.negative.

.feels like -5.

have i discussed yet how much i absolutely love boston winters? yeah... not so much.

.cheers.

.merry.

.merry (late) christmas!.

i was in switzerland for christmas, and couldn't post, but i hope everyone had a wonderful christmas (or whatever holiday you celebrate). i'll post pictures from portugal and switzerland when j is back and i can load my pictures.

currently 13 degrees in cambridge, feels like -5. excellent.

oh. and i'll leave you with a picture of c's that i blatantly stole from her (which is why the quality is bad). do i really look like that when i'm taking pictures? yikes.


.cheers.

.food.

.i'm hungry right now.

so i'm thinking about food. and getting antsy about leaving for my trip! until i get back and can post lots of fun pictures, i will leave you with an ode to salads and yummy veggies.




happy holidays, all! hope they're full of family, food, and relaxation.

.cheers.

.red, a tribute.

.sigh.

i miss the farmer's markets of yore. and by yore, i mean a few months ago. this first** snowfall has me in the christmas-y mood, 'tis true (although i keep trying to find a good advent wreath, and i cannot find one anywhere!). but, i do love and miss the fruits and veggies of summer.

and nice red strawberries just scream summer. well, and this children's book. loved that book, and it always made me hungry.

anyway. although i do miss summer fruits, i did eat 6 oranges this weekend. they were amazing. and pomegranates ain't so bad, either.

here's for a long, hard winter

.cheers.


**by first, i mean the first one i am acknowledging. i have completely blocked the snowfall of mid-october '09 out of my memory, and thus it never occured

.so soon?.

.it is snowing.


no, this picture is not from today (thank god) - it's from last february. but, it is snowing. mind you, not the first snowfall of the year. that happened in mid-october (wha??). but, it is snowing, nonetheless.

so, j and i are listening to the smooth sound of kenny g's christmas carols and making cards. well, i am making cards. he is studying for finals.

to be honest, i was a bit relieved. the weather has been so wonky here lately - i think it was up to 70 at some point this past week. so bizarre. so, i am ready for snow. as long as the blizzarding, crappy boston weather holds off until i am back from my christmas trip, i will be fine. maybe not fine. boston winters suck. we'll see. maybe this year will be different.

maybe.

.cheers.
