April...Just A Few Things On My List

Pin It now! I've been eyeing a few things lately and thought it would be a great idea to start a monthly wish list so I can keep track of all the things I want to probably shouldn't buy.  Plus, as of yesterday, NY state smartened up again and gone back to implementing a sales tax exemption for clothing and footwear under $110, which doesn't help my wallet, but does wonders for my shopping addiction.  For April, it seems like it's all about Spring...bright colors, peplum, flats, flowers....

Rain Rain Go Away

Pin It now!

Does anyone remember what the sun looks like?  Or a warm spring day?  It's day four of the rainy weather and it's expected to continue to rain until the weekend.  Boo for the rain!  This weather puts such a damper on my mood.  I've been grumpy and sleepy all day.  All I want is to take a nap or watch a movie in my pj's.  Even though it doesn't feel like it, it's spring and in couple of weeks, the official start of summer, a time to be productive and outdoors! 

I have a few projects coming up: a wedding I'm planing at the Bronx Zoo, possibly a baking event in my building and finishing up the (first round of) home decorating of our apartment.  So this weather betters start cooperating and boost my motivation and get my lazy butt into gear.

Spring Days

Pin It now!

We're in the midst of spring and it's absolutely lovely.  Every day isn't warm and sunny, but I guess that's to be expected.  Tuesday was beautiful t-shirt weather; yesterday was pouring rain; today was sunny but chilly.  Ahh, the unpredictability of the season.  On the lovely days though, we've taken advantage of the sunshine and try to forget how long and miserable this winter was.  I love that the trees are blooming, the tulips are out, and everyone is in a better mood.  I've shed the thick winter rights and swapped them for my sandals (although today, being a little chillier than expected, I should have worn the boots).  I'm putting away the wool coat and thick sweaters this weekend and taking out all my summer clothes.  Doesn't the thought of warmer weather just make you happier?

Happy Groundhog's Day

Pin It now! This week's storm (yes, we've had at least once a week) has been dubbed the Groundhog's Day Ice-maggedon.  Be careful out there!  It's one sheet of ice.  Too bad I don't have ice skates - I could ice skate to work.  So if the Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow, it'll be 6 more weeks of spring.  If he doesn't see his shadow, spring is around the corner.  Hmm, you know what I'm hoping he does!  This winter is suffocating.  I feel like I'm trapped in one big igloo of ice and snow.  It's everywhere and it's depressing.
