It's snowing! It's finally snowing! We've been living in this pleasant-but-creepy mid-forties universe for some time now and I wasn't going to say anything because that would surely bring negative 40 degree wind chills come January. So I was just enjoying the light jacket and gloves weather while I could, all the while feeling quite certain it is the product of all of those aerosol hairspray cans my sisters used in the 90s.

And now that Halloween and Thanksgiving have passed, it's time to pull out the green & red bins kiddies! I haven't yet fully embraced the concept of Christmas decor. I have a nativity scene from my step-mom that I really like. And the first Christmas after we moved into our house I did the post-holiday scrounge at Target and came out with quite a few items. Of which two I use and thirty I have yet to use. But this year feels a little different. I might just hang those lights and shoot, maybe we'll even get a Charlie Brown tree this year. Yes, after a few Scrooge McDuck years, I think the holly and jolly is rising from the ashes this holiday season.

Perhaps it is the rekindled peace between me and Pete. Or perhaps it's just this snowy Sunday morning.

Take 2

it's been awhile. i think i've been outside mostly. did you see the wps (white people shit) website yet? http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/
steven sent me the ones that really apply to me - like making him feel bad about not going outside, recycling, and pretending to like soccer! i will admit, they are hilarious. i just went there to get that link and it was on peacoats. nailed. tears are coming out of my eyes. whew.

so i guess i have to kind of topicize these postings. i have a lot on my mind lately ranging from the possible phrase "president palin" to planting garlic to agnosticism. where to begin? and that is always my out to go outside. but it's dark and raining so i'll probably just find out who killed the electric car and get back to you on it.

start somewhere

well, you gotta start somewhere. and it sure won't be with that font!

i have always been and always will be a classic american times new roman girl. always.

well kids, here goes nothing. i have condemned the word blog since first having lain eyes on it. but alas, even my dad got a cellphone. succumb to the technology? no. don't. choose to use it on your terms. and for good, not evil. and remember your roots. hence, don't forget to go outside.

speaking of cell phones, pete is having a problem with his right now. no screen. all other functionality is at 100%, just no visuals. i say tough. people lived through decades without silly screensavers of their horses face, phonelists at their fingertips and the ability to text 'google' for the exact address to the bar (though i admit, i love that perk). the unknown makes it more exciting. and memorizing phone numbers probably wards off alzheimers. here's to the rotary!

thanks for stopping by.
