It's been really cold, you guys. Maybe not quite Tauntaun sleeping bag cold, but you know, pretty chilly--below freezing almost all the time for a couple of weeks or so. Today when I left for work a few snowflakes were finally falling, though the mighty forecasters claim that it won't stick.
Between you and me, I like the snow. Unfortunately there is a Seattle city ordinance against admitting this out loud. Seattle is not equipped to handle snow, as we proved spectacularly last December, and therefore the snow makes people cranky, and local businesses suffer, which admittedly is bad. But come on. Hating snow during the holidays? You might as well hate magic and goodness and peace for all mankind.
My wonderful mother-in-law just sent us a beautiful Kitchen-Aid mixer (in ice blue! hooray!), and tomorrow I am going to try to put it to use by doing some Christmas baking for the neighbors. None of our neighbors talk to us but I plan to bully them into at least knowing our names. That's right, Ravenna. I'm your worst nightmare.

Let it snow. Let it snow. Let it snow!
NONE OF YOUR NEIGHBORS TALK TO YOU???
I beg your pardon, lady.
(I know you meant your immediate neighbors. I just wanted to get huffy).
I like snow too. If it's going to be this cold, we should have snow to make it pretty and cozy.
I love snow--just not driving around other Seattlites in the snow (you mean I shouldn't ride the brake? but how can I go slower?) :D
You got my dream present--Kitchen-Aid mixer. Sigh. Someday I won't have to knead the pizza dough for 30 minutes by hand anymore.
Wow, I want a mother-in-law to send me a Kitchenaid!
Also, I like snow too. I'm secretly (or not so secretly) hoping for a white Christmas. And I'm a native to these here Seattle parts. (Shh, don't tell.)
