excited that it’s almost the weekend (despite the impending snow tomorrow...). And I’m even more excited that the days are getting longer! This snapshot of cold winter trees is from 5pm. 5PM! Pretty soon it will be time for tank tops and ice cream. In the meantime stay warm friends!
