Is there anyone else who instantly wants to move wherever they visited last? Maybe I just don't get out much but after visiting
most places I've been, I return ready to move there. This weekend it happens to be the Poconos in Pennsylvania. We made a quick trip up this weekend for Drew's bff's birthday festivities and it was lovely. The snow certainly helped. I'm so jealous of all places that have snow right now. Once we were back in Virginia today it was all stupid freezing rain. Blah!
Here's the only pic I took
with a stranger's phone and promptly texted to myself because her phone took much better pictures than mine in the kerosene lit cabin. The trip was lovely and I'm so glad we went.
Oh, and also before you throw away all the Christmas cards you received this year (am I too late???) I have a suggestion:
I started doing this last year: combining all of my cards together and tying them with a ribbon. It's so fun to look at them next year. And it's a great reference point for remembering who you need to send cards to. Please don't start e-mailing Christmas cards, that is depressing. Green? Yes. But also lazy. And what on this earth is better than getting snail mail???? I'll tell you: NOTHING, that's what. Plus, the USPS could use our help!!
Where would you like to move? I'm always open to suggestions. Heck, if you take me there to visit I'll probably wanna move with ya!
Keep warm readers! And have a kick-ass week!
For the holidays, we went to Palm Spring and Los Angeles for two weeks. It was great to get a blast of California sunshine, and a few funny things happened during our trip...Read More >
When I posted about the fireplace movie this week, a reader told me that Norway has a show about knitting. People shearing a sheep and then knitting for hours. That's it. The show is part of a movement called "slow but noble television." 
The New York Times has an amazing slideshow of Yayoi Kasuma's current exhibition—“I Who Have Arrived in Heaven"—at the David Zwirner Gallery in New York.
The infinity room is actually the size of a walk-in closet, but it feels much bigger because of 75 colored LED bulbs and mirror-lined walls.
The lines can circle the block. (When we stopped by last week, people had been waiting for more than four hours!)
And each person get just 45 seconds in the room. When we were there, the docent told us that some people don't know their limits and get freaked out—even busting out of the room in a panic. Others told the New York Times it was "ethereal" and "meditative."
The show is open until December 21st. Would you want to go?
