Please, Please Snow!

2012 is just around the corner, and we still have not had any substantial snow (contrary to every wooly bear's coat that I saw this fall...). Nevertheless, I am thinking snow and staying positive (no need to scrape snow off the cars hmm?)! 

Unfortunately, a lack of snow to cover the late-December drear doesn't produce the best of photographs, but here are a few that might do the trick!

(viaFavim)

(yes, no snow in this one, but I think snow-friendly gear qualifies!)

Also, this past week's holiday festivities/parties are starting to remind me of this classic Marx Brothers scene from A Night at the Opera....


Enjoy!

Farewell to 2011!

Dreaming of Snow...

Last night we finally had a teensy bit of snow, although I believe that it was too *ahem* insubstantial to title the first official snowfall. While unsuccessfully trying to get into the winter spirit, I came across some old winter pics. Needless to say, I think these did the trick!

Caution: View At Your Own Risk

A 100% necessary indulgence... Grilled chocolate sandwiches...

Peanut butter, banana, and honey panini...

Nutella pound cake panini...


Plus, check out this NY Times article on the top-secret Google X -- personally, I'm liking the sound of the dinner plate that posts pictures of what you're eating and the driverless car...

I love when these places have "secret menus" -- I feel so in the know ;)
