Little old birthday girl

This morning I woke up with back pains, white hair, and glasses...

and that's when I realized I was another year older.

Where's my cane at?

Surprise!

Matty and I took a trip to my dad's house this weekend to surprise my little brother.

His reaction was so funny that I just had to share!

Morning Moo

Moo wakes up early every morning to wash his hair and clean his teeth.

He takes longer in the bathroom than I do!

But let's face it, it takes a lot of work to be this handsome.

Birds

I've had a very stressful week so I decided that I would relax this morning and read a bit.

But when I opened up my magazine, tons of paper birds started flying out!

They've been flying around my kitchen

and my bedroom all day.

I think they're quite lovely...

but they keep messing with my doo!

Snow Hunk

The city is covered with perfect snowman making snow.

Since we don't have a backyard, I hopped out on our fire escape and made our little buddy right there!

Handsome.

I couldn't resist.

and apparently neither could Matty.

Gray Days

It's been gray outside all week so a quick burst of color from my apartment is in order!

and silly straws are guaranteed to brighten any day ;)

17 things that make me smile

Finding a surprise under your table,

running around sunflower fields with Matty,

going food shopping for mozzarella sticks, snacks, and little brothers,

Matty's fun signs,

people that laugh so hard they need to hold onto their stomachs for dear life,

looking out your window and seeing someone ski down the middle of the street,

big dogs that think they're still babies,

rainbow chucks,

being apart and reading bedtime stories on web cam,

my neighbor's pet duck,

girls that wear a mustache so well they almost convince me it's real,

cannonballs into bed,

spotting an endangered bald eagle,

painting in panties,

old roommates,

spying stairs,

and your responses on twitter to what move Moo is doing. Apparently he is doing jazz paw bend and stretch triple axel praying buddha on a lotus pad figure skating death spiral yoga. Amazing!

Kisses

This weekend Matty and I volunteered to take fun pictures at the Greenpoint Food Market.

I made tons of hearts to hang up and took pics of people kissing for Valentine's day!

There were romantic kisses,

blowing kisses,

cheek pecks,

Triple kisses,

group smooches,

baby kisses,

dog licks,

and Matty....who is sadly still looking for a kiss.

Anyone interested now? He's got some good moves ;)
