I’ve got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom.

I have to give it to Linda Holmes on this one: THIS basically sums up how I’m feeling today, having spent essentially the past 6 days homebound and facing yet another snow day tomorrow.
When snow falls, nature listens.

Not to be confused with Snowpocalypse 2009. Here’s some photos from Saturday:
For this next one, I said to David,” People usually park on this part of the street. Good thing no one was parked there when the tree fell.” David said, “Look again.”
There’s an SUV under there!
It was a LOT of snow – we got at least 22 inches – but it was so beautiful:
The government was closed today, so neither David nor I had to work, and we just got word that it’s closed again tomorrow, so – SNOW DAY! Of course, another storm is moving in, and it’s predicted to drop between 10 and 20 inches on the area, so we may not work Wednesday either. I could get used to this!
Hope you’re all snug in your homes, whatever the weather!
The years teach much which the days never knew.

It’s Nathaniel’s 35th birthday today. I can’t believe he’s that old, not only because it means my 33rd birthday is right around the corner, but also because, in my head, the two of us don’t age. We’re still the kids who fought like crazy and loved like crazy and laughed like crazy. In a lot of ways, he’s my best friend, and I’m so lucky that I get to be his sister.
So read this – it’s really the best way to tell you how I feel about him. I love you, Bubba.
Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first.

1. Those chocolate crunchy bits you only find in ice cream cakes.
2. My shiny new purple iPod nano that arrived today, an early birthday present from my parents! (But really, FedEx, who do you think you’re kidding with this:
“No one will guess there’s something under here! It’s foolproof!”)
3. That I went to the grocery store last night, so I don’t have to contend with the crazies tonight – there was literally not a single empty space in the whole shopping center parking lot when I rode by on the bus tonight, and the line to turn into the shopping center was backed up three blocks!
One belongs to New York instantly; one belongs to it as much in five minutes as in five years.
