Snow, snow, go away

Well.  Just got dug out from 8-10 inches of fresh snow.  I swear you guys.  I said it yesterday, I choose to live in a cold, snowy state, but seriously.  Adding insult to injury - it had rained before it snowed, so my car was not only full of snow this morning but it also had a nice sheen of ice on it too.  And the locks were frozen.  Sweet.  I had been sent home from work early yesterday, but knew my boss would be gone today and hadn't approved us coming in late or working from home, so I really needed to get out.  Pants Monkey to the rescue - he helped bust open my car and shoveled me out of the driveway.  He's my hero.


I saw so many stupid people this morning.  Yep.  I am not mincing words here - they seriously were just being stupid.  I was cut off by a guy in a big F150 style truck who DID NOT CLEAN OFF HIS WINDSHIELD.  Big pet peeve - it's so dangerous to do that.  I honked at him of course.  He proceeded to drive like an idiot and I thankfully lost him about a block from my parents house.  I also avoided a near miss with TWO trucks with plows that were doing people's driveways and backing up without looking behind them.  Sigh.  You stay classy Minnesota.

Sweater - Mossimo, Target
Jeans - Gap, thrifted
Hat and scarf - Target
Bag - Coach via Poshmark 


So anyway, I made it to my parents house in one piece, fed my child, got back out the door and was only about ten minutes late to work.  It could be worse.  And now it's cold again - but it's Friday, so a good excuse to wear a hat and cover up my shaggy horrible hair.  It most definitely will be getting chopped later today so it's all clean for Oliver's baptism this weekend.  I'm also relieved the storm hit yesterday and not Saturday into Sunday - that would have been worse!  I hope you all have great weekends - and maybe better weather than me if you don't live in Minnesota!

  7. OH no! We definitely did not get THAT storm! We got the cold weather (cold enough to cancel date night last night). But you look utterly adorable. You look so long and lean, and most importantly, relaxed and comfortable with you in this outfit.
