haircuts! i have bangs!

oh. my. goodness!

i've been seriously debating sweep bangs for a couple months. i broke down and made the appointment last week for today. super fun







i got home and mitch decided it was time for a haircut for him too. he got out his razor and started shaving it all off. it always shocks me when he decides to do that. i got to help this time though and finnish it.






superbowl. what a dissapointment.

okay so i just have to say: go seahawks! they made it way farther than anybody thought was possible and broke down barriers. HOWEVER - i had not disillusioned myself into thinking they actually had a chance at making it to the superbowl. i was rooting for it to be the Bears vs Jets. i felt good about rooting for either team. but no.

stealers vs packers

lousy. absolutely lousy. the stealers are my least favorite team in the NFL. and packers? i have no feelings about the packers bad or good. so when the jets and bears both fell out of the running - i was having serious regrets about making superbowl plans so early on... to new jersey - to watch a game i didn't care about... thank god for good company.



we watched it with a couple of die hard packer fans (via Milwaukee)



















Happy New Years! (way way belated)


we spent new year's in south slope watching dick clarks new years live in times square.



i got all dressed up. something sparkly and my grandma's fur coat. it was fun to walk through the neighborhood and watch all the people heading to parties and to the train. some people were WAY dressed up and having a tough time with the snow. it was a fun night though. we drank champagne and i kissed my husband at midnight.

winter wonderland in the slope

walking in a winterland!

that's what i did yesterday... except i didn't make a snowman - i just did laundry and stuff.

this is the veiw from our front door {well not our front door door - but the door to the outside of the building - this is what we see when we step outside}



and this is what we see if we look right... super pretty right



this is looking at our block from the other corner



our building. from across the street - SO MUCH SNOW!



7th ave was pretty well plowed - some of the sidestreets however {like all of them} were not. it was so cool because there were groups of people walking around with snow shovels and guarding streets - helping people dig their cars out and young men helping little old ladies cross the street. store keepers are all out shoveling the side walk and EVERYBODY's out - it's like a party - kids sleding down the street and resourceful shoppers using sleds to transport their groceries. people letting people pass and saying "excuse me" and "thank you" and everybody is being neighborly... I LOVE IT!!!





me in front of the laundry mat





it was cold but the wind was the worst! it hits your face and in some of the pictures it looks like it's snowing... but it's not it snowed ALL DAY sunday... but not at all yesterday - just fluries



we got icicles on our kitchen window. so exciting! i heart icicles



i got snow boots yesterday. REAL snow boots - not just ones that are cute but not really functional in NY snow {mitch is so proud} they are so nice. and though they are ugly... i think they are kinda cute too. but more than that they are waterproof and warm and have AMAZING traction! i love them


see: they have this super smart technology in the grips - when the temp drops the rubber grips freeze so you get better traction. cool huh
