White transformation
















At Eric and Mel's



















At the falls...


















Get this crap off my back. It's cold!



















What the...?

Happy Birthday! I feel like frosty!


Happy Holidays!

The work is done and now it is time for me to play. I have a new toy to play with, too. When I stop drooling over it, I have managed to play with it a bit. Hmmm... Should I share? Perhaps not. Eric knows.

So far, no Christmas tree up. It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas - in every house but ours ... So why is that? I just got done with school on Wednesday. All the papers are in and all the tests are in. I napped the day away yesterday after shopping. That was the first time for Christmas shopping. I want to run downtown for a bit. But, I also have Christmas gifts to bake. I was so naughty last year when I told Mel that I had been giving out my infamous caramel corn for years hadn't Eric shared? The look on her face was priceless. But now the word is out that last year was the first year that I had shared it with my family. I had brought it to work for years.

I just don't know where to begin playing! I feel so excited. My house is such a mess, that I think it is easy to tell that I am the main cleaner or enforcer. Occasionally it gets to Brian, but the children are completely blind to it.

There is so much I want to do. I have some learning to do with my new toy, I have videos that I have not watched, websites and blogs I have not visited, not to mention my own that I have not kept up on. I have news that I have to share, but that is something of a downer, so I won't do that. Perhaps I shall begin anew.

I just feel so unchained! It is wonderful, but where do I start. The writers strike came at a perfect time, so I can no longer see new episodes of my favorite shows. Some that I thought were completed have turned out to be not showing until after the strike. Not that I watch much television, but more cable shows that are beyond interesting to me. Sundance and IFC are among my favorites. But lately I have seen more than enough football. My Bears are playing today.

Silent Night


A tough night of studying. This is Maggie, my notebook and my MacBook on my lap. This is what homework is about here. I have 5 papers due by Monday and a final that I should take Thursday. Hopefully I will have more to talk about later.

Also, one for the ego. I donated two of my photos to a silent auction fundraiser. They sold to one very interested buyer who was elated that she had top bid on them. Still waiting to find out what that was, but it really doesn't matter. I am just happy that she wasn't looking for a good deal on picture frames...
