What do you do with 12.5" of snow...in Dallas?!

Well, you go play in it before it all melts!

Then, you stay inside and cook for a few weeks and eat cookie dough and pretend you're snowed in for the rest of the winter! (kind of like the rest of my relatives in Wisconsin, D.C., NY and Philly - who are all trapped in the real Snowmageddon). You can see my new Hunter boots came in handy (can you believe I went with high-gloss Graphite after all that Pea Green talk?! My practical side got the best of me)... next up: a cute sweater for Dixie, if the weather keeps up. 

Admittedly, it has not been snowing for the last few weeks, and yours truly has been relishing a little break from organized activity. Well, that and our internet connectivity has been just painfully s-l-o-w making blogging simply unbearable. In the meantime, I've charted my own course by joining a gym - for mental sanity and also to prepare for a big vacay to the Exumas next month - at which I became quickly obsessed with Pilates (just ask StefSam - she was there for my first-ever Pilates lesson, which we both loved), whipped up a few fun new recipes, visited my alma mater with my Valentine...

...and most importantly, became (somewhat) reacquainted with one of my favorite hobbies: keeping my house really clean! Yes... I got out my Magic Erasers again. 

 

Okay, okay, so I'll stop avoiding the slowness that is my computer... keep your fingers crossed I can muster up some patience while working out these technical difficulties ;)

Best Foot Forward

I decided it was time to be a big girl and get some weather appropriate footwear.

For rainy days:

 For chilly days:

You know, I have not always been a fan of the Ugg (I have noticed that a few others are also coming around to the Ugg side). In fact, at one time, I would have considered myself a strict anti-Ugger. I don't know exactly what it was, but one day it just hit me - man would I be warm if my feet were in some Uggs instead of these silly ballet flats when its 19 degrees outside!

Tired of my constantly frozen feet, I went ahead and snatched up this pair on sale (!) during Last Call clearance. Ahhh, I love a good sale. But more importantly, I can't wait to be warm and toasty when FedEx delivers my sanity at the end of the week. Hopefully Dallas winter won't be over by then :)

Future Uggs to purchases (hopefully) include, but are not limited to:

As for the Hunters, it looks like I'll have to fork over the full price, so I'm still deciding which color to pick....

Kind of loving the high-gloss pea green :)
