happy presidents day.

driving around brooklyn this past month... I saw lots of valentine's decorations...as this weekend got closer, I saw some signs of the upcoming chinese new year...but this window is the one and only nod I've seen to Presidents Day.

the party's over

Christmas is over for another year...today was rainy, windy, and grey - my favorite kind of day for staying inside and working on indoor projects. I spent a couple hours re-organizing the bedroom and closet - when I first moved in here, I unpacked quickly and just stuck stuff anywhere to get the boxes out. And while I was productive, after 4 days without a car, I'm starting to feel a little trapped! I know people live in the city all their lives and never have a car, but they know how to do that! I'm clueless about the subways! One of my goals for this vacation week is to get on the subway and go into the city...just to get my feet wet. In the meantime, in the rain and small apartment, I'm feeling a little like a prisoner in my own home....not unlike this glittery guy behind bars...

merry christmas

I love the crazy overdecorated houses....but my favorites are the traditional homes w classic decorations...

caleb and I went out for a wander this evening and ended up blocks and blocks away from home! trust me, I am *not* a walker, so for *me* to get so far from home without realizing it, you KNOW I am captivated by what I see!

mad lights. mad. this is bay ridge.
