snow day (night)!!!

today, around 2 p.m., it started snowing like hell. shows were half canceled, and beautifully half assed new plans were made. clark park - epicenter of our neighborhood, whether we like it or not - was blown up with sled-loving kids from 9 p.m. til at least now, when i dragged my soggy ass home (1:40 a.m.). i exposed my digital camera to the elements for only a few precious seconds, but it gives you idea enough...right? for the full effect, imagine snow down your pants, whiskey in your flask, cute dogs barking, everyone cheering, barely a "real" sled in sight (most were facing the hill on slicked up pieces of cardboard, broken drum cymbals, trash can lids and cafeteria lunch trays), and you get the idea...




i love living here.

love,

Cuddl-Duds: Feel Good

With the low of 9 (feels like 0) and the high of 16 degrees yesterday, it's not hard to see why everyone is talking about the weather. Also, is it too late to talk about Christmas presents? They're still relevant to me, so I don't see why it would be.

Basically, I've been surviving the last blustery week with the aid and assistance of my Cuddl-Duds. I was introduced to this product in Christmas '07 when Momma K gave me a long sleeved shirt made from woven bamboo fiber. I used it at yoga a few times and that was that. This Christmas, I asked for a pair of long underwear and Em and I both received long sleeved v-neck shirts (with a cute bamboo print up the left side) and long underwear type pants. These garments are by far the softest things I own. Made of 83% rayon from bamboo, 12% nylon and 5% spandex, they are the perfect combination of fit, form and function. I would wear these out all the time, except people might think I'm from the future or something.

Top (or bottom) it off with some super soft booties/socks that Grandma gave me and I've pretty much been living in this outfit:



Screw you, East Coast winter!!!
