I love Gmail themes. I have my location set to Vermont so it’s been snowing a lot since i set my theme to “trees” but this afternoon after a short jaunt at the gym it was snowing for reals here too! Then i got this email. Thank you alert DC. The lil snow tuft at the top of my email just makes it all the more better.
Tonight’s going to be a great way to kick off the holidays – Fiancé and I are going with friends (my old roommate) to the Capitol Hill Club where they’re having Karaoke?!?! Republicans sing karaoke?!?! Really?! OLD Republicans?!?! Wooowwww. It should be fun.
Poor kid tweeted about his lost overcoat after an event downtown. Kind of sad for him – keys, a cashmere scarf and a merino wool overcoat all stolen. Crappy man. Crappy.
I digress, I was a bit excited to walk out back to the office from the gym only to see the snow. it makes me sadder that we’re not going north for the holiday next week, it makes me sad that I’m not going to look out my aunt’s back window towards Mallets Bay and see snow falling lightly just making everything so picturesque. It makes me even sadder that i won’t be able to go see the Christmas Tree Lighting on Church Street downtown and then grab a beer or two with the Tpup and Co. at Akes Place or JP’s (even though Fiancé HATES that bar…I love it. I love the trashiness of it. It’s so….divey. It’s fab.). I grew up with cold weather defining the holiday season, everyone here bitches about the weather, they bitch about the snow and god forbid people drive anywhere when there’s a few flakes coming. The world might just end. At least here in side the beltway.
So this weekend, I plan on enjoying this all while it lasts (which it won’t), listening to some Christmas tunes (i should probably buy some more christmas mp3′s because really my 5 song repeat won’t do), writing lots for Nano (i have about 15,000 words to write this weekend) and making the menu/shopping for Turkey day where my friends M & M from the gym will be joining us post Turkey Trot. I might be a bit depressed about not venturing north for Turkey day but really – i’m running a race, i have a beautiful home, i’m hosting good friends, and my fiancé is taking me shopping on black Friday, what more could a girl want right? I need to keep it all in perspective and be thankful for EVERYTHING and not dwell on what i’m missing.
Happy snowy Friday everyone!
