30

I was the last one to go to sleep last night, and as a result, I spent a lot of time online, researching lots of things and deciding what to do with my Christmas money. I also spent some time counting my posts, going back and remembering the past six months. I realized I skipped a week, around the middle of November. So, because it's Christmas Day, and presents have been opened and dinner has been consumed, and I've just commenced my yearly tradition of watching Pirates of the Caribbean, AND it's snowing on Christmas Day (something that hasn't happened in more than 100 years here in Georgia), I decided to post a quick message, just because.

Today is a kind of day that makes me wish our fireplace worked. The snow is falling fast and thick outside, and I'm sure there is coffee and homemade chocolate chip cookies in my near future. Santa was awesome to me this year; my family was, too. Since we're moving in less than a week, most of my gifts consisted of wonderful things for my kitchen. It makes me want to cook all sorts of things, right now, despite the fact that I'm super full from Nanna and Mom's awesome cooking. Ham, potato salad, deviled eggs, biscuits, okra. We're Southern, clearly, and I'm quite stuffed for the first time in awhile.

So now I'm sitting in my papasan chair, watching Captain Jack Sparrow commandeer things and Will Turner fall in love with Elizabeth, while I watch the snow out of the corner of my eye. Maybe it will stick and I can make a snowman. Or at least a snowball. Not a bad way to end a good day.

  1. Your mention of kitchen things made me remember how much I'm looking forward to our next cooking date!
    I'm glad your Christmas was merry and bright...and white. :-)
