Rosie is such a cute baby, Kate! She always looks so happy.

Thanks, Burrell! She really is a happy, good-natured kid. She was SO enamored of my brother, which was super adorable. Any time she looked at him she'd give him this huge grin and waggle her eyebrows at him. So cute.

Lucky brother! Does he have a very expressive face with very distinct features? I notice that babies adore my sister's face, and while it is indeed a lovely face, my guess is the draw for babies isn't her beauty but rather her dark eyes and distinct brows.

Yeah, I'd say he does have a fairly distinctive face. Also, he spent much of the time making funny faces and noises for her, so I'm sure that was part of it too!

This is the most snow I've dealt with . I finally decided to go shovel the snow from off my car and around it. Which I'm sure was hilarious for anyone watching. I fell and slipped and realized I probably should have pushed the snow off the car FIRST then shoveled the snow around it.

My landlady's ex husband is going to come and plow behind the cars so we can get out.

I actually had a pretty good xmas this year, with no epic sickness! (almost certainly because there was no travelling involved. Anytime I travel for a winter holiday I get sick, and that's no fun.) Since my regular days off right now are Mon/Tues/Wed I had a full holiday compliment of days off to hang out with friends. And since my BF and her husb did NOT have extended family in town for the first time ever since they started procreating they were very happy to have me there for the "more family" experience. PLUS I've been on 2 very sucessful dates with a guy I actually like and it turned out he had no plans at all on Tuesday so he came over also and there was eating and banagrams and awesomeness. I almost freaked out when he texted something about wrapping...and i responded something along the lines of "NO PRESENTS" and secretly freaked out that after 2 dates he was gonna try and ambush me with a gift when of course I had nothing for him but an invitation to fondue...but it turned out that someone had left a brand new Mister Potato Head toy kit at his house after a solistice ("Island of Misfit Toys" theme) party so he brought that for my friend's kids and it was a huge hit.

Ooh. That sounds fun, Erin!!

I am worried I am getting sick.

It took me almost an hour to go through all the emails I'd gotten since Thursday, and delete or file some. I haven't dealt with the ones still in my inbox that require me to DO things. But I'm contemplating a nap, because my head still freakin' hurts. Grrr.

I kinda like this working 4 hours instead of 8 and doing the bare minimum. I know I'm going to be swamped next week, but it is kinda fun for now.

Is bitches working? Where'd everyone go? I have an excuse. It was a gorgeous day here. I ran errands. And foolishly didn't eat that much, came home, had to eat quick dinner instead of what I planned cuz was fuzzy headed. Ate. Passed out for almost 3 hours. But feeling much better now. I know, must not do that. Yeah. I wasn't planning on doing so much when I went out. Was just going to feed friends cats. But it was so nice out, and I've been a hermit since house guests left, I just kept driving around getting fresh air. Who knew I could get cabin fever so quickly?

Hope everyone is ok, especially those getting bad weather. Stay safe!!

Emmett and I went out to see Django Unchained, but now we're back and eating and watching Community.

Tomorrow I make waffles.
