So we are getting ready and getting nervous. Well, I am getting nervous. Chris is probably nervous too but mostly he is just focused on details. I wish that I could do that.

I did buy this though. Awesome bag on clearance at Dillard’s for $14.50. I didn’t know Dillard’s could sell anything for $14.50. Love it! It will be my personal bag to go with my carry-on. We were going to just take one carry-on each and not check any bags but the stress was killing me. Ok, it wasn’t terrible stress. I just didn’t like thinking about how to take the very least and still be happy with what I took. I also didn’t relish clothes shopping in Paris, where I am convinced that everything female is a size 5 or less. Not my size since… forever.

We’ve also put a few estate things in writing, just in case. Basically everything is to be sold except pictures, journals, handmade things, heirlooms. The money is to be split evenly and Tully goes to April. Tempest’s fate is less certain. He’d probably kill anyone who tried to touch him. He’s pretty much a two person cat. He’s also 15 and VERY set in his ways. Don’t take it personally. He’s mean to us too, sometimes.

It snowed here today. Snowed a lot… for here. Did you know that snow is cold? Especially if you touch it? I know, who would of thought? But it is. I have a new found respect for those people who make things out of snow with their hands. I made the littlest of snowmen today and that was all I could muster without very uncomfortableness occurring in my hands. What a wimp!

Anyways… it snowed here today. Big, happy, fluffy flakes. It was pretty.

It really isn’t that bad but they closed school early today and we aren’t starting until 10 tomorrow. So I’m not complaining. My students have been hardly tolerable of late so home time is nice.

Tully didn’t really like the snow. Especially when her booty got close to it.

A little over a week ago it snowed here.

Today it is in the mid 70’s and sunny. Lovely, so I took a few pictures of some things I finished knitting recently.

A pair of socks. It only took about 6 months to actually finish both but I did put them away for awhile and didn’t start the second one until January.

A second, cabled, neck warmer. It is very soft.

It is supposed to be below freezing with a high of around 39 on Tuesday with a high percentage of precipitation. The weather.

I don’t know what it is about this commercial but it just kills me. I actually rewound TiVo a few times to watch it and I never watch commercials.

Have you seen it? It was really lovely. Watch the trailer.

I bought the album. They are wonderful.
