View from the Back Room

So we are having some....lovely....weather here in NJ. Basically the weather people have NO idea what they are talking about. I woke up this morning to a winter wonderland, although before I went to bed the weather people where saying rain in the AM. Anywho, one thing I have always liked about my house is when it snows and the view in the backyard. Living in suburbia, you would never think about finding "tranquility" in your 60 by 30 back yard. However, in the 5 years I lived here, I have always been struck with how pretty and peaceful the view of my backyard looks to me when it snows. I dont know why, but I love it. I live in my grandmother's house and on days like this I can see why she stayed in this cottage for 54 years. Despite living in a post-war cookie cutter subdivision in a run-of-the mill Cape Cod, my house always seems more homey and cozy and welcoming when it snows. Enjoy my view!

Brrrrrrrrrr

Was trying to be "optimistic" this morning about this chilly stretch....but its fucking cold! This is Jersey for christsake!

How cute does my sister-in-law look in pigtails? I snapped this shot in Disney on marathon day and never got around to posting it....she has a similar problem where she is always the picture taker but is never IN any pictures....so i am going to make sure i try to take more pictures of her :)

Disneu Recap: Part Two

This is my BFF Kiki (Courtney) and my brother Kevin. How cute do they look in Sombraros (spelling?). I think pretty much every family that goe sto EPCOT has this picture or some form of this picture in their photo repetoire :)

Disney Recap: Part ONE

Since I did not contribute with my daily picture while away, I need to make up for lost time! This is what greeted me on my bed when I arrived---Cute right? We also had a pair of swans made out of washclothes that greeted us on our sink. This is what I love about Disney - the stupid small things like this! And after our 18 hour trek, it was a nice welcome sign!

Sorry for the sabbatical

So I went to Florida and took a bit of a break b/c I get REALLY crappy cellphone service for a mobile upload (plus its a pain in the ass to write a blog using a mobile keyboard) and the Internet in Disney is less-then-desirable ( I actually think they do that on purpose). Anywho, I plan on uploading some of the Disney pictures later on in the week to "makeup" for my lost posts:

In the mean time, it is time for me to torture you with pictures of my cute dogs!!! WAHOO!!!

I took this picture last night b.c. the puppies just looked so adorable and cozy....The camera couldnt capture their ultimate cuteness!

long day in the happiest place on earth

Its been a long day with minimal sleep but managed to go to the Magic Kingdom and Downtown Disney! Marco, Kevin, and Kiki are at EPCOT, believe it or not! Angie and I came back to crash and now im in bed relaxing after using my rooms hot tub! This is the life!
