These are from last week’s snow fall, but for some reason they never posted.  It’s raining now and undoing everything, which is actually a good thing, as my neighbors don’t shovel and it’s a pain to have to walk twice as slow in the sub zero temperatures just to avoid falling on the ice.   Everyone keeps saying it’s too early for the weather to be this bad, but it’s the middle of December in Chicago.

I haven’t really done any holiday shopping (buying things for myself doesn’t count), and I’m not really looking forward to it, either.  I always come up with good ideas for gifts six months before hand and then forget when the time comes to buy them.  I also never know what to ask for when my family asks what they should get for me, and it’s only after I don’t receive it, do I realize what I would have liked to get.  Isn’t that how it always is?
