What else can I say?


Today is just one of those days
where it seems absurdity is going to rule the day.



It starting when I had an allergic reaction to... the cold.

My thighs literally got so cold walking
that they are covered in hives & swollen.

 I'm warming up with fresh Pippin's donuts from today's organic market
{oxymoron?}
and waiting for the first batch of coffee to brew
 in my new coffee maker that arrived this morning...

{After 8 months of a french press, I'm ready to outsource the effort to a machine.}

And of course, laughing about how ridiculous this all is.

Here's to hoping your day 
gets off on the right {unswollen} foot....

  2. Lauren, I'm so sorry about your legs. You'll never want to go anywhere with me again. I'm ready for some tropical winds to blow some warm air into town! Enough with winter! At least you have your coffee to console you!

  3. Glad the cold did not affect your wit and whim...nothing like a doughnut to cure all or some nutty fun.

  5. I had the exact same thing happen to me once when Mark and I were in D.C. I walked around Arlington National Cemetary in boots. It was freezing and snowing and when we returned to the hotel I was swollen with hives from the top of my boots to the bottom of my skirt. It was crazy.

  7. Oh no, feel better!

    I had a strange skin reaction to the cold when I visited home too! This tropical country living has thrown my system for a loop!

  8. I have a friend who is literally allergic to the cold - whenever she ventures out with temps lower than 40 degrees she gets hives all over! So I'm sure she would totally relate to how you are feeling!
    Hope you are able to stay warm!!

  9. As I'm drinking my coffee this morning, machine made of course, I am feeling really bad for you today. Some days are just like that. And, that's when I remind myself.....there can't be a rainbow without the rain.

    Hang in there!!!!

    And, ironically, I just bought a French Press to try a different approach to my coffee making/drinking experience....funny, that you are switching back to automatic!

  17. Yup. The first snowstorm I had to trudge through to get to class in college made me puff up like a monster. And I was on my way to dance. Then my legs burned like fire for the next five hours.

  20. First off, I ADORE that picture! My mom sent it to me in an email with a bunch of other crazy animal photos and it is so awesome.

    Second, I hope you're feeling better! I think we all have those days sometimes. When nothing is right and everything is crazy.

    So glad to have found your blog!!
