snow!
Oh my goodness - it's snowing! It's wonderful to see my little town of Lincoln being lightly dusted with the white stuff. OK, so it snowed here while I was in England. In November. And it snowed a little last week, but that was overnight. Now I'm actuallly seeing the snow come down from the sky, and unlike the last time I saw it happen, I'm not sitting in a crew shell wearing a T-shirt outside. So yeah, this is nice. First real sticky snowfall of the year - if this were Princeton, circa 1972 - 1998, a big group of people would be running around naked in Rockefeller Quad.
I'm taking a small break out of trimming our Christmas tree. This is the time I've done this in, oh, about eight years. I've simply never been home early enough to trim the tree. The lights are up, the baubles and such will follow soon thereafter, and then I need to start wrapping loot for my family. Here's the problem, though. I've ordered a heck of a lot of stuff from online retailers, who are making me very anxious by not delivering their goods on time. Or at least, not early enough for me. So while I continue to gussy up this tree such that it no longer looks like a real tree, keep your fingers crossed for me, in hopes that the UPS guy will come with presents. :)
