I finally have a tree.

Its almost a 12 incher. I couldnt stand not having a tree for the third year in a row, so I went to Craft Warehouse and got me one. 

I feel a little more Christmas spirit-y. Tomorrow the gifts will be mailed.. yes I know there are 8 days until Christmas. 

It feels like I can relax a little bit now. It stopped snowing for a bit, but man its cold. And myself, being the genius that I am, caught my lunch on fire this afternoon, set the fire alarm off, and had to open the patio door, the window and the front door. I froze.  I am starting miss being 10 minutes away from my moms house this time of year. I know she has her fire place roaring, their tree with all our ornaments are up, Dad has baked cookies and mom has put up the decorations. Its becoming really hard to realize that I am 8 hours away. 

Oh well, I am enjoying the snow at the very least.

Snow

It snowed. It hasnt gotten over 28 degrees all week, and we are supposed to get hammered by another Alaskan storm all week. Freakin brrrr.

So far we havent gotten that much, but it has been a steady snow all morning. That means because Vancouverites are weenies, I have to go to the store now before they close on account of snow.
