so cute, so creative.

She set this baby Christmas tree up in her room and used her VERY large jewelry collection to decorate it. It was so funny and the tree looks quite festive. How clever! Of course, she then needed a photo shoot :) I hope I'm this cool when I'm 68.

let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Friends, coffee, newspapers, faint music, and

A LOT of snow falling outside the window :)

I'm really enjoying the slowness of these days! Life is so good.

funny day off

Unlike the rest of the world, I work on the weekend. So my "weekend" thus becomes Tuesday & Wednesday. So trying to make these two random days off feel as fun as the normal weekend has the potential to be, has become quite interesting. Yesterday was one of the best days off yet! I went hiking, in the rain. We thought about not going, due to the rain, but hey - this is our day off and we need to take advantage! So we went. The picture to the right is my friend Matt, jumping and trying to "kick down dead trees". A second after this shot, he fell flat on his ass. So funny.

Other little funny things happened in the day, but I won't bore you with those details. Instead I will fast forward to drinking wine with friends then deciding to go to the bowling alley because it's just $1 on Tuesday's! The DD put us in the car and off we went. Low and behold - the bowling alley sells pitchers of beer! (See, Tuesday night CAN be as fun as Saturday night - this story is living proof!) Anywho - we got drinking and bowling. Then I had an epiphany! I realized I'm a better bowler the more I drink! As you can see from my photo of the scores...I got a turkey! (For non-bowlers: 3 strikes in a row) How exciting! Something not as exciting occurred next, as I bowled two gutter balls right in a row. Oh well, you can't win 'em all right? A fun night, filled with trash talking, laughter, and nacho's, was had by all :)
