Vacation Depression

So as a New Englander I'm dreading the third weekend in a row because of ... snow. The season finale of Downton Abbey has not helped at all either. To put us all in a better mood here are some of the things I did on vacation in Florida, because we can at least think warm. 

After we landed I refused to leave the airport until I had put my sweatshirt away, because it is much to warm to where a sweatshirt in Florida right? The cold night air blasted me in the face as we left, and I felt as though we hadn't actually left home. The next day was much nicer though.

Funny I didn't realize till I got there that I'd never seen a palm tree in person before.

I never really considered myself a pool, person, but when there is on readily available, I definitely got used to it.

I got to pet a baby alligator and then...

I ate one.

Went to the aquarium and saw a sea lion do this,

while a sea turtle just kept swimming.

I also saw Ms. Attitude.

Doesn't my Woolie Alligator look just like her?

But now I'm back and I will shovel away like all hearty New Englanders do, yet I'll be thinking about this while I do.

Even though it's a little more like this.

So everyone stay warm! There is good news here though the Sweet Carolyn's shop has tags!

Have a great Day.

Beauty of the Blizzard

We got some snow, it wasn't actually a blizzard. What was reported the day before was this:

After it had been snowing for about an hour the weather men were like "Oh my gosh guys it's actually not going to snow that much, you bought all the bread and milk you could, and thought you may have work off and ... oops. Oh that darn mother nature she's tricky." Well they may have not made that exact quote, but they might as well have. Along the coast we got anywhere from a dusting to a few inches and it does make everything very pretty. I went for a walk this morning at work and although cold, you can't beat the view.

One good thing about an impending storm is I got a lot of work done. This is my latest creation:

Woolie Whale made with the scraps of other whales and creatures, very eco-friendly.

Stay warm and productive my friends!
