i am so happy the snow is gone. we were snowed in for over a week and the city bus system was just a complete mess and we couldn't get our car out, so we were just pretty much destine to not leave the house. i pretty much only left when i had to go to work everyday and it took 2+ hours each way and was hellish. the snow is beautiful and it gives me a sense of clensing in the way it covers everything so elegantly, but after awhile it just looses the magic. i think it was extra difficult for me because i had just gotten over being sick and was stuck inside for serveral weeks because of that. i was just feeling stuck and missing my friends big time. i am starting to dig out but i am still missing my friends a lot.
we had a nice christmas inside with "the kids" (yeah, i totally call my cat and dog "the kids") and exchanged some gifts and watched some cheesy christmas movies.
and it was really lovely to spend my first christmas with bryan even though this is actually the third christmas we've been dating during. it was just unfortunate that we had such awful cabin fever by that point.
speaking of holiday baking, jay got me a kitchenaid mixer for my bday/xmas gift and it is kind of the best thing ever. all i want to do is bake lately. i'm really excited about it.
i cannot believe 2008 ends tomorrow. it sort of snuck up on me. annie and i decided we are going to this gala and i am feeling really excited about it. the tickets are a little spendy, but i would just rather spend the night away from the drunken messy house parties and the idea of going to a formal ball just sounds amazing to me. i bought a really lovely formal dress on clearance last night and i am hoping more of my friends will come out and join us.
