hello ocean, goodbye cloudy skies.

christmas woot, originally uploaded by tinkerellen.

check it out, it's a bazillion photos smashed into a 5x5 tile. we did so many things this past week it's hard to not feel bad making you look at 300 photos of me, and me.

starting from the left is the one, the onlys, sara and marybeth, with whom i shared a delicious outback dinner and some swell conversation about circumcision. next is my new favorite picture of the husband and me on the beach in rhode island {freezing our butts off but looking fabulous}. down to quincy market in boston {it snowed and was absolutely picturesque for half the day}. left of that is the unbrella factory, this wicked neat hippy commune in rhode island where they let you feed emuus {sp?} and buy hand knit hats.

left to that is jen and i enjoying some much needed time together, haven't seen each other since the trip to cali in june, what what?? below is the beach again, it was an amazing sky with beautiful waves and a chilly breeze. to the right is me introducing the girls to my favorite store: the body shop...year end sale, score.

and that's the trip in a 5x5 nutshell. glad to be back but man is it busy after the holidays. making up for all the ignoring of everyday things in the midst of the hussle. such is the new year.
