don't forget your snow boots!!

wow! what a day.
I did not expect to wake up to 19 inches of snow this morning!!

it had been flurrying all week and i was ready

for it to just dump already and dump it did!

i took my time getting to work today because i just had to grab a couple pictures.

i even dragged the hubs outside after work so we could romp around. 

and you thought YOU were having a bad day...

a laugh to remember.

As the excitement of the Golden Globes is starting to fade – Anne Hathaway's stunning Armani dress, Helena Bonham Carter's stunningly hideous dress, Ricky Gervais's boorish humor –  there is one thing that I have not, nor will not get over for a long long time.

roadtrip to harlem.

you often hear people getting stir crazy with island fever. well, i too happen to contract this illness every now and then while living on the crazy island of manhattan. so when i had the opportunity to purchase a zipcar membership last week, i jumped at the chance. instantly, i felt a surge of freedom overcome my mind as i thought of all the exotic places i could travel to in my new set of wheels - coscto, ikea, and jersey, to name a few. yesterday, hubs and i hopped into our new car, akuna, and took off to my top destination - TARGET. i kind of go crazy when i think about this place. i love it so much! in my first 3 months of my marriage, i visited target every. single. weekday. {and most weekends too for that matter}

flat stanley.

please meet our friend stanley, flat stanley.

we loved having him dearly, 

but unfortunately he was just here on vacation.

boxing with the hubs.

ever since todd took his first boxing class {see here}, he's been obsessed. 

and i mean obsessed!

this boy eats, sleeps, and thinks boxing 24-7.

whenever he has free time, he's watching old fights or instructional videos.

i'm fearful that one of these days he's going to put down the wall street journal and look for a job in the ring. 

{don't get me wrong, i'm all for dreams, but i sure hope this isn't one he's dreaming of achieving...}

instead of continuing to pay for a pricey monthly membership, he's dubbed me as his new coach. 

so every night, i wrap up his hands, we put on our mitts and we train.

i even have a cool pair of training mitts.

it's fun to see him get so excited about something

{and even more fun watching my arms get ripped}

sun, snow, and other ramblings.

please send me back to arizona!!

i miss the warm weather far too much.

and i'm so not in love with this cold front {aka winter}. 

 i hear it's supposed to snow again,

but as much as a pretend i love the snow, i really don't!

it gets slushy too quickly and then i'm stuck wearing 

snow boots for the next 3 months—not my finest look.

to combat these winter blues, i'm planning my getaway trip with hubs this summer!

we've got 100K miles but nowhere to go just yet.

i'm thinking a road trip through italy, but i'm definitely open to suggestions...

where should we go?

i love my job!

every year, charmin has a really fun event up in times square

 that lasts the full holiday season.

this year, kim kardashian opened the event 

and jane lynch closed it.

it's so fun to be around the celebs and see how they act in real life situations. 

let me just say that jane lynch is a champ, 

{and totally awesome and totally tall!}

i am so grateful to have such a fun job and experience these sorts of neat things. 

cha cha cha charmin!

finally able to play in central park.

having been in arizona for christmas, 

i was excited to get back to the city to see all the snow!

since i didn't have to work this week, the first thing i did 

was head to central park to play!

even after sitting for 3 days, i can't believe 

how deep the snow was.

so fun!
