Spring Awakening

I had to wear my sunglasses today.

And not just to cover my tired looking eyes and 1-minute make-up job.  Because it was actually sunny!

The temperature peaked at over 10 degrees today, which made me very happy. Now I'm not going to get carried away, as "they're" (who are the they we refer to when talking about weather?) are calling for snow on Sunday.

However, when I left work (at 5:15! yay!) it was sunny and bright. I threw my shades on, jumped in the Golf and rocked out to a little Karma Chameleon (you come and go, you come and goooooooo).

To celebrate this pseudo spring day (and the start of a long weekend), Mr. Feb Res surprised me with one of my favourite summer cocktails.

Knock knock. Who's there? Orange. Orange who? Orange you glad for Orangetini's?

Now I'm not really a fan of coolers. I like wine and beer, and find the typical "girly coolers", sickly sweet.  However, I really enjoy Orangetini. I think of them as alcoholic Tang. Orangey, a little tart, great on ice and they don't make me feel like a 17 year old sneaking coolers in my girlfriend's basement.

This guy is very happy because the sunny weather melted the snow and he was able to go for a rollerblade with Mr. Feb Res.

Rollerblading is fun!

I'm going to be sunglass shopping soon. My good old Chanel's have just about bit the dust. Will you help me?

Enjoy your long weekend!

My Funny Valentine

As I’ve mentioned, I have the world’s most handsome, smart, funny, and crazy dog. I love my husband, my family and my friends like crazy, but I ADORE my dog.

I seriously wish I could bring him to work with me.

Here’s my love

meet Bauer

I awoke today to him puking in his crate at 4am. So after cleaning him (husband’s job) and the mess (my job), obviously he had to jump in to bed and sleep between the two of us.

I let it slide. After all, it’s Valentine’s Day. 

If I was one of those wonderfully crafty and décor savvy people, I’d have a pillow like this for a day like this (via Etsy).

Hope your V-Day is filled with love.
