Taking comfort in cocoa.

Today was cold and dreary so we stayed indoors for all of it. We took a nap, watched a movie, watched the Oscars, played video games, read trashy magazines and ate Korean ramen for dinner. The packaged kind. It was a good day.

It was 68° and sunny last weekend and then Winter decided to strike back. At least the snow stuck to the trees this time and looks nice. So there's that.

I rarely find myself needing to use a stapler at home, not nearly as often as when I was a student, but I needed to staple something the other day and was so excited to use my stapler again. It's a thing of beauty.

It's no laughing matter.

I'm missing the fall some more.

I haven't started an official countdown yet but to say that I'm brimming with excitement would be a colossal understatement. Portlandia, I can't wait!

Then This Happened: Part 412

I miss the fall. Early fall to be exact.

I'm going to have a backyard someday and when I do I'm going to string up a bunch of bulbs like these and host really awesome backyard parties. You heard it here first. And you can hold me to the light bulb thing too. It's going to happen.

Sometimes the roads are treacherous and the going gets tough. Whatever you do, don't pass on the double yellow.

I don't know how or why some photos get passed over and lost for however long but I'm happy that I eventually find them again. I like this one. That was a good trip.

Good luck exploring the infinite abyss.

Sharing. Sort of.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday! You're the best, Mom.

A cold, clear day.

The most frigid ones are when there isn't a cloud in the sky and the wind is whippin'.

Nice product. No frills. I really love Rudy's.

Moonwalk.

More snow falling at the moment. Driving early tomorrow morning should be an adventure.
