Snowy Weekend

So we're going to get 3-8 inches of snow tonight.
It's weird. We were out and about doing errands this morning and everyone was talking about it like it was the apocalypse. This is Michigan right? I thought that this was pretty common here.

Well anyway, maybe Michael won't be able to go to school tomorrow and we can spend two days hanging out!

It's really cold out right now. My computer says it 21 degrees out...brrrrr.

We went to this really cute French cafe this morning for coffee. They have wonderful pastry chefs who make the most beautiful treats you've ever laid eyes on...mmm...French treats. That was fun. Then we went to Borders and it was insane! The line was soooo long.

*side note* Michael is on iTunes right now searching for Christmas music. Every 15 seconds I get to hear a fraction of another Christmas song. Fun stuff.

Alright. Oh I forgot to mention that I was offered to be in a group show this February in Ohio. It's called Pink Milk Studio. She has an Etsy shop:

She also has a website:
http://www.papercutsandgluesticks.com
it's under construction right now, but you can kinda get an idea about it :)

I am really excited about this. Now all I have to do is find something to inspire me! I just don't know what I really want to paint at this point.

We leave for my mom's house in Pennsylvania next Friday. I am worried about the weather. I hope it's good. I'm also worried about how Chloe is going to manage being in a car for 12 + hours. My plan is to have a plenitude of Bully Sticks and treats on hand. Hopefully she'll just sleep the whole way. I can't wait for my family to meet her.

Another side note. I REALLY want to see that movie Juno. I've been waiting for it to come out for so long...It has Michael Serra in it. The kid that played George Michael on Arrested Development. That show is absolute genius and if you haven't seen it, rent ALL of them. The show was canceled a few years ago, after only three seasons because I guess it was all too genius for the average American public. I had my wisdom teeth pulled last winter and for three consecutive days I laid on the couch, popped pain killers, and watched all three seasons of Arrested Development. It was awesome.

So maybe we can go see that movie later.
Ok, I promised Kim some more Chloe pictures, so here you go. I love the one where she's in time out...

Blogs!

My friend Angie has a blog now!
You should visit hers.

This is her with Mikey at one of our favorite breakfast retaurants, Junior's. They have really good food and coffee.

We put up our Christmas tree today along with some other decorations.
So now our apartment looks nice and festive.

I am almost ready to post some paintings on my Etsy.
I think taking pictures and posting the items is the most un-fun part of selling on Etsy.
I wish I could just hit a re-list button, but it's kinda hard to do that when you have original paintings...

Anyhoo...it was a good day. Oh! We went to this practically abandoned mall this morning. It's really weird. There is a JCPenny's, Sears, Kohl's, and a Macy's there. Then there are a handful of other stores, but the majority of the shops are closed. Just empty with some signage. It's really strange. There is a food court, but only one pizza place remains. There aren't a lot of people at this mall either. It's strange. It's like being in that movie Dawn of the Dead...

OK...we bought Chloe a nice red sweater last night. She gets really confused when we put it on her, but she looks festive! It's a little big, but seeing how she is growing so fast she'll probably fit into it in a few weeks. We also got her this thing called a Bully Stick which we promptly re-named the Crack Stick because if it's not in her mouth she's scouring the apartment for it. So if you have dogs, I highly recommend Bully Sticks. It keeps them entertained for HOURS.
