Getting some fresh air in chilly Aberdeen

It probably won't shock you to hear that things have been pretty low-key for me since we got back to Aberdeen. Yep! The cold and dreary weather just isn't doing it for me, so I've decided it's better for me to stay inside, in bed, in the bath or under the electric blanket, and wait out the remainder of the winter.

You know, it's been snowing almost every day for a couple weeks here, but until earlier this week, nothing stuck...






I had every intention of making my 9:30 coffee date—showered, blow-dried, half makeup (no mascara), basically a HUGEE deal—but due to the overnight snow and ice, it was unfortunately cancelled.

Instead of throwing in the towel and climbing back into bed for some good ol' netflix time, I decided to do something COMPLETELY unlike myself and continue to get dressed and head out the door even though I didn't have to go anywhere anymore. . .





To be honest, I really needed the fresh air. I've been such a sloth for weeks and it was time for me to make my weekly appearance to the "sun." In an attempt to give my outing a bit more direction, I headed over to our neighborhood delicatessen to grab a latte and a loaf of bread. After that, I just wandered around.






Plenty of times I've looked around a thought, 'maybe I should take a few photos of my new hood', but nothing ever looked that appealing to me. I don't know if it was the overcast sky or the white icy streets—or a combination of both—but I felt like everything just had a glow about it. I guess it's all about finding beauty in the ordinary, right?
