Winter storm ready

So, many of us on the east coast are seeing snow pile up faster than we've seen in a couple of years. Almost like the time we were hit with snowmageddon and snowpocalypse. Here are few things that I am using, wearing or doing to keep myself sane and warm in this winter storm. Ha almost rhymes lol.

 

A must are my fleece snowflake jammies from Target last year :) A delicious cup of hot chocolate. Movies/TV shows either on Netflix or DVDs. A good book or books to read. Toradora Manga and Calvin and Hobbes It's a Magical World comic book. The laptop is a black Macbook 13". Sadly they don't sell MacBooks in black anymore but I can always find a cover on Amazon if I ever need one.  Candles burning in the background & Doggies playing in the snow or resting after playing in it. 

Stay safe and warm out there friends! It's snowzilla! 

What's in my bag?

I'm such a sucker for the "What's in my bag" videos or blogposts. Curiosity gets the best of me to know what we carry on our bags on a daily basis. So, I got this lovely, fits everything I need bag from Le Tote. I first got it in one my Tote boxes, returned it but then realized I missed that bag because it just fit my lifestyle. It's a BCBGeneration Tote bag with long shoulder straps and a rather spacious zip pocket inside. Great for days when I am too much of a hurry to put a pen or lady item in it's own small bag. 

I have my iPad and a Star Trek cover my awesome mama made for me with the names of our dogs  and favorite movies sewn on. The composition notebook is my planner, Ray Ban sunnies, Sweet Pea travel cream, Tokidoki zip bag, Totoro zip bag, Toradora manga book 1, handkerchief from my lovely grandma, a lollipop and a mint chocolate bar. 

Planner looksie and the collection of Paper Mate pens that I use to keep it colorful and organized. :) 

Tokidoki bag contains the YesTo facial wipes for those days when I need to freshen up, a glasses lens wipe, Burts Bees lip balm (great stuff!), Avon lip gloss, Nars lip pencil, Olive oil hand cream, and sweet pea hand sanitizer. The cough drops are a must in my bag whether I have a cold or not because laryngitis sometimes sneaks up on me and its adios voice for the day or week. A girl doesn't leave the house without her clippies or hair ties, it's a must in every handbag. The small bags I got a while ago and I'm not sure they have them in stock anymore. If I find them I'll be sure to link them here. Till next time! :)

Just one

Why do you taunt me

With your slick lines and cool moves?

Every time that I see you, I ache

Knowing that all I can do

Is watch

Not touch.

I just hope to one day

Feel your hand on my face 

And maybe then that blasted 

Tear will come down.

The sun’s rays keep me warm

My heart holds its beat

But then you appear

The orchestra goes out of tune.

Slowly I catch my breath 

Feels like I just ran a marathon.

So many questions come to mind

I just know the answers will hurt me 

Thankfully, my angel came

The pitter-patter of tears 

Failed to come rolling down my cheek.

His arms embracing me, his heart

And mine beat as one.

Now that he is here

There’s no need 

For your presence to hurt me anymore

My angel, my best friend arrived.

Everything changed

My life, now, has a different meaning.

I am indebted to him 

For helping me find 

A new pebble of hope,

One that reminded me of the pearly keys

From the grand piano.

His tune calmed me

Kept me happy

Maybe someday I will let that one tear go

Or maybe it already has gone with the 

Tears of joy when my angel came back.

written by yours truly.
