It snowed today, and I’m not making that up. Flurries all over the place, like a crazy man starting a pillow fight for no reason other than to play with people’s heads.

Rather than dwell on the cold, I conjured up what little inner sunshine I could find and dreamed of brighter days — spring is almost here! Each season I like to shop for ways to celebrate the arrival of a new time. Things change so quickly and seasons seem to fly by faster than ever, so here are a few items I’d love to incorporate into my own life.  Let the spring celebration begin!:

One of my April goals is to get dressed more. You know, in real clothes. And whoa, I picked the wrong month to do this b/c it’s quite hard to move boxes in heels. But you know what? I don’t care. Because it’s also mighty fun, and I can take more breaks to rest my feet this way. Bonus!

Here’s what I wore today:

After unpacking endless amounts of boxes, I don’t want to see another decorative item for as long as I live.

Except for this one, because come on. Look at those gams! ($28)

1. Carey Mulligan’s hair (must grow out my pixie stat!).
2. The smell of Caldrea countertop spray, which I may or may not have sprayed on my wrists as perfume today.
3. The heavy rain setting on my Sleep Machine Lite app.
4. Baby porpoises.

1. If you put a parrot on an average dress, it is no longer average.
2. These people are nude, but you can’t tell, so this is automatically arty.
3. A light bulb over a pile of dirt? Also automatically arty.

This print is the price of 30 tacos. Or 15 if you order the fancy kind (of tacos).

OK, so I like spring and all, but when Esteban sent over this image, my heart beat for summer thunderstorms, plastic porch furniture and sweet tea. I’m ready.

Holy moly. Thanks for your patience, friends — this move has been a crazy one. Photographic evidence above and update below:

1. Photo shoot went extraordinarily well, although we had two near all-nighters prepping for the crew to arrive. Because we’re procrastinators. And crazy.
2. Moving day also came and passed without a hitch. There are now roughly six square feet of surface area in our home that do not have a box resting upon it. In other words, I’ll be rather silent this week as I dig myself out of the cardboard. Like a mole. Or beaver. I can’t remember which animal is worse at that kind of thing.
3. My email inbox is insane, so if you’ve sent me a note, (a) I love you, and (b) I’m sorry for not responding in a timely manner. Blame it on the mole-like fingers that make typing difficult. Or something.
4. I haven’t slept much, so does this post make sense? Feel free to copy edit in the comment section.
5. The aforementioned email inbox has an incredible amount of awesome art/design submissions resting in it, so this week I’ll be back to posting the awesome. In between shots of espresso and clearing away massive amounts of clutter so I can find my shoes again.

And next week? Next week I’ll be completely on top of my game. Perhaps.

Oh my gracious. That M. Fay is a genius. Happy weekend, friends!
