obviously i didn't resolve to post more often in the new year. but it's my blog, and i'll blog if i want to. wow, that sounded so... anyway, the site was down for a while. okay, it was only like a day. whatever.

winter finally came to new york city. last week we had temps in the (high) fifties, and then suddenly it was gone. now it's frigid, and everything is snow and ice-covered. it's a good thing i bought a new winter coat! i was getting tired of wearing all black like every other new yorker, so i found a jacket in bright blue. it's really bright. it's a water-proof shell over a zip-in down jacket. you should be jealous. thanks mom and dad and holly and chris for the cash to buy it. yes, it took all that! but it was on sale, so that makes it okay in our family, right?

FYI: i don't know if i'm going to make it through today. i didn't have any chocolate in my lunch today, and now i feel like i'm starting to freak out. i didn't really realize i was such an addict. maybe i can fake an errand and leave the office to pick some up. hmmmmm....
