..you've got red on you..

I will go ahead and explain that I pretty much only ever wear red lipstick.  And, I only wear it when I have on something else that is red or at least something else really bright.  I am weird, I know, but I feel really odd if I know that my mouth is so noticable.  Besides, I am always making goofy faces.

Today, I embrace the red.  This sweater is so bright that only a large amount of silly face making will overpower it...

 BTW, this is my favorite winter hat this year.

And, yes that is a cute puppy on my sweater :)

..thou shalt not hibernate..

About a week and a half ago there was a big snow that wrapped most of the US in a blanket of snowy snowness.  So, I grabbed up my husband and my big fluffy coat, and went to explore the rescently resurfaced terrain.

 

Oh, and speaking of winter wonderlands, I posted about a polyvore contest that I had neglected to respond to two months ago.  I figured that they had just gone on without me, but I went ahead and replied anyway.  Apparently, they had not finished judging yet, and I won 3rd place!!!! Yay!

..olive you..

And so it is Valentine's Day.  But I have already done one of those.  Instead you get me in my favorite new(thrifted) absolutely most comfortable sweater ever! I found it in the mens section at the Goodwill.  I am a bit smitten with the olive green, which isn't news, as it has been a fave of mine for many, many years, though I sadly don't own much of it.  I even love a good dirty (olive filled) martini.  I am just an olive lover all around!

Oh, I had to show off the new addition to the family, our cute little Scion :)

..super snow..

Yay!  We had a lovely snowy day today!  I even got off work early and came home in time to do some playing in the snow.  We ended up with about 5 inches of fluffy snow at our house.  

I love having such a beautiful backdrop so when I got home I decided to play dress up, even though I wasn't going anywhere, so I could take some photos in the snow..

 I love how lots of tiny birds fluff themselves up and go play in the snow.

..V Day..

I am not big on the big commercial holiday that is approaching, rapidly.  But, I still buy into St Valentine's Day and I do love love, don't you?  And, I am still a little girl at heart, and would take flowers anytime.  I was feeling a bit  whimsical and was feeling a bit inspired by the loveliness of the traditional gift of the day, roses.  So romantic...

..wooden it be nice..

Lately I have really been digging things that a hand crafted from wood.  I am such a dork, I even like the old station wagons that have the wood panels, like....

 or better yet...

Couldn't you just see me rollin around in one of those?

Well, here are a few other translations of this current infatuation of mine that I have found on etsy.
