52 self portraits // a thousand threads
This is a pretty accurate depiction of the last week… wrapped up in every scarf, hat, and blanket we have in an effort to escape the cold that somehow manages to seep in no matter the number on the thermostat.

Beyond the cold, we’ve been riding the roller coaster of emotions that is selling/buying a house… with some not so good news. The house we fell in love with (despite ourselves, since they wouldn’t take a contingent offer and here we are with a house…) sold out from under us. We weren’t worried, since it had been on the market for over a year and the agent had assured us she’d be in contact if there were any offers…

Unfortunately she wasn’t. And there go our chances. But we’re trying to tell ourselves that we’ll find another as soon as the time comes. And hey, who knows… maybe it will be better. Closer to the city, no giant propane tank in the yard… there are plenty of possibilities, and right now all we can do is try to look on the bright side. (This is my day after finding out voice talking… I promise I wasn’t quite so chipper last night…)

But, on the really bright side, at least now we don’t have to be in such a hurry to sell our current home. We can wait for a good offer.

And that’s worth at least a little bit of celebration right there.

Dumplings sound like heaven in this cold, and these are so perfect.

Why “chai tea” is redundant.

Such the best news.

Will it ever be warm again?

One of the best (of many very good) tributes to David Carr.

The early spirit of blogging.

This German family.

If critics wrote about the best male director nominees the same way they write about Ava Duvernay.

This butternut mac ‘n’ tease.

This beautiful process.
