snowcation

we are so amazingly snowed in that i was excused from work yesterday and today! here is a photo of the view outside my apartment building door-- the cars are still totally covered in mounds of snow like this:


thanks to the mini snowcation, my favorite person and i got to enjoy this:
champagne and a little childhood favorite called the grilled cheese sandwich.

some cleaning and shoveling-- side note: isn’t that graffiti art so cool?

movies. finally watched “the red ballon” and liked it a lot.
if you’re at all into french cinema,
and have a short attention span like me (only 30+ minutes long!),
you might like it too.


board games like scattergories, chess, and even a 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle of klimt’s, the kiss.
a couple of hours into the puzzle,
we realized that we lacked puzzle-piecing ambition and gave up. :)

and, last but not least, skinny cow ice cream sandwiches!
why hadn’t i tried these sooner?
they are fantastic.
