The weather outside

Let's just say it has snowed a lot this December. To be fair, a lot did melt the last few days. Thank goodness. We couldn't see out the end of the driveway. Thanks to the monster dumping of the white stuff, even Eric is dreaming about points south, so there is hope for me yet.

(I took this picture in Madison last week.)

Who put the stump?

I may never look at our Christmas tree angel the same way again.

In the moment

Today is a gift; that's why it's called the present.

Sometimes I get so caught up in distractions that I forget the things I really want and need. I hope today can be more focused.

I can't wait

I'm in full-on freak mode. I have a 10-page paper due Tuesday at 5 p.m.

I haven't actually started yet.

What a duh.
