Boredom is a funny thing

Here is what happens when Suzanne stays home sick for a few days over Christmas and is, in general, under stimulated.


Don't judge me!


Shiny!


See, things really are a lot prettier after it snows. Snow is nice.

I'm afraid that Alex did end up having to drive in it and to shovel a lot of it.

The absolute worst thing

I was talking to Alex today, and I said that I wish it would snow. Seems like if it's going to be cold, it should at least snow. Otherwise it's just a waste of cold. Snow at least will pretty things up a bit and make everything sparkly.

Alex disagreed with my idea initially, but then relented a bit and said that he didn't mind if it snowed as long as it didn't he didn't have to shovel or drive in it.

Which brings me to my main point here: what, in your opinion, is the worst part about winter? I know usually we all try to dwell on the positive, but it's January and we're in a post-holiday slump here. If you're going to succumb to SAD, you should at least post about it online, right?

In my opinion, the worst part of winter is the dirtiness. All the dirt and the salt and everything just seems to build up on the snow, leaving a film on your lawn when it melts.

What do you dislike most about winter? You can only pick one thing.

Slacker

Well, it's the new year and everyone's back home again from all their holiday travel. Going back to work, seeing the piles of stuff there is to do . . . calling in sick, hoping to extend the holidays just a bit . . .

Oh, I kid. Though it is tempting.

I'm back at work, which means I'm back to reading everybody else's blogs again. (DSL cannot show up too soon at home.) I must say that Adam and Shannon are really making the rest of us look like slackers, what with their 4-7 posts per day. Or is it that they are the slackers, and we are the ones getting stuff done at work? Hm?

Anyway, I felt a little duty-bound to produce something bloggable. Here is is: I like Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory caramels. And the almond clusters. Ooh, and their bridge mix. Their bridge mix is the best - it's not just raisins and nuts like all of the other bridge mixes you'll find out there. It's full of good stuff. Next time you're in an airport out west and you need a snack, pick up a bag.
