insta-lately

eep! another insta-lately!

i love this wintry collection of photos. even though this is, hands down, the time of year i like the least.

this is kind of the ideal version of what winter

should

look like…

everything white, everything bright, cookies in jars,

pine needles, plaid, and happy lights in windows. it's all a little glamorized.

Maybe I do like the winter a little bit. Sometimes winter does look like this,

but most times it doesn't - it also consists of short hours of daylight,

horrid frigid temperatures, icy roads, the Christmas tree being taken down, and being PALE, the very worst!

Is anyone sick of my cold weather complaints?

I

am

looking forward to a few things this winter, a few awesome things.

Weekends with friends, near and far…the Olympics (!)…the premiere of Downton Abbey season 4!

The arrival of spring! Awards shows! Valentines' Day! 

And before we know it…poof! spring!

I'm not sure if I am convincing you that I can actually like the winter.

okkkk…bye! ciao, xo
