On Sunday there was another blizzard, and we got about 2 more feet of snow on top of the 5 feet we already had. We had a relaxing day in, and my mom and I made probably the most delicious pancakes I've ever had! We used a Bisquick mix, but decided to change it up a little and added blueberries, oatmeal, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and almonds. They were so amazing! And we also made some mimosas to go along with the pancakes. Check out how amazing they looked...
After enjoying the pancakes, my dad and I took our dog out and played in the snow a little bit. My dog is a labradoodle and being half poodle, she usually hates going in any type of water, snow included. But on Sunday, the lab side of her came out and she loved playing in the snow! It was so adorable watching her run around and have so much fun!

Since it was so snowy, we couldn't do too much, so we relaxed and watched a bunch of movies. Over the weekend, I watched Gone Girl, 22 Jump Street, My Life In Ruins, and Let's Be Cops. I really enjoyed all of the movies! I had seen 22 Jump Street before and loved watching it again. My favourite was Gone Girl because I thought it really stayed true to the book, the acting was amazing, and it was so suspenseful!

| This weekend was also Valentine's Day, so we exchanged gifts! I got some delicious chocolate and a scratch ticket that won $10! |
On Monday, before heading to the bus station, my mom and I went to see 50 Shades of Grey. We both read the books, and the movie was actually better than we expected! It wasn't as graphic as the book, but I thought they portrayed the story well, and I think Dakota Johnson did a great job playing Ana.
Now I'm back in New York City, settling back into the work week after a nice weekend at home. I saw that Massachusetts got even more snow today and is expecting more this week, so I can't even imagine how crazy it will be a week from now! I'm pretty grateful New York City hasn't been hit with the same amounts of snow as Boston. And on the bright side, it's getting closer and closer to Spring, so hopefully it will start warming up soon!
