So I built the first fire of the season this morning. It really isn't all that cold, but it is a gray, overcast day. Then too, we had a lot of smallish branches scattered on the ground from the windstorm on Friday.... So why not? A chance to curl up with a book, some homemade cinnamon bread, and the dachshund.... And maybe a chance to do a little writing....

Sounds excellent to me! As a matter of fact I did some writing yesterday...and will probably do some more today.....if I can put my book away that is!

I have plenty of things to do right now, no time for fires in my living room.

I have to work on some songs that a friend and I have written, read Neuromancer, play NWN2 and Prince of Persia, go christmas shopping, schoolwork, work, play with the savior of the revolution...

So much to do, so little time.

I actually had my second fire of the year. And now it's starting to snow! First snows are always really nice to see, but terrible to drive in. It's slippery stuff. December has officially begun now!

I love the fact that we get really cold rain here in NC danny but it doesn't want to snow... Hah, and when it does snow people freak out over like a quarter of a quarter of a inch.

In Chicago, we finally have seasonally appropriate weather: it has been below freezing for quite a few days, and there is even a bit of white stuff on the ground. This makes me very happy. Of course, my friends all make fun of me, saying that it is only because I'm Canadian that I want it to be so cold. Then again, Canadians are born with their ice skates on. Even better, I learned to skate and walk in the same year. I really love winter.

Oh I do agree with you! I also love winter, and usually we do have decent winters in my part of Sweden, but not this year...it´s like early fall....too warm and wet..YUCK!

We've got some nice snow here in the northern Rockies. It warmed a bit today, however. We had a couple inches fall this morning and much of it has probably melted away already. That still leaves about 3 inches, but I was looking forward to more--I've got snowshoes I want to trek around in.

well i have to agree with this statement, except not in Illinois, but In Missouri. 14 inches of snow... honestly, we haven't had a substantial about of snow in who knows how long, where'd that all come from. It was cool until i had to shovel the drive tongue.gif

I like winter, the messing around in the snow part, not the shovel the snow part, but i dunno, it has to be done.

Snow rocks, but winter colds suck! My throat is all clogged up with who knows what. But other than that, I'm looking forward to more snow. One of my friends that I haven't seen in awile wants to go toboganning with me once there's enough.

Too bad there's still like 3 weeks until we get a break from school... I'm DEFINITELY looking forward to that.

Well, down here in Texas there was a day and night of snow, but it's thawed by now. So we have to deal with nothing but cold winds and no snow (that's the fun part of winter). It's about two-three weeks before we're out for Christmas break. The last Tuesday and Wednesday are both half days (thank goodness for that!).

By the way has anyone else seen the Nativity Story, I just saw it on last Sunday. And I thought it was pretty good, if not a little historically incorrect (possibly incorrect). smile.gif

Hace Frio en Texas. I love Spanish, which I'm learning as a second language.

Last movie I've seen in theaters was the Borat movie. It's pretty hilarious if you ask me; quite over-the-top in some spots which was great. I won't write any spoilers, but there's one scene that if someone tells you about it before you go, it would ruin the scene for you. Those who've seen it probably know which scene I speak of... wink.gif

So no, I haven't seen the Nativity Story. I'm probably not either; I'm not very interested in those types of movies. I haven't seen The Passion either. What I need to do is buy Clerks 2 on DVD...

So what's this I hear about you Swedish folks burning down the Gavle Christmas Goat? (Sorry, no link. I imagine if you Google it, you will find something.)

I thought we had rednecks here in TN, but you guys have burned or run over the goat with a car(!) 22 times in the last 40 years! Oh, the humanity :lol :lol
