Just shy of getting my one month button.

Apparently I decided subconsciously to drop off the face of the planet of a month or so, well the blog side anyway. Not that I'm daring to compete with others who have achieved months of unrelenting blog neglect (*cough* Condo Princess *cough*) but I blame the holidays and a general sense of malaise and apathy for my absence. Can you forgive me?

Anyway, to get back on the blog horse, here's a couple of photos that have me feeling inspired despite the tragic cold and horrendous amounts of snow.

Oh, and for those in need of a dose of winter blues cure in the form of all things adorable and doggy, check out the decor-complementing puppies that Dooce, Fussy and Pioneer Woman got recently, and the ever satisfying Daily Coyote. Mmmm, puppy breath.
