Little Pink Sock

Winter weekends are great for doing nothing and catching up on little things around the house that you keep putting off. And for doing nothing. Vic & I had made tentative plans to go a few places this past weekend, but ended up staying inside most of the time. We stayed up until 4 in the morning watching movies and then slept in until around noonish the next day. It was wonderful! When it's nice out, I feel guilty being inside and spend a lot of time gardening or just hanging out in the backyard with Shannon. But Winter gives me the okay to stay in and be lazy. Well, not entirely lazy. I did get some laundry done and did a lot of cross-stitching and scrapbooking, so I guess my weekend was "craftily lazy."

Winter Likes
* The new-fallen snow before Shannon makes snow angels in it.
* The way the snow glistens when falling.
* Sliding around street corners.
* Snow people.
* The Winter X Games - those guys are crazy.
* Christmas carols & decorations.
* Tax returns.
* Fireplace fires.
* Watching Shannon play in the snow.

Winter Disliikes
* Slush.
* Unplowed streets.
* Bone-numbing cold.
* Wet on the bottom of the legs of your jeans.
* Scraping ice off car windows.
* Christmas commercialism.
* The way the snow looks black on the streets after being plowed.
* Hunting season - poor little animals.
