winter

When December's nose runs, she comes up and says "My nose fall out!"  Not sure where she came up with that one, but it's pretty darn adorable.  I hear this phrase several times a day, lately.

It's getting colder, though still generally warm enough during the day to only require a sweater.  I'm going to be sad when we get to the point that there is permanent snow cover.  Not my favorite form of precipitation, not even a little bit.  It makes my socks all soggy, and it's sneaky about it.

Also winter involves dry air.  December and I are both slowly mummifying.  Someone remind to pick up some more linen strips....

I get static electricity shocks on an hourly basis. My computer, my car, my couch- all of them are determined to turn me into a walking Leiden jar.  I suspect my hair as a co-conspirator.

On the upside, I have 2 weeks left until Christmas break.  I can't wait for finals to be over already- I'm up to my eyeballs in essays.

Happy holidays....
