I logged onto your site today to check out your New Arrivals section and was appalled to find a plethora of new offerings for spring. In Baltimore, it is currently 26 degrees with snow in the forecast for the next 36 hours (oh, and not to mention the three feet of snow that is already on the ground). Cargo shorts and bright colored polos? I think not!
I wish I was in spring with you guys, but I’m stuck in winter for the time being. Please stop teasing me!
Another normal weekend spend working! Nothing new to see here!
In other news, I’m loving the winter Olympics. I’ve gotten into it so much more than I have in the past. (Also, I tweet incessantly when I’m watching the games. Follow me!) The NBC Olympics iPhone app is pretty awesome, too. Check it out.
When I went to bed last night, there were two inches of snow on the ground even though it had been snowing for seven hours. Imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning and 25 more inches had fallen overnight! At 5:21 PM EST, there are 31 inches of snow on my deck. This is outrageous! (Oh, and the sun came out as soon as it stopped snowing! When does that happen?)
27 inches of snow when I woke up.
The snow was above my bedroom window. Granted, my bedroom is in the basement but the snow rarely comes up to the window.
I got snow on my ankles on the very first step outside. I thought they were bundled up nicely but the snow still got through (the snow was up to my thighs!).
A winter wonderland? That phrase doesn’t work so well after Christmas.
There was enough snow to make an igloo! It was a lot of fun.
You couldn’t even see most of the younger kids over the piles of snow.
First time I’ve ever seen those trees bent that far over. You can also see in this picture how windy it was – there was snow blowing all over the place.
Final count: 31 inches. We haven’t seen a plow since yesterday, I doubt I’ll be going anywhere any time soon.
I just discovered the band Pink Martini and I’m deeply in love. I’m not quite sure how to describe their sound, but it’s like jazz/pop/latin/blues music in three different languages. It’s very classy and low-key.
One song that I find particularly striking, however, is Oú est ma tête? (Where is my head?). It’s completely in French but it’s so romantic and beautiful and I really feel this song. Check it out below! (Google for the lyrics in English, they’re not as beautiful as the French but they’re still romantic).
