Anything but snow....

It is bitter out there.... -12 but with the wind chill feels more like -20!  have i mentioned how bored i am with this winter!!!!!  It is just so uninviting to try and go for a walk today!!! 

treated myself to these potted tulips yesterday....they are going to be stunning, and all for $7!!!   how can you resist.   Spent yesterday up in Sydney doing "Holiday" shopping!   what fun, well except for the bathing suit exploration....now that was a bit scary!!!   luckily i don't scare too easily and managed to find what i was looking for.....thank god i've lost about 11 lbs.....can't imagine how much worse it could have been :)   i'm not really that worried.....and with just over a week and half till we head to the beaches of Cuba, maybe i can shift another 2-3 lbs!
