Settling In

This common sight on the streets of NYC is a reminder that as of Thursday, the 12 days of Christmas are officially over.  But after all the travels and visits and snowboarding, I feel like I have already begun to settle back into my life at home.

Coolness on back of bus - heading home from shopping

This weekend I was able to take Stella out for a spin (until she ran out of oil - new year's resolution…check fluids frequently),  do a few returns, meet up with our friends who are new parents and taxi them downtown with the most precious cargo on board - an adorable little newborn, go to beauty salon, restart dance classes that I was really missing after a month off!, take an nicely unexpected call from Dad this morning - for no "special" reason at all, and kickoff Improv coaching with Abra Tabak who i have admired since seeing her perform with the Grandma's Ashes troupe at the first Harold night I attended. Abra just has quick wit and a very positive energy - i know I will learn lots from her. Also I am reading up on the art of Improv - in hopes of a better show come March.

I took on the bold task to clean out my hats! These are not even all of them, not even half! - disgraceful I know. Oh, i have challenged myself recently to wear all my winter hats at least once. I am toying with posting a temporary page to host all the looks for good fun.

Raclette Love!

APRES SKI!!! Since we missed much of the bar scene after the slopes in Colorado, it was decided we would do a followup here at home. And without wasting anytime, we found ourselves gathered around this extensive setup for Raclette night, talking about about some heavy controversial issues - -  of which are easy to stand as judge and jury after a little JD&Coke!  Love hanging out with this group of friends - time just flies.



And in between, took a little time to dream a little of things to come.

Hope you are finding your arrival in 2012 is full of happiness.
