amazing
how one can fetter away the time on the computer. i sometimes stumble across the most intriguing blogs of ppl i don't even know. mostly this kid that steve met at cornerstone one year, he's canadien (thus the appeal)...well, his gf's blog is so lovely and all of her friends are artists and travel to europa all the time and most the most whimsicle things...i just spent an hour reading about someone's life whom i don't even know.
wierd.
so stephen and i had a lovley little christmas eve eve lastnite. the only time we had for our own christmas. we take time opening one another's gifts and talk about them and treasure the stillness of one another. i've enjoyed our first 4 christmases together greatly. he got me very cozy boot slippers for tromping around our cold hardwood floors, the most recent iron & wine album, a copy of baz luhrman's romeo & juliet (i was obsessed in hs and i lost my copy ;(), a coffee thermos (yeah now i can keep my coffee warm throughout the morning @ work AND bring coffee on my bike!), and some "crack balls" as i like to call them: TRUFFLES! (and they're vegan so i can share them w/ steez). we ended the evening by candlelight listening to between the buried and me (b/c steve got a new hoodie that inspired him to listen to them) and whispering about all that we're thankful for.
i woke early to make berry pancakes & coffee...a breakfast that was made so much cozier by the new addition of a fireplace in our dining room...my pops got us an electric fire and it's not too fake looking, it's basically a space heater...but it made for a cozy christmas eve morning w/ the paper, the fire & and the company of my hubby.
now i need to set to accomplishing the day's tasks (some ironing, cleaning, resume writing & packing) to get us ready for the road trip to MI this evening. we'll be in MI..IN THE SNOW, yeah!...for five days, hopefully we'll see some friends in addition to lots of family.
merry christmas all.
