Winter Weather in Washington State

It appears that the Winter weather has been getting on some people's (as well as bird's) nerves. I believe the angry bird pictured is upset that his birdseed is slightly frozen.

It also appears that Western Washington (Seattle/Tacoma) has been getting paid in snow for not having a White Christmas for the past couple of years. The snow keeps falling down, and we are either snowed in or brave enough to ski to work!!

A lot of us have missed work, which is both a good and bad thing. We get to spend time with family and friends while being able to relax. We're losing money though, and with our current economy situation there could be no worse timing.

Pictured is what I call the hill of doom.
You're lucky to be able to go down it, and blessed to get back up in the snow and ice, that is. It's this huge steep long hill that inhibits me from going to work. There's more to the hill, you just can't see it.

I am happy to finally get my White Christmas. I've always wanted one but rarely get it.

There has been a lot of relaxing and changing in my sleep schedule, and it is definitely time to get back to working on __1337 Art.

Thank you very much for reading,

Happy Holidays!

Flirting with the Winter and Holiday Spirits.

I just made my first cup of hot chocolate this year - oh how it brings back memories. One taste of this mystical chocolate water, and I am feeling as innocent and naïve as a child. I remember the midnight to 3am car rides stopping back home with just enough time to make another cup of hot chocolate before hitting the road.

This taste mingling with music blaring from the speakers; feeling the comfy-ness of gloves and a scarf, and having the window down to keep us both awake. It was thrilling - and memorable - and real.

The office where I work is decorated for the holidays. The weather outside is getting colder. I can almost see the snowflakes falling and piling up on the roads…I hope it snows in time for Christmas this year.

Snow is always so innocent and youthful. I used to take long (2 or 3 hour) walks in it by myself listening to music and happily getting lost in thought. That seems like ages ago.

[I need to make myself some snowflake earrings.]

Happy Holidays! Enjoy the spirit as Winter approaches.

Thank you so much for reading. I hope you find some time to enjoy the beauty and calmness of the Holiday season.
