Today is my parents anniversary! 31 years isn't too shabby. Happy Anniversary mumsie and papa!
Lennie just made a post about Christmas, and I'd just like to respond to that and say that I, too, am so excited for Christmas. Not because of the commercialism, but because being with family always makes me really happy. Not to mention I absolutely adore the atmosphere of dim lights, candles burning, soft music playing (John Michael Talbot, for example...he's a monk), fire crackling in the fireplace, mom's tasty dainties, and soft snow on the ground.
And I love presents.
Yeah, I said snow. It's weird, over the last while, I have really been loving the "dreary" weather and haven't really minded the cold so much! (No, I am not depressed). Honestly though, on the many consecutive days we had of rainfall this summer/fall, I really wasn't too bummed out about it, despite everyone's groaning. Sure, I was really pumped to get outside when the sun was out shining and warming my skin, but I wasn't grudgingly moaning about "uuuugh, my haaaaaaaiiir" or "OMG, why can't I ever go to the beach?!" (to be honest, I haven't been to the beach in 2 years....other than my stint in Florida for volleyball last November). No- I am quite happy carrying on my day despite the state of the clouds (minus tornados. Those things make me stay put...). In fact, I am a fair representation of my family: we enjoy sitting inside with a good book and a cup-o-hot tea. Now- back to the snow. Normally, I would be on the verge of (angry) tears at the first snowfall. Our first snow fall has come and gone, and I enjoyed it! What?! I was out for dinner at J. Fox's on Academy after work with a newer friend of mine and it was lovely walking outside after amongst the other strolling folk under a navy sky with the lightly falling snow being lit by the soft glow of street lamps (<--some cliché descriptive writing for you). I do find the snow quite pretty. Perhaps I'll knock on wood now and save myself eating my words in about 2-3 months time... Hopefully my old (generally trusty) car doesn't die on me in the dead of winter. I'll feast on my words then.

Random Notes:
• I'd like to wear my hair like this:
Simple knots! I just know that I would need a lot of hair spray.... A lot.
• And the boots I ordered just arrived to my doorstep today- Hooray!
• I've been listening to a lot of Radiohead again lately.

Done with this random (and long) post.
Cheers!
