[this picture is actually from Tucson! I also saw ice on the road this morning with estranged prickly pears drooping from their insides freezing]how wonderful have the past 2 days been???
I watched "New in Town" yesterday, in honor of the cold, drank a glass of wine and attempted to make my grandmother's homemade pudding. Yes, attempted, because it definitely didn't turn out...bummer.
Also, because of the cold, we had a 2-hour delay this morning! Well, at least that's what we called them in Indiana. So instead of starting school at 7:10 this morning, we started at 9:30!!! Yes, it was a little piece of heaven on earth. Waking up at 7:38 instead of 5:45 was miraculous - it's crazy how much more on top of life you feel when you sleep :) Then I made french press coffee with my Xmas present from Cori (thanks dude!) and biscuits with irish butter and honey, while reading about Esther for the drumming circle tonight. Thanks God for such a lovely morning :)
i have loved wearing sweaters and jackets, bundling up on the couch with a blanket, and wrapping up in scarves - it's so ironic that i love living in tucson, but i LOVE the cold...
What have you done in this crazy cold snap around the country??? Do you like it? hate it?
(PS - if you have the album "For Emma, Forever" by Bon Iver, listen to it. He wrote the album from a cabin in Wisconsin during the winter when he was sick, so it seems very fitting to listen to it in such cold weather.)

I am so delighted you posted, and I am glad you are enjoying the cold. I think of you often and I have enjoyed the sunshine here in Seattle this week. It is as if we swapped :) Love you friend
