Can't believe yet another year has passed - I remember this time last year the boy and I went to dimsum with Matt, Mae and their 3 girls.
This year... well I will celebrate it a week late, but it'll be in NYC with my BFF and my parents. I cannot wait!
And as a consolation I did a small Old Navy and J.Crew purchase over the weekend.
On another note, as a fun activity, you can check out your 2009 Chinese Horoscope for 2009 here.

Failed: road trip
The planned road trip to Charlotte N.C. did not happen as intended.
Da boy and I woke up at 4 a.m. so that we can be on the road by 6. That we accomplished.
We ran into freezing rain 5 mins into our drive, it came *splat splat splat* down the windshield, but we continue to crawl on doing only 45mph on I44 heading to I64.
Right past Scott AFB it got worst. We saw cars after cars flipped or spun off on the side of the interstate. At one point, there was even a pickup truck that was at a complete standstill in the middle of I64, the traffic had to swerve to avoid hitting it.
Da boy drove even slower.
Finally we exited at Lake Carlyle and pulled up at a McD to rest our nerves and to wait things out. Applying brakes was futile, I can just hear the ABS forcing the wheel to go *thunk thunk thunk*. And the McD parking lot was a sheer sheet of ice.
After a hearty but unhealthy breakfast and almost 1 hour later, we got back on I64. We both made a joint decision to abandon this road trip - the radar shows all PINK (ice/sleet) from IL to IN to KY, which are in our driving paths.
At around 10 a.m. we pulled into our garage, safe and sound. Tired. Back to square one.
Shortly after that, we saw on the news that I64 was closed at Rt 158 due to accidents. Thank god we left when we did. It would not be fun to be caught stuck in the middle of no where in IL.
On a happier note, the last minute plane tickets are real cheap now for some reason.

Hunter Aubergine
Finally bit the bullet and got the Hunter Original Wellies in Aubergine. This was after months and months of lemming.
I was going to get the Navy color at first, but BFF talked me into Aubergine. It is more unique after all. She has the original Hunter green version and it is very original and very cute on her.
Pardon the tag that is still hanging off the side of the boots, I was very excited and wanted to try these on ASAP. My knees look exceptionally chubby. That's okay. The smell of the new rubber boots is making me high. Hah.

new toy
This post deserves some more explanation.
I flew up to Chicago one beautiful Tuesday morning. Took a cab to Westmont to check out the car that I saw on Autotrader. I liked what I saw, so I signed the papers.
Before making the 4-hour drive back to St. Louis, my salesperson and I taped up the front end with painters tape to prevent rock chips. Yep, painters tape from Target. The tape comes off clean, and I did a quick detailer spray wax over the taped portion.
On a side note Westmont IL must be where the monies are. On my way to the dealership, I saw the following dealerships: Ferrari, Maserati, Land Rover, Lexus, Toyota, BMW, Audi (where I was), Mercedes, Lamborghini, Porsche. I thought I died and gone to heaven. Haha.

Lazy sunday morning. Breakfast and mags.
Home alone this morning, having 2 cups of coffee along with a bowl of cereal.
Going thru my fashion magazines from the past 6 months, tearing out pages that I want to keep, and filing them away for my own DIY "look book".
