Winter Wonderland (?)
Friday, December 08, 2006On Monday afternoon we had a terrible and unexpected snowstorm blow through, leaving many people stranded and Mr. C and the babe not getting home until almost 8 o'clock at night. By Tuesday morning, the sun was shining and the snowman was bowing to us from the backyard, while this litle fellow chippered away at the seeds I had tossed outside. The irony of the storm, given the work I was doing that day, well...leave it at that.
The snow has since melted and now we await another snow later today. So much for a nice evening out.
The week has been full, as more and more concerts and preparations for Christmas are underway. I am trying to cram in as much writing and research as I can before I take a complete break from it all. I was supposed to attend a meeting tomorrow (yes, Saturday) but I bowed out, giving an excuse. Because when it comes right down to it, my family is more important than listening to reseachers blab about the significance of cattle urination and defecation on plant decay rates. Don't you think?
This lovely mug and coffee (delicious, I might add!) couldn't have come at a better time. I picked the package up from the mailbox just before the storm on Monday began. How appropriate! Your package might have been an omen, Connie.

good for you for bowing out of the boring meeting. If i was there, and i could see what you can see through the window, i'd stay inside for weeks :)
