[Photo a Day: Something you're listening to.]

And now, for the most anticlimactic final photo of this February Photo a Day challenge...tadaaa!

Thus concludes the #febphotoaday challenge.
I suppose I'll have to start blogging about real things again.
See all of the pics here, if you're stalkerishly inclined.
Was it good for you?

[Photo a Day: Money.]

...or lack thereof.

[Photo a Day: Something you ate.]

My diet last week consisted of all the treats I brought home from Manhattan: Levain cookies, Magnolia cupcakes, Laduree macarons... So today marked the start of my post-NYC detox. Salad for lunch, fruit for dinner. There may also have been a Potbelly oatmeal chocolate chip cookie thrown in there somewhere, but I don't really remember. Today also most likely marked the end of my post-NYC detox. Back to normal programming tomorrow.

[Photo a Day: Green and Night.]

green

Yesterday we snuck away from real life for a little afternoon matinee, during which I gracefully inhaled an entire bag of Sour Patch Kids for lunch. I left him maybe three.

night

...what happens when I'm left to fend for myself for the first night in days. Moped around the kitchen for a while, hoping my roommates would feed me, eventually acquired a slice of bread and a soda, and I'm now curled up watching the Oscars in bed. #savemilan

[Photo a Day: (the lost days)]

Playing a little catch up with my Photos a Day and general blogging. I was in New York for five days and only had time for frolicking and brunching. Please excuse my absence.

time

The clock and twinkly lights in Chelsea Market. Magical. The stuff of fairies.

drink

Hot chocolate with Lauren for her birthday!

something you hate to do

Curling my hair in Mikey's bathroom. Burned my finger immediately after taking this photo. Hate, I tell you. HATE. My hair looks like a mess all the time for a reason, people. (Have you ever even seen me with. a. straight. part? No.)

handwriting

People who know to sign cards with a line from my favorite movie. Love.

a fave photo of you

Twirling. Dress. Foliage. Smiling. A fave photo of a fave moment. She was happy right here.

where you work

Just me in ma office. My space heater and Mexican skeletons keep me company. And of course I have an office wand, don't you?

shoes

Just a glamour photo of my feet today. Normal.

Glad we're all caught up now. You have no idea how much this has been weighing on me.

[Photo a Day: Something new.]

New haircut. She chopped about 5x the "inch and a half" I very explicitly instructed. 

Basically bald. 

Goodbye, princess hair.

I hate everything.

[Photo a Day: Heart.]

As always, my lovely Steph was here for me today. A Darth Vader candy dispenser? It's like she knows me or something... Dearest Estefania, thank you for being my love, this year, last year, and every day before and in between.

[Photo a Day: Sun.]

There wasn't much sun in DC today...but there was a Spike's Sunnyside burger at Good Stuff Eatery.

P.S. Bizarre Milan fact: I just started eating burgers this summer, and the one pictured here is literally the only burger in the world I'll eat.

[Photo a Day: Button.]

Nothing wrong with big gold buttons on my winter coat. Nothing at all.

[Photo a Day: Stranger.]

Against my will, Channing Tatum continues to be a stranger to me.
I intend to remedy this, eventually.

[Photo a Day: Hands.]

This #febphotoaday taken at the Kennedy Center, where I was taken by a wonderful friend to see La Bayadère by American Ballet Theatre this evening. We watched Devon, one of my bests, perform her first solo with ABT -- she absolutely dazzled. I have a serious case of tutu envy right now...where does one acquire such an item, for, you know, twirling, etc.?

[Photo a Day: Words.]

Near the close of what may have been the saddest week of this little girl's life, walking through a door wrapped in pink paper into a room completely draped in pink streamers, with the most perfect presents and note waiting for me too, was really the sweetest surprise I could ever ask for at a time like this. It made me smile, and at this moment, that means the world. I have the best people. To my wonderful loves D & W, and all the others who have been and continue to be here for me right now, at a time when there are no other words...THANK YOU.
