Wow. It has snowed more in the last week than I can ever remember in the last several years. Usually we get one day of snow, I get to skip out on work for a couple of days, and then all is well again. This year, my agency has closed its door for 5 days straight, and the snow is still coming down, so I’m not sure if it’s going to be open tomorrow either! Right on time for Christmas. It looks like we’ll have a white Christmas again this year. Last year, it snowed a couple of days before Christmas, but the snow stuck around until a bit after Christmas, so technically we had a “white Christmas” last year too. This year beats it though.
My sister is coming into Seattle tonight, but I won’t be able to pick her up because of the road conditions, so she’s going to be taking a flight into Vancouver tomorrow morning, and we’ll go and pick her up in Vancouver together. I’m so excited for her to meet Lily Bean. I wish she lived closer, but we do what we can to stick together.
I managed to make a new header image for the site. Ya like? I figure the summer girl-on-swing layout was getting a little old. I managed to whip this one up in a couple of hours during one of Lily’s nap times. There’s only a bit of time frame during her naps because she doesn’t nap for as long anymore. I missed being able to draw, so I thought I’d try my hand on another illustration for a layout, and voila!
I have a lot more to say, but I will end this for now, with a Sunday meme from Sunday Stealing:
1. What is a nickname a former (or present) lover gave you?
Dave calls me “Pixie,” or “Pix” for short. He is the ONLY person who is allowed to call me this.2. How do you style your hair? If you just would say “cut” what style is it?
I usually just blow dry it and let it hang. Now, though, I tend to have it in a pony tail or bun, since Lily Bean has figured out she can grab my hair very easily. My hair is currently very long (mid-back) with long layers. Time for a hair cut!3. What’s your least favorite Christmas song?
Any of the ones that have religious connotations in them. They sort of annoy me. I know “Christ”mas is really a religious holiday, but we don’t celebrate it as such.4. How many colors are you wearing now?
Two. Light blue and white. I’m wearing light blue and white striped pajama pants, and a white tight tank top.5. Are you an introvert or extrovert?
I’m generally an introvert but can hold my own pretty well in large groups.6. What was the last book you read?
Erm. I don’t remember. Geez, it’s been a couple of months. That sucks. I’m currently verrryy sloowwwllly going through “Almost Moon” by Alice Sebold.7. What’s one piece of fiction that changed your life?
The Secret Garden. It’s my childhood favorite, and it’s the first book that I can remember that made me really, really love reading.8. If you are attracted to someone who is already in a relationship (or married), what might do you do?
I’d get over it.9. Is there anything that has made you unhappy recently?
Yeah, a couple of things. One is our financial stress right now, but I know it’s temporary so I’m trying not to worry too much.10. What’s your favorite dessert?
Orange sherbet. Hands down. And orange julius. Actually, orange julius would come before orange sherbet.11. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?
15 minutes. Heh.12. Name one website that you visit daily. Why do you read it?
Plurk. Because everyone goes to update there and I get my quick fixes.13. What was your last job before either you are at home or at another job??
