New England Winter

Is winter over yet? The good thing about shoveling these stairs it I can use it as an excuse to skip going to the gym.

It's only January 27. A few more months to go.



This one doesn't seem to mind the snow.

Coffee Competition!

This is how the day started.



A few minutes later, someone had shared their opinion about how Dunkin ruled over Starbucks.





Clearly, the Dunkin fans were more vocal than the (more refined) Starbucks fans.

Laundry

One of the never-ending household chores is the dirty laundry. I dream of the day all of the clothes and towels and sheets and whatever else is clean. It will never happen. At the end of it all, I still have to be wearing something. So those clothes will definitely be dirty.

I had a solid 36 hours in front of me to clean the house, clean my room, get rid of all the clothes that don't fit me, and boy are there a lot of those. And DO THE LAUNDRY. Instead, I did a few loads of laundry, cleaned some dishes, and then went out to do some chores. Now, it's nighttime, I got back at around 10, and there's no way I'm doing any cleaning. Not when there's an entire episode of The OC here. At least there's some clean underwear.

Hearts

It's coming up on Valentine's day, which is another excuse for stores to sell holiday themed candy, and bakeries to sell holiday themed cupcakes. I bought a chocolate cupcake on the way to work, with white frosting, a red plastic heart pick and red and white heart shaped sprinkles.

It's not my favorite holiday.

Limbo

How long does limbo last before it's not limbo, you're no longer waiting to find out or hear something, and it's just time to move on?

Peevish

Some pet peeves (forgive me if I've posted about this before)

The sound of a plastic spoon in an almost empty yogurt cup. That quick scrape scrape sound makes my skin crawl.

The incessant throat clearing of my neighbor. It drives me crazy. I can hear it over the cranked Pandora. I've had a cold and am now doing it myself, but I'm trying to keep it to a minimum and am NOT doing it 2 or 3 times a minute!

People who ask if you have any questions and then keep talking and don't let you ask them.

Hating,Continued

Dating Hating, continued:
Plans were made, plans were canceled, and now we're both doing some thinking. What a hassle.
