I got a wonderful gift from paramount. A big-ass bag (so I can take the messenger bag off my wish list,) Tropic Thunder on DVD, a Benjamin Button watch and a Defiance T-shirt. I think the bag is for picknicks as it has two pockets on the sides that are wine-bottle sized and an interior space that appears to be insulated but for now it's my new work bag. Yay. Also one of the vendors who I thought was only giving us a card this year sent us toffee.
At the moment I am treating my cold with chicken-tortilla soup and hot peppers.
I'd rather be sledding. What kind of sled do you have, meara?
I even saw a guy on a UNICYCLE. People are crazy.
My younger brother can ride a unicycle. I figure the attraction was the dramatic increase it offered in falling off things. If ever he writes a memoir it will be titled "Gravity, My Old Nemesis".
I was out sledding!! The streets are mostly closed
I have nothing to go sledding with, otherwise I would bundle back up and go to the park that's a block from our house. When we walked by it earlier, the entire neighborhood was there sledding down the (gentle) hills.
when I was a kid we had a toboggan. Major good times. dang I miss the snow.
We had ye olde Flexible Flyer and I had a silver saucer, that thing was awesome.
I got the sweetest card from my boss today. Really, it made me all verklempt.
Also got bunches of presents from the kiddos, including a nice, plump GC to the bookstore. YAY!
Now I'm thinking I should have done something for the kiddos. Oops.
I don't have a sled, but I went outside, and lo and behold, there were hipster guys with beer and sleds, and they were friendly, and let me join them.
Other people were sledding with snowboards, wakeboards, cardboard, adn even one small child in a laundrybasket.
The Seattlistas are giving me snow envy.
