Be My Valentine

Vintage Valentine's Day cards have the most ridiculous puns, some of which cross the WTF line. Images via Google Images, in order from cheesiest to creepiest (and most rape-y and most racist).

Snuggly Bears

Been thinking about snuggling lately because it's been so cold! We've been spoiled all winter until now, which makes it even more unbearable. 

Life of late: 1) started a new job at a bakery, so at least I get free coffee and tea and hot chocolate. 2) been having a strong urge to dye my hair, which may be symptomatic of some unidentified anxiety. Still figuring that one out.

Happy 2013

I have a hard time assessing how an entire year was, but I think I'd have to go with pretty great, on a solely personal level, of course. Here's to hoping in 2013. This was the best New Years Eve I've had in a while, so it seems I'm off to a pretty good start. Now to get going on those resolutions.

Party People

Best party ever--all my Denver besties.

I pictured myself in a Denver bar that night...

I'm going to Colorado on Sunday before going home for Christmas, and I cannot express my excitement. I'm pretty sure my brain is preparing for the amount of excitement about to ensue by making me unusually sad this week. It's worth it. These are pictures from the last time I was in Colorado in the winter. I can't wait to get out of New York for a while, see my best friend in the whole world, and finally eat some decent Mexican food.
