I was lucky enough to have this entire week off of work, which meant I could come home for nine uninterrupted days to relax and spend the holidays with my family.
Then my bestie, Molly, who lives in Minneapolis and whom I never get to see, was going to be in New York for less than 48 hours, right in the middle of my week off.
Without even thinking I booked a two-day trip back to New York to see her.

Wednesday morning it was snowing lightly, but that quickly turned to clumps of slush careening from the sky, accelerated by violent winds and a bitter, bitter cold.
We could have given up and sat around my apartment lazily, bemoaning the inclement weather.
But we didn't.
Besides wisely canceling our foray into the Bronx world of late-night fish dealing (we took a raincheck for warmer weather) we did everything we'd set out to do.

We even added impromptu drinks in midtown with a grad school friend of mine.
Our parents thought we were crazy for running off on Christmas day to see each other in New York for such a short time, but that's just what Molly and I do. And now we get to add Eliza to our fun tradition!

Some people have fair weather friends; I have friends who turn up even in the foulest of weather.

I had no idea there was even such a thing as korean BBQ food but that sounds delicious.
That sounds pretty much like my LEAST favorite kind of weather. Ugh slush is the worst. Snow is pretty but slush just gets over everything and then windy on top of that, I most definitely feel bad for you. Except not really though because I'm totally and completely jealous you were in New York.
You guys are all so cute. You can tell they're are sisters because I think they look like each other.
