What and Where


Here's what I woke up to this morning blaring in the news:

A snowstorm that has already hit southern Ontario has made its way to the National Capital Region Wednesday morning, making for a potentially treacherous commute into the city. Light snow has begun to fall steadily since 5 a.m., and as much as 15 cm of snow is expected to fall in Ottawa and the surrounding area on Wednesday. Winds of up to 50 km per hour will also make for "near blizzard" conditions in many areas.

I look out the window and sure enough, there's a massive collection of beautiful white snow everywhere. It's like a warm (except it's not) cozy, cashmere blanket enveloping the entire city with peaks of snow caps dangling on top of bells and towers. That sure paints a picture of a perfect scene for strolling on the frozen boardwalk with a hot chocolate in one hand and an even hotter man in the other. In reality, it was painful! Driving, walking and bussing into work this morning was a pain in the maximus gluteus. At least that's what I heard.


Lucky for me, E was gracious and kind enough to drop mi island ass off to work and he promised to come back and pick me up tonight too! I'm a spoiled kitty, aren't I?
Awww, yes I know!

How are you guys doing today?

I always want everything you are wearing. ALWAYS. I never find awesome thrifted items like that, either! Perhaps I'm too impatient... or have a toddler waning my attention span. Either way, I'm with Melissa; YOU DESERVE to be spoiled. In fact, we all do. So gentlemen, start your engines. :)

Also, Husband met me at my parking lot on the way home from his job this morning (he works nights) to drive me to my office, since it was raining. Ahhh, sweet man.

Ashelle said...

Totally spoiled! But you deserve to be spoiled girl ;) Today was a pain in the A$$ to travel. The red limo (as Em puts it) was super late which meant I spent too much time on the stinky bus and waiting in the cold. brr. You look super chic & cozy warm.

Brittany D'Lynne said...

Those boots were really $10! You look so cute and comfy today! :)

Unknown said...

Today was brutal- glad you survived (and looked pretty darn cute while doing it!) Those boots look great and the sweater is adorable! Stay warm! xo Em

P.S. Ash- I do say the red limo hahah! And I took that red limo today!

Tara said...

I find snow HIGHLY overrated. Sure, it's pretty and all, but it makes anything other than sitting in your house pretty miserable, so I'll say no thank you to that!

Love the hat, though!

Mae Lu said...

Dude your office bathrooms are freaking fantabulous.

AND YOU ARE SO CUTE in that touque! I can't pull off beanies with the tassel ties, but you are just so adorbs.

Yeah, we got pounded with 9" (23cm) the other day, and now today it's 8F (-13.33C) and windy and I hate my life. Tonight it'll be 3F with wind chill of -7F (-16.1C with -21.67C wind chill).... Seriously, why do we live in these regions again? Filipinos were not made for snow.

XX.
