The Rebirth of Fresh.: Snowpocalypse in San Antonio?

Full disclosure. I hate cold weather. I especially hate snow. That's why I will only live anywhere that has a record of moderately warm temperatures throughout the year....like Florida or southern Texas. Needless to say that when I heard on the news that San Antonio would be getting "SNOW FLURRIES", I really didn't pay it much attention because they said the same thing about this time last year and nothing happened. Well the snow flurries came...along with lots of ice and that's how the city got shut down today. Argh! My kids were happy though....

Meanwhile, my family has been fighting a viral infection that seems to be going from one person to the next, hence my lack of blogging over the past few days...but it's still impossible for me to stay away from the internet completely. Here are a few things that have kept me entertained in between my fever-induced days in bed:

The Vintage Cabin has a great tour of her mom's house in Toronto...wonderfully vintage and seems so comfy.

Tracy over at Shutterbean has made some amazing juices...I still haven't bought a juicer yet, but seeing her yummy-looking concoctions has motivated me to get off my rear.

Style Like U is, in my opinion, the best fashion blog out there. Real people with real style and no one really looks like they are starving themselves, constantly brooding, or ridiculously posed.

...and they go to the person's home to do "closet" interviews...loves it!

Sarah Jessica of Magnolia Family Vintage and her accompanying blog, Sarah Hates Pants has been a favorite of mine for at least the past year when I discovered that she was a part of the team that organized the Austin Rock N' Swap that I attended last year...and I am so happy that she has started tweeting regularly again, because her tweets are the some of the funniest I read all day.

...and I nearly died when I realized a couple of weeks ago that she reads my blog regularly and we share the same birthday. We should become friends...
