The mailman has a package! The mailman has a package! Christmas is saved... again.

UPS is here! UPS is here! Christmas is saved!

I had to venture out to restock wood pile and pick-up child. My ears still have not thawed and yes I wore a hat.

kitchen will stay together for another month or so. Garbage disposal died (ick and double ick for cleanup) and dishwasher is on its last leg

worried that the wood pile has dwindled and will have to venture out into cold to restock. Right now the backyard seems a hundred miles away

had to venture to basement office to print something. Must be 20 degrees colder down there. Had to sit in front of fire for 10min to warm up

My brother left this on my lawn last night and foolishly emailed me an evidence photo.

maybe gotten a little too into the origami - twitpic.com/v8c9

up early, wrapping Christmas gifts, enjoying a cannoli and some tea by a warm fire. *happy content sigh*

the wind doesn't completely rip the power lines down. The lights keep flickering. At least we have a fire going.
