44 and rainy in miami...toto i don't think we're home anymore

Yeah...uh...I feel like I'm living in NYC again!

Don't get me wrong, I really do like cold weather, but this has been a near record breaking week with it being cold for a week straight! ...actually it warmed up yesterday...if not we'd be setting a new record for longest amount of time with cold weather in Miami.

This morning it was 43 and rainy in Miami...you know that spitting rain...the light rain. We were suppose to ride our bikes to the Beaux Arts Festival...but I don't think we're going to be doing that since its only 45 and rainy now.

It's even been snowing in Tampa, Ocala and Gainesville and Orlando! Crazy!

So bundle up...because no matter where you are, it's COLD!

Making Headlines

This morning at around 7:50am I walked out of the museum across the street to Government Center to catch the people mover to Brickell for a meeting.

It was about 45 degrees, and this picture was taken of me by a Miami Herald photographer. The picture was on the newspapers homepage in about an hour for about three hours...and my phone and email began to be flooded with messages from friends saying, "You look so cozy today!"

So here are my fifteen minutes of fame for the day. Granted, they spelled my name wrong, but oh well, c'est la vie.

It's my birthday month...and Anthropologie remembered

I adore Anthropologie! Every year they remember that it's my birthday month and send me a little discount card in the mail.

This year's little card has the sweetest candle necklace. It comes tied like a bow and after you untie it, you can wear it.


These are the kinds of things I adore...sweet surprises.

If you have an anthro card, you'll probably get one of these this year too.

HOORAH for birthday month!!

First Day Back...

Today was my first day back at work after a week and a half hiatus.

As the emails poured in and the phone began to ring I took my mind to this poster (which I covet...especially in this frame)...

Keep Calm and Carry On!

It's the first of many Mondays until another break like that, so I will keep telling myself to 'Keep calm and carry on'.

If it was your first day back too...I hope it was productive.

Kristin is giving away some treasures!

It's my favorite thing! A give away!! Kristin Pearce the fun and talented blogging jeweler is at it again. You must submit quickly to have a chance at winning one of these lovely necklaces.

Bon Chance, and don't forget to mention where you heard it first!

Ciao 2009!

Here are my New Year's Resolutions...

1. Save money

2. Stay healthy and keep exercising

3. Organize my surroundings and keep them that way!

4. Play either a round of golf or go to the driving range once a week.

These are a few of my favorite things...

Post Christmas greetings! On the 5th day of Christmas, I finally uploaded pictures from Christmas Day and am getting to my blog.

I wanted to share two of my favorite Christmas gifts.

My snazzy coasters from Kristin Pearce
and my snazzy Lilly journals and pen.

I also got the digital foto frame I really wanted. Naturally I've already put over 500 pictures of family and friends on the frame.

I hope everyone has been enjoying the Holidays!
