Dear Snow,
You’re kind of pretty, how you grace the branches and give a nice, bright, clean look to the neighborhood. And I really appreciate you being here for Christmas to give us a more festive feel to the day. But now, I’m kind of over you.
Twenty-eight inches last week was fun. It made for a [...]
I’ve decided that it is decidedly un-coo to tell everyone you got a vacuum cleaner for Christmas. That is why I must justify just how coo Herbert is (calling him merely a vacuum is so far below himself that it’s insulting) here.
We came home on Tuesday and immediately introduced Herbert to our house. Closing off [...]
So, you know those annoying car commercials where the wife is going through her stocking and lo and behold! A car key! And in the driveway? A new car with a big red bow! And how everyone who sees those commercials wonders WHO ACTUALLY DOES THAT?
Apparently my in-laws do.
Shortly after I opened my roomba (which [...]
Hope you’re all having a wonderful Christmas. It’s been a great day, and I did get my roomba (who’s charging right now but soon will spell death to all of the Christmas tree needles on my in-laws’ floor). It’s been a great day even though I do miss my family and all of our little [...]
We’ve spent the past 2.5 hours shoveling and have barely made it to the street. Good thing we shoveled yesterday and the day before! Or not, because that apparently has made not a lick of difference.
Now I’m soaked with snow, I’m cold, I have blisters from the shovel, my elbow feels like it’s popping out [...]
Ok, yesterday? When I spent more time in the car than I did at actual work? That was cute and all. But now? As it CONTINUES to snow? Not so cute. Observe the semi truck in my driveway:
Oh, wait. That’s not a semi truck. That’s the Xterra.
Perhaps we should go have a margarita [...]
It snowed.
And continues to snow.
I’m snowed in, which is good. But snowed out of the store, which is bad, because I intended to do all of my Christmas baking today or tomorrow.
Bah.
I can’t have a Christmas tree without thinking back to Christmas trees of my youth and the memories of the whole tree process with my family. It seems like I should have some joyous vision of us tramping off, National Lampoon-style, into the woods to chop down our tree every year. But usually the tree [...]
May I present:
YES! A Christmas tree. IN MY OWN HOME. I’m starting to feel some of that Christmas Spirit, finally. And with only a week until Christmas, not a moment too soon.
My weekend was spent wrapping a mountain of presents. Ok, maybe not my entire weekend. And maybe not really a mountain, either, but it [...]
If you know me personally, then I have some good/bad/exciting/terrifying news for you.
You’re pregnant.
Unless you’re of the male persuasion, of course, and then it’s your ovary-bearing partner who’s blessed/cursed/peeing a lot.
Kind of like global warming, it started gradually and without much fanfare. A pregnancy here, a baby shower there. Suddenly, though, I’m on red-alert; it’s [...]
