East Coast Winter, feels years long.

Let me break the ice cause it's been a while...I feel that this blog is always helping me pour my emotions out in times of need and that's why I've picked up writing here again. Things right now are not good and they're not bad- they're stationary. I still haven't decided/applied to grad school...I still haven't been on a vacation...approaching my relationships 11 year mark and we're still not decided on the future we want or we have an we're both too tired to act on it. Sometimes seeing things written down allow you to review your actions closely and hopefully, make changes about your situation. That's my hope for this blog- I hope it helps me change my current situation. Any encouragement is welcomed and appreciated! I promise this won't be all doom and gloom- I love food and I'm sure it will pop up here too- especially baking overly sweet specimens! I'm also hoping this blog pushes me to be more extroverted, forcing me to try/do things to add here. Here's to being hopeful!

Work is kind of crazy right now too. It's winter so I spend my days going to work and then home. About 90% of my life is spent in my office and it's driving me mad. I just can't seem to kick this rut and all I get is more snow dumped on me. I hate that it's dark when I go to work and dark before I leave my office. It's cold and icy and that makes it difficult to go anywhere or do anything. I'm just not motivated and that's flowing into my work and that's flowing into my life since right now my life is work...so yeah...you can see where I'm going here. Most of my life right now is spent doing this:
And my mornings have been greeted with this:

On a lighter side...it almost Valentines Day and I looooove Valentines Day! I was able to make some love cookies for my Boy Friend ("CT") last night, which worked out well since the East Coast was getting a beating from an ice storm and my other option consisted of more laying on the couch. I think they turned out quite nice!
