Things are feeling pretty spring here in Michigan the past two days, and it seems that the rest of the week is supposed to be more of the same. Everyone is out walking their dogs, jogging, ridding bikes, and Louie and Joseph are currently in the backyard, barking their heads off at them all because that is what asshole dogs do. Hey, at least they are cute, right?

I wish that I had something witty and clever to say to you lovelies, but all I can think of is my bed + flannel PJ's,and sweet dreams of Idris Elba. 

Happy Monday!

February is usually one of my favorite months, as I am one for winter. However, this past one was COLD. Too many days with temps in the negative = no walks on lunch breaks, no pup-walks, wearing ALL of the layers, and ugly sobbing every time I went outside. It was (almost?) 30 degrees today, and everyone was outside. Brian came over to help me out with a much-needed dog walk, and Louie and Joesph were ecstatic aka they peed on everything.  Including a snowman.

But it wasn't all bad. There are a lot of birthdays in February, so there was a lot of celebrating. We went to Hip in Detroit's third Anniversary party at Small's to see my good friend Zander Michigan play, and we had a great time. I have been hanging out with Jen a lot this month, and it is great to have another girlfriend around. We've been having a blast getting brunch, booze, and coffee this past month, and I anticipate more shenanigans as spring and summer hit.

It has also been the month of comics! I finally caved and started a comic-pull at Comics & More. It was hard picking which shop to go with, but Kyle pushed for Comics & More because he has giant boner for one of the guys who works there, Chris, even though Kyle does not read any comics, whatsoever.

Also, also, mix-tape CDs! My friends and I have been making mixes for each other, and it has been a blast. I love listening to what my friends like, because I always end up hearing something new, or being really excited to discover they like a song that I like. My friend Anne just gave me one and the very first song was Nina Simone. Swoon!

Now I am sipping sleepy time tea (crack, basically) and in dire need of my bed because old lady. Goodnight, everyone :)

I feel like this sweater was created for the month of February, the fact that Valentine's Day is over already, be damned! It has been so cold (in the D!) lately that I have been living in jeans and thick sweaters. I actually just cleared out about half of my closet to donate, because I keep wearing the same things over and, over. It actually pushed me into project mode, so I am planning on redecorating the whole closet now. You know, after I get around to finishing the other 8 million projects that I've started. I am a terrible idealist. I have these perfect visions of how I want everything to pan out, but carrying these ideas out takes time. Where's the Doctor when you need him, eh?

In other news: I have been left alone at work for an entire week! It is awesome having the entire office to myself, but that also means that I have to be responsible and actually answer the phone once in awhile. Despite the fact that everyone has been pretty cranky due to the cold weather, I have actually liked work lately. I made a huge dent in my never-ending pile of paperwork, sorted out a giant billing mess, and have been prepping a few little projects for one of the interns. That was just today. Then I came home and cleaned the house for four hours straight. I have made so many lists for this week, and have everything prepped. If anyone needs me, I will be over here kicking ass, and taking names!

Oy! Unexpected blog break, life has been crazy busy! I can't believe that Christmas is next week, and work has been crazy busy as usual. These photos were taken back in November, whoops. I did really like this outfit though! It has been unseasonably warm here, so I can get away with wearing light jackets. And this hat, that I somehow seem to wear every-other-post. I am so predictable.

My evenings have been pretty crazy too, between sending out Xmas cards, getting gifts together, cooking, cleaning, and taking care of two crazy pups, I have been jammed! I also have a love/hate relationship with the gym lately. I haven't lost any weight, but, I am really enjoying the release. I swear, going to the gym is what keeps me from murdering my coworkers. That and all of the folk music Kyle and I have been listening to. I am trying to convince him that we totally have money to splurge on tickets to see The Decemberists in March, who needs food? That is what ramen is for!

For now though, I am enjoying a few minutes of freedom. Currently, I am sitting on the floor (because the dogs are on the couch, obviously), reading blogs and re-watching Doctor Who. Because life is short, and Peter Capaldi is hot.

What.  

But really though, shouldn't a lady have a go at being the next Doctor? If only I were British. and had taken acting lessons. Le sigh.  I could still help out with wardrobe though, eh, Eh?
