Hello and happy weekend! How are you guys?
We met with the dog sitter around lunch time today. She seems very sweet and I’m sure Thor will be in good hands when we go on vacation. That’s one more thing we can cross off our list of things to do before Hawaii. We bought a new camera for under water shots, we got new snorkeling gear, we ordered water shoes just the other day and we filled out our TSA yesterday. Dog sitter was kinda the last thing to think about. 
After that, we drove to New Canaan. I was looking for new sneaker with no luck and then we had an amazing lunch. I made a lot of requests and basically created my own dish. Three poached eggs, potato, greens and bacon with a side of toast. It was awesome. We got pretty tired after all that food, so Jim (and Thor) is napping right now. I just made myself a latte instead on our espresso machine. I still haven’t got a hang on it. It’s a little different from when I worked as a barista. It looks and tastes as a latte, but I can’t make the art (you know, a heart or a leaf or something). Maybe it’s because I use almond milk or maybe I need a slightly smaller steamer. Soy milk was always harder when I worked in cafe’s. I’ll figure it out eventually:)
Have a beautiful weekend!

Holy moly macarony it’s cold outside. It was snowing all day yesterday. No cars or people outside basically all day. Everything stood still. We got snow up to my knees. Thor was too small to walk in the snow so we had to carry him to places where they had managed to shovel some of it. Today is really really cold. I took Thor out earlier and he can’t even stand on the ground. He’s just shaking and looks so sad. I tried to take him to shoveled places but unless there is tons of salt there is still a lot of snow. And the salt isn’t good for dogs paws so I don’t want him to walk on that too much either (and I don’t want to put boots on him). Poor little baby, he couldn’t do his business. He was just in my arms shaking and almost weeping. He has a lot of fluff but underneath all that there is nothing. 

This weekend we will meet with a new dog sitter and then also plan what we want to do on our vacation so we don’t miss something. With this weather outside I can’t wait til we are going to Hawaii! The countdown has begun:)

Good morning from a very white and windy Stamford. The snow that came last weekend was almost gone yesterday and this morning we woke up to a snowstorm. Jim and plenty of other people are working from home today. Yoga classes are cancelled today as well. Basically the whole city is cancelled today.

I will do some stuff on my computer now in the morning and then later go to the gym. I barely worked out during the whole month of December (plus ate a lot during Christmas and New Years) and I was sick a lot in November, so I feel really out of shape. We are going on vacation soon and I know we will be active there and for that reason I want to get back into better shape to be able to explore everything we want:) 

I haven’t updated you guys in a while, so since the weather is like this, I will get some posts up for you today. 

This was two hours ago. Now it’s 3x worse outside

Last day of 2017. 
Until a few years ago, I never thought about New Years as being a new start of things. I had ongoing dreams and goals I was working towards and I didn’t need a new year to tell me to push harder or to change anything. 
Half way through 2014, I decided to quit my job in the company and take a break. I thought it would last for a couple of months, but it’s been over 3 years now. A struggle for sure and instead of “finding myself” (omg, I hate that expression), I just got more confused. 
In the end of last year I had a strong will to let our move to Stamford be a kick-start for myself. I let my creative mind go free and I pictured things about our life in a new city. But, I really didn’t know anything about this place and things turned out to be very different and instead of pushing through and change the picture I had in mind, my motivation ran out. 
I wrote in the beginning of the year that I had a strong feeling that 2017 would be an awesome year, that I had the same strong feeling like I did going into 2013, but I think that was just more of a wish than a true feeling. I don’t have any specific feeling about 2018. But I do believe that the new year will bring some awesomeness…. because I’m gonna make it that way. 2017 was just whatever, and I want things to be more exciting than that.
So the whole thing of New Years being a new start of things, that’s something I think more about now than before. Cause I think I need that motivation.
How was your 2017? Do you have any wishes or New Years resolutions for 2018?
