a little snow and inspiration

yay! it finally snowed here. not really..it is only a tiny bit. it is covering the backyard, but out on the street, it is all melted. but, i guess it's a start.

taking a little break last week was nice. i guess i didn't really have a choice..i was so tired, i could barely move by the end of the day. i ended up getting sick at the end of the week, with a cold. my body needed a little break from all the hustle and bustle. so, yesterday i relaxed and caught up on reading magazines and watching old dvds. i diligently took my airborne and cold medicine, and today i am almost back to 100%. feeling a little better, i did end up going to see little children last night. it was really good. the acting was amazing and it is the kind of movie that can create a lot of discussion.

so, one of the things that i discovered during my sunday recovery was that i am totally ADDICTED to magazines, especially foreign ones. i know i am a totally visual person, when i keep buying magazines when i can't even read the articles. i recently bought milk, a french parenting magazine. no, i don't have children, but i was so in love with the imagery and feel of this magazine that i had to buy it. and the great thing is, there is an alternate english version of all the articles in the back. the photography is amazing. there are no equivalents over here in the US, that's for sure.

there was a great article on this cool hotel.
