making our own personal springtime

a lot of my favorite bloggers have been posting about how

glooooomy

it feels right now.

and they are right;

this stretch between the holidays and spring is rather brutal.

child-like anticipation ceased

pretty decorations dismantled

cheerful christmas music shut off

tasty cookies no longer baked

{okay, maybe this is a good thing}

the snow is no longer fresh and pretty

the cold gets old

and winter starts to feel overall too long and depressing.

will spring ever come?

right about now is when i reaaaaaaally appreciate my best friend.

she is intent on creating our own personal springtime

while we wait for the snow to melt

and flower to bloom again.

this saturday we have the most incredible list of

ridiculously girly things to do.

all day long.

i'll tell you about it later . . . i am reaaallly excited.

we're also planning a couple of trips to get out of new hampshire.

a couple of great shows to see

{the editors, wilco, joanna newsom, muse . . .}.

and watching the olympics!

we're determined not to let the cold and lack of sunlight

get us down.

ohhhh, and i just remembered that monday is a holiday . . .

hooray for sleeping in!
