Urban Girl Almanac: Rainy Days

Whew! This week was short, but it was intense. Here’s what I learned:

• I hate going to the climbing gym when it is crowded in January.
• Giving Comcast the boot felt SO GOOD!
• This angled brush is my new favorite make-up tool.
• My Marimekko umbrella is holding up like a champ in the storm.
• My first attempt at cooking a roast chicken almost went perfectly, I accidentally put it in upside down. It took a minute for Rob and I to figure out what was wrong with the bird when carving.
• The combo plate is worth the couple dollars more it costs than a falafel at Truly Med.
• Going without a car during the storm of the year is challenging.
• Being a native Californian, I’m a big wimp when it comes to weather. The wind gusts this morning were so scary and we’re on for lightning tonight…yikes.
• These little floss picks are helping me with another New Year’s resolution. I just take one with me when I read in bed.
• Did you remember to send your thank you notes for holiday gifts and parties?

With our lack of a car and this terrible weather, it is shaping up to be a quiet weekend. I only want to rest, get a pedicure and see a movie.
