February 14, 2012 was a pretty good day. Colin just returned from a long back country ski trip. He came back looking like a mountain man - tan and scruffly.
For a Valentine's day date, we grabbed Vietnamese tofu sandwiches for lunch.
I wore a cute summer outfit because it was beautifully sunny when I left the house. But then the snow came pounding in like an unwelcome guest. Booooo!
I had to stop at Costco because we really needed groceries. Do we see a theme here? Yes, I'm the girl who dresses for summer, secretly hoping that it will change the weather somehow.
The checker told me she was coming to the show. I love it when people tell me that. Especially strangers. Then Heather called me and told me it was 81 degrees in California. I told her to zip it.
I tell you, the older I get, the harder winter's gray gets for me. I think that's another reason exercise is so important. It makes these gray days so much better.
Oh! Look what arrived! A cute little package from Katelyn. She sent me some of her images from the show last year. I love the spirit and joy that comes through in her images. And hey, how did she know that I'm going through a heart phase? I'm a sucker for a cute package!
Katelyn is also a member of the My Favorite Find focus group!
On my way home, I decided to spring the boys from school a little early. That always earns me big mom points.
For dinner we had a big pot of spaghetti and cupcakes for dessert. More mom points! Yippee!
February 14th, 2012. It was a great day.
Oh Serena, as a 'transplanted SO.CAL Gal',, it is a killer for me to not be able to wear my peep-toed shoes until June... lol!
I have been known to schlep around the house in them in the dead of Winter just because I can !lol!
Just 90+/- days until the Farm Chic show and camping down at Riverside State Park.
Happy Trails.

Oh how I want a snow day here! Miss the white fluffy stuff. All we get is rain, rain, rain...and more rain.

I'm one of those California girls that was enjoying sunny day- but turned cold today.
Love your idea of changing the weather by the clothes we wear....now that would be awesome....but at least if we can't change the weather around us...by wearing something fun...we change the weather inside us.
Happy Day
