Just a quick check in before El Hub and I head down to the city for an early dinner. I thought it was gonna be sunnier today (like it was yesterday), but at least it isn’t raining. What’s shakin’ out your way?

March 20th, 2010 at 5:53 pmIt’s snowing here 🙁 Talk about an awesome first day of spring!… NOT.
Karen says
March 21st, 2010 at 12:24 pmOh boy. Is it still snowing!?
Kim says
March 21st, 2010 at 8:26 pmAt this moment, it’s not anymore… it kept snowing throughout the day though! Crazy. Totaled 12 inches!!
We started spring break over the weekend so I KNOWWWW I won’t be doing much this week. But get this — it’s supposed to be in the 50s tomorrow and 71 on Tuesday! What kind of wacko weather is this?

March 21st, 2010 at 12:23 pmI bet I would loooove the scent of that candle!

March 20th, 2010 at 7:21 pmThanks for the links. Have fun in the city. Do you know where you guys are going to dinner? I love SF. Have you ever been to Slanted Door? It’s like Vietnamese fusion and great. Highly recommend it.

March 21st, 2010 at 12:22 pmWe ended up going to Harvey’s in the Castro. The food was pretty good, and the service/vibe was great!

March 20th, 2010 at 10:09 pmIt’s SNOWING in my neck o’ the woods. Seriously, I am so sick of snow! I’d take a tornado over this snow right about now.
I just ordered three more shirts from my favorite online shop. I hope to God it’ll be warm soon so I can wear them!
I have to type up a paper tomorrow. I so don’t feel like writing it write now!
Karen says
March 21st, 2010 at 12:22 pmNew spring shirts are always fun. What do they look like?
Good luck with your paper!

March 21st, 2010 at 1:58 pmI got Abstract, Renny (in white) and Lots of Bows (in peach) from here->
KLPigMentShop
I think I look at that site weekly. I have two other shirts from her. I wear one shirt so much that my mom teases me if I have any other shirts.

March 20th, 2010 at 10:54 pmThanks for the link love, girl! The weather over in my neck of the woods has been pretty erratic, too — it was gorgeous today (gorgeous enough to warrant an hour-long walk on my part,) but it dipped down to about -3 Celsius yesterday! (About 37 Fahrenheit.) Brrr :/

Karen says
March 21st, 2010 at 12:21 pmSoon enough it’ll be warm (hopefully!). How hot does it get up in your neck of the woods?
Martha says
March 21st, 2010 at 8:05 amSpeaking of snow, it’s the last day of my spring break and there is 6 inches of snow outside.
Karen says
March 21st, 2010 at 12:21 pmThat’s so crazy!
How was your spring break? What did you end up doing?
Nina says
March 21st, 2010 at 8:22 amFor the first day of Spring, we had thunderstorms, rain all day and temps in the 30s. So weird! It was a good weekend htough … pretty chill, which I like!
Karen says
March 21st, 2010 at 12:20 pmOh no! I hope the weather is a little nicer today.
It’s a little cooler here, too… overcast and in the mid-60s.
Happy Sunday!

March 21st, 2010 at 4:23 pmI subscribed to this blog yesterday, and I couldn’t be more excited about stumbling across it. I’m looking forward to all there is to come!

March 22nd, 2010 at 11:25 amThe Korres products also do without silicones for all of their products. I’ve just converted to using their products and they’re great.
