not a fashion post...

meet my cat bella. she is sweet and covered in fur. she sleeps next to me every night and i am allergic to her.





here is all the crazyness that is the holidays here. not that things are really ever too crazy but this year was an pile of things to do and places to be.
we had friends over for christmas day brunch so i spent christmas eve making cinnamon rolls. here is the evidence.


work space.



mmmmmm....butter and brown sugar.



i use the floss to cut the rolls rather than a knife.



waiting to rise.

i know that you'll find, love...

the uncharacteristically snowy weather my little city is experiencing is so very wonderful. can't really go anywhere and i don't really see the need to. the house is stocked with firewood and bourbon. there are plenty of movies and a cozy cat to snuggle up to. the internet is working and brownies are in the oven.


the view from here



in preparation for the stormy weather josh and i picked up groceries this morning. we've been ordering them online and picking them up at the store, which works out great. they throw in free stuff for using the service and sometimes the free stuff the include is worth more than the service costs!! sounds like a good deal to me! it's also pretty ideal since i hate going to the grocery store and josh never goes grocery shopping.

unlike most days we had a day of tasty, home cooked food. don't get me wrong, i love to cook but rarely seem to find the time.

almost...

pancake breakfast at 1pm.


then i went ahead and made a delicious split pea soup. mmmm...it's going to even better tomorrow.
