covet: fuji x100s

I can not pack light ever.  Whenever I travel this is what I bring in my carry on:

ipad

book (currently reading)

new york times

magazines

change of clothing (international), toothbrush

glass water bottle

snacks

dslr

scarf

I have been looking for a lightweight camera for travels and I think I found the one.  What do you think?

back to regular scheduling

So we have gotten back to our regular (hermit) schedule.  Adam has been busy with work conference trips (VA and FL x3) the last couple of months and we have gone to two countries this year (!!!).

We don't really like watching TV shows in real time.  The only ones we do watch are the Mindy Project, Mad Men and some NBC shows.  Everyone has been telling us to watch Breaking Bad and I think we started watching last year?   Adam loves it and I started to like it finally on season 4 (the last three episodes).  Very excited for the last season and a little scared.

dream vacay

the last couple of days in mount pleasant have been really weird. very cold and windy.  the day before that had lots of rain that melted the snow, then we got hit with more cold freezing the rain (making for icy, slippery roads).  thank goodness for the sun today.

I am totally wishing for a warm getaway.  Living in the cold is very hard.

So I am thinking this one piece ...

and the Turks and Caicos for my fantasy vacation getaway?

Note to Self: Bangs

Sayaka,

when you get the urge to cut yourself some blunt bangs again, don't do it.  it looks bad and you look extra fat and makes your face huge.  Thanks.

weekend

Adam is in Florida this weekend.  I am very jealous.  I want to be in miami at art basel instead of working on my final.

I am home alone thinking of the movie the 'strangers,'  hoping no one knocks on the door, as I will freak out.

I miss the husband.  He says i should clean the house but I didn't.

Winter #5

It is getting really cold in Michigan.  I do the same post every year, huh?

I can't believe this is my fifth winter in Michigan.  I think I can spot snow clouds.  Does this make me an official michigander?  

Adam is heading to a conference in Florida this weekend so not sure how I am going to spend my time.   Watch a ton of girly movies?  Also, I have a fear of sleeping alone in a house and it will be my first time in the new house.  I'm scared.
