Ah Winter Is Upon Us...

So, tonight as I was out and about I noticed it had started to snow/sleet. Realizing that winter was approaching in full force, I asked myself why I came back here from the west coast. I generally only ask myself that question two or three times a year when we are hit by a really big know storm or cold front. Other than the winter (and lack of an ocean), I greatly prefer the midwest to the west coast, but when it gets cold, I long for the constant sunshine and (relatively) warm weather.
I hope every one enjoyed the long holiday weekend. I broke from tradition this year and did not hit any of the Black Friday sales. Though, there were a few things on sale that I really wish I had had the money to buy, but otherwise, I just missed the craziness with my SIL. We generally go out at midnight on Thanksgiving or early Black Friday and get incredibly slap happy and giggly. It's very fun and I missed that, but there's always next year.
Saturday we had a get together in which we played more Celebrity in one night than I have in years. It was a lot of fun. For those who do not know, there's an element of Celebrity that requires charades and watching the SIL and another one of our friends act out the celebrities is one of the funniest experiences one can hope for on any given night. It was a great time!
Also, congrats to the latest of my friends having babies, the Wudchuks! WOOHOO!
Well, I guess that is all I have. I have to go get ready for work tomorrow.
Until next time,
