Yes those are negative signs in front of those numbers. I took our dog out for her walk this morning and when I came in my entire body literally hurt from the cold. Here is what it looks like on our block.

And this is Zoe. We love her very much. She loves the snow and has no idea how cold it is for me out there.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to spend the large majority of my day curled up on the couch with some of this.

If you have never tried Williams-Sonoma peppermint hot chocolate you are missing out. Last year I literally went to the store the day this stuff was out on the shelves to pick myself up some for winter. Top it off with one or two of their vanilla marshmallows and it is a real treat, especially on a day like this.

Hope you have something to keep you warm today!

It's Here!

The second issue of Lonny has arrived. I never got to post on the first issue, although I spent hours upon hours scouring through it. Time just seems to be flying by me. By the time I had truly gotten through it all I felt like it was old news. I've been checking back pretty frequently recently and thinking to myself - the next issue has to be coming soon. I could not wait - and now it's here!

I'll most likely be spending a large majority of today devouring this issue and catching up on the last few days I've missed in my google reader. I had a few posts planned for today since my posts have been lacking in frequency. I don't know how so many people do this daily - it's a lot of work - I give you lots of credit! I wish I had more time for this because I love doing it! Hopefully I'll be back tomorrow with my favorites from Lonny. Until then -

Enjoy!
