Quick-ish takes.
2. My boyfriend just joined my church's choir. We had our first rehearsal tonight and when I was looking around, as I usually during rehearsal, I kept saying to myself, "Who is the cute new guy?...Oh, wait, that's Jeff." I seriously did it like three times.
3. I get to sleep in tomorrow (today?) ! It's exciting. I've been waking up weekday mornings to babysit my niece and nephew. But tomorrow (no really? is it today?) is one of my days "off." Although, I have to say, it is pretty nice to spend the morning times with the kids- they're always wayyy more cheerful than in the evenings. Plus, picking up a two year old out of his crib when he's all sleepy and snuggles you is extremely gratifying.
4. I made a bunch of earrings to give to the girls who are hosting me when I go to Florida next week. They're pretty pretty. Right now they're on my desk so that I can try and figure out what to box them in. Any suggestions? I have five pairs.
5. The twinkle lights are still up in my room. I have no plans to take them down. You will have to physically fight me (and win) before they come down. Who says pretty lights are just for Christmas time?
6. Someone was braking on the on-ramp to the highway today. I didn't know what to do, they were going like 20mph and braking. Thankfully it was 12:30am and no one was on the road really so I had a huge break in traffic to pass them and speed up. It was a little slippery so I drove about 20mph under the speed limit but when I got to my exit there was another car on the off ramp going 15mph!! This ramp was clear of snow/ice and I was just so confused as to why this person was going so slowly. Maybe they had a disability or something. Or, snow makes people crazy.
7. I got a card from my Nana today. I love getting letters from her, they're always so sweet and thoughtful. But they always make me more painfully aware of how little I know my dad's side of the family. I wish I knew them better.

ReplyDeleteI am absolutely with you on number 1. So lovely. As terrible as this winter has been, I still can't bring myself to hate snow. There's just something so magical and graceful about it. In the back of my mind, even as I trudged through a foot and a half of snow for a mile, I kept thinking, "I wish I could bring myself to hate snow, but it's just so beautiful..."
ReplyDeleteAlso love your mother's idea for the boxes. So cute! And as for driving in the snow... I must confess, I never have. I grew up in Indiana, but I didn't get my license until I was 21 (I think--maybe 22?), and I drive only sporadically, since I'm in Boston, but I fear driving in winter. I'll probably have to next year, though. Not looking forward to it.
