Back to the Gloomy Cold. Oh Flippin' Joy.

If you followed my tweets recently you'd know that I was away on a press trip this week and just got in yesterday. I had a wonderful time, but it's such a drag to leave 70 degree weather for what we've got going now. Oh, and not only was I greeted by rain and 35 mph winds, but I also lost my camera somewhere. Ain't that some kind of wonderful? Grrr...

On the plus size side, in between eating nonstop and tasting 5,000 wines and drinks, I put on a couple pounds. I'm just hoping they'll stick around for a while. And to brighten up this dreary day a bit, this morning I received a delivery: my winnings from Joy De Vivre Design's weekly Etsy shop contest! Now I can take my coffee table from junk holder to dinner table in a matter of seconds. You can get score these colorful placemats on Wing And Willow.

UPDATE: My camera has been found and will be shipped to me soon! Phew!

    You're young, gorgeous, smart and in NYC. I think you can handle little things like temporary crummy weather, right??

    Head up girl!!

    Weather definitely gets to me too; I am not okay with cold and rain at the same time at all!

    I'm glad that your camera was found...it's so frustrating to think you lost something, possibly forever. That's how I felt about the perkiness in my boobs after baby #1.

    LOL@Tooj!

    Gosh, I should have put my coffee down before reading this...

    I'm really glad your camera was found! 5,000 wines?? Goodness, you must be nearly pickled.

    I'm so glad you are enjoying your placemats. They are so cute!

    So did Texas treat you well?

    I was happy when it reached 40 on Sunday, 70 would be heaven on earth. Love the placemats, they are SO cute!

    5000 wines is beyond pickled, iggy, it's more like marinated!
