Another Brick in the Wall

A little glimpse of whats on my walls at the moment with Donut thrown in for good measure ... Happy Friday everyone

When in New England

 

Marc and I headed to New England to see our families over the holidays.  It was a whirlwind tour as it always is when you try to squeeze so much in over the course of a week.  It was nice to go home and take a break from the daily grind.  I ate way too much food, slept in, and tried to soak in as much time back "home" ... below are some snippets from our time up north.

Hiking around the Rhode Island coast

Newport... after filling our yaps with clam chowder and heavy beer!

 

Antiquing around Templeton. So many good finds; if only I could have fit everything in my suitcase!

Now it is back to normal. Time to stop eating 5,000 calories a day and finishing each day with a cocktail.

Here is to a Happy 2015! 

Happy Friday!

Sorry for the silence this week friends. Between starting a new job and Thanksgiving this week flew by. I am looking forward to unpacking my Christmas decorations and "winterizing" my apartment this weekend ... pictures to come next week!  I Hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving and a relaxing weekend!

A Miami Holiday ...

I heard it is snowing back up in New England. I know if i was living up there I would be cursing the fact that winter is starting it's long stay already feeling pale and patchy skinned but part of me is missing that "first snow" and the holiday vibe that it brings with it! This year I have decided being in such a different spot I need to rethink how I decorate for the holidays. I can't bring myself to buy a tree knowing it was probably cut down today from Canada and drove down here so I am going total 1960's Miami bling. I want the tackiest, whitest tree I can find and i want to fill it with colored lights, vintage bulbs, and maybe even tinsel.

 Marc and I are heading up north for Christmas but we are staying down here for Thanksgiving. It will be the first Thanksgiving not in New England.  We are going to have a "Friendsgiving" at one of the other professors house and I am looking forward to this new tradition. I also decided I am going to run this the morning of.

Holidays for me are always deep rooted in traditions and nostalgia and I am excited to mix the old and new this year and to get my hands on a tacky white tree!!
