We got SNOW!!! I was, and am, so happy for it. And sure, it might seem a little early to some (to most is what I am hearing… People, you can’t change the weather so you might as well embrace it!) but not too early for me. It is just about the right time and I love it. Cold temperatures and all.
The week went by fast but it was good. Got the winter tires changed just in the nick of time (big thanks to Justin and Sophia whom I now owe some cookies), watched the sky open and snow down the snow, hung out with Sophia and made snowflakes because we wanted to, then went to a happy birthday dinner for Shannon (please stop getting old, it makes me get old too!). We also went to Erin’s house to make more snowflakes while the mr made spaghetti for the older littles and Coco made his own peanut butter sandwich and drank milk from the container like a gagster. Real life there. I also worked the studio, made phone calls, did paperwork (all in my sweat pants), and went a little crazy all the while the mr worked the streets, took meetings, and did the things that he does. A week as any week, although we are getting so close to the holidays and I’ve noticed that Christmas decorations are going up all over the neighborhood. I think that I might just have to throw the outside lights up soon over here and get the bits of Christmasy things I stick up around the house close so when the mood strikes, out they go. As for the Christmas music, the one cd that has ever been in the CD player in the car is still in there (Hanson Christmas) waiting for that right time, and I am not going to lie, I have listensed to Sufjan Stevens Christmas a few times already. I CANT HELP IT! It is Sufjan and so it is ok. (Listen for yourself and tell me it’s not ok… you can’t. It is too good.)
Sunday again. So fast these weeks are flying by. Next weekend is family Thanksgiving at my house (24-28 people… oh boy oh boy!) and then real Thanksgiving. Then its birthdays galore and Christmas, and New Years and holy shit, the time is just spiraling. I need to get a grip on things before it all goes crazy. So today we are going to go for a hike but then I am coming home to work in my studio for a little bit then I am going to make some lists to get ready for the next month. And then go to bed early. I haven’t been sleeping very well and I am already butt ass tired. Reading. I need to stop staying up all night reading. (But do I really?)
