Sorry about no post yesterday, but the server at company X is a fickle pickle and decided to block C&IC from posting. Seems to be all fixed now, so here's a quick overview of yesterday's topic: warm winter days are AWESOME! I rode to work (and back) yesterday over the Manhattan Bridge and it was gorgeous! Since moving to NY I haven't been riding as much and my morning commute taught me a few things: 1.) I am out of shape, 2.) riding in the city is not as terrifying as everyone says (please let this not be disproven to me!) and 3.) I need my seat raised like an inch and a half.
Riding into work today I learned another lesson: check the weather.
On to today: Its Thursday, its rapidly approaching Xmas, and I just found a place on my way home from work where a case of wine (a CASE!) is only $35. Holla! What does this all mean? Boozy-holiday-crafting-school-nights!! If you've got the pre-Christmas anxiety ogida, then this is my prescription for you:
1. grab a bottle (or 12) of a yummy bevida– try a merlo, cab, eggnog, or rum w/ tea
2. a best friend –or someone to intermittently make out with
3. a mix – I suggest making one chock full of motown favorites - stuff to sing along to that doesn't have anything to do with snow or holidays
4. lots of paper, glue, scissors, etc.
Most of these things can be acquired easily and over-the-counter. Check back next week for posts on what we made/what kind of drunken trouble we caused plus a last minute holiday gift guide and wishlist!!!
Later this month: Haiku week!
*SPECIAL WINTER ADDITION: SNOW!
You'de think we at C&IC would love snow, it being all whimsical and stuff, but you'd be wrong, wrong, wrong! Sure its great for the first hour or two..."oooh pretty!" But then the novelty wears off and your numb limbs some how start to feel again, and they don't like what they're feeling. Coldness! Boo! I prefer my frozen liquids to come in the form of tasty dessert treats. Todays flavor: Blackberry.
