january is the coldest month, yes it is

you know, the winter isn't as bad as i imagined it would be. new yorkers would always say 'you just wait til the winter' ... don't get me wrong, it's flippin' cold. just the other day i said 'oh wow! it's going to be warm tomorrow' when i saw it was going to be 31°, so yes, it's cold.
but we wear layers of clothing & both have warm coats. end of story.
saturday we had ourselves a day out and about town as well as some play time in the snow. i tried to recreate a few scenes from love story -- video to follow.

i guess you can say we've become regulars at bedford hill, a little (good) coffee/bagel shop walking distance from our place. the last couple weekends, what we do is walk to b.h get coffee and eat our bagels, then we walk 2 more blocks to dough & share a remarkably puffy & light donut.

being home where it's nice and cozy is so nice when it's freezing outside. i really need to figure out a way i could work from home. our two boys are just the sweetest guys. they start purring when we're near them, i think it's b/c they're so happy we are home.
coop has this sinister look on his face sometimes, i love getting a picture of it! (don't mind his beer belly hanging over his hind legs, he he)

& rozzy loves his sun spot on the edge of the counter. i busted him smelling the roses today (which are so hard to come by this time of year! can't believe i took having fresh flowers anytime in LA for granted! )

i love that one of him stretching :)

coop does this thing now, where he begs to go outside. it's very cute/sad. he just sits by the door & makes theses pitiful 1/2 meows. we give in & let him roam the halls at least once a day. (notice my new opening ceremony/doc martens nate got for me, at an unbelievable price!)

nate's parents ordered a pillow for me as a present for xmas & it just arrived last wk! how fun is that?!
you think christmas is over, but then you get this treat from le train fantome.

today's morning was a repeat of yesterday (except for we threw away half a donut, chocolate & chipotle is as unappetizing as it sounds) & we found&bought a really cute bench for our house. downside we had to take 2 trains & walk a mile in 18°weather. (it was not as hard as it sounds) we think it'll be really fun to tell our grandchildren how we had to walk our furniture five miles home in two feet of snow.
(nate instantly deleted all the food pics off his iphoto, when questioned he said he just hates pictures of food, they look gross to him... )

i dare you to look at this & tell me it looks gross... (actually, it does look gross, but it's so good! cucumber&dill whipped cream cheese w/ avocado & red onion on a toasted whole wheat bagel)

my new twisted hair-do using two bobbie pins.

we ordered dinner to be delivered, while it's a really nice thing to be able to do, it's really awful seeing the delivery guy ride off on his bike (remember, 18° or lower! weather).

nate is playing the most beautiful song on the guitar & is in the beginning stages of recording, we really need tomorrow off too...wish it snowed even more so we couldn't get to work...(wow, what am i, 11 years old?)
i have to go wake our kitties up, they fell asleep in our warm clean laundry, that still needs to be folded.
also, i am going to color my hair a darker shade of blonde tonight... i'll let you know how that goes.
have a great week!
*i flooded you with all these photos to make up for not updating the last while.
if you leave a comment & have a favorite photo from this post, i'd love to know which one!
good bye friends from all over the world
