Snow Flakes!


It snowed today! So beautiful. I have a hard time carrying on with my day instead of staring at the snow falling. I had to go in to work this morning for a few hours where I saw a squirrel outside repeatedly sticking his entire head into the snow to find food. Then Jordan had play practice about 30 minutes from where we live this afternoon, so I got even more practice driving in the snow. And you know, it's fine. The only annoying thing is having to brush it off when I've been parked for a while.

Last night Jamie and I hired Claudia to babysit the littles and we went out. We had such a great time! Our friend, S., who is a textile artist invited us to an art show/sale so we made an appearance there and it was very cool. Then we ran in to Yats for some "Cajun" food which was pretty ok, because I was *starving* (long-hard-lunchless day at work) and then got completely lost. Indianapolis has roads that make you go "Blurg!" downtown. They have these three-way intersections and you canNOT tell which road is which by the STREET SIGNS! I mean, you're sitting there, you're looking at the street signs and they're completely incomprehensible. They might as well be in Greek or something, because they're not informing me of anything. We even had a map and we were still very late to our next destination--Jamie's Aunt Marie's 60th Birthday Party and her daughter, Jessie's photography studio opening. So we felt very bad about that, but the party was great, interesting photography, it was good to see Marie and Jessie and Marie has really interesting friends so it was super fun.

Miscellaneous:

1. If you're still not watching 30 Rock, you must. I insist. It's a modern Mary Tyler Moore show. That Liz Lemon has spunk!
2. We're currently in love with Lollipop Pottery.





3. Also in love with American Science and Surplus. I went there for their 3-D drawing paper and found such a quirky online shop with a million cool stocking stuffers.

*American Science*!!!!! That place is the best. It's in Chicago and my dad and I would go there when I was little. I would get $2 and I could get whatever I wanted...turns out thigns haven't changed that much and $2 would still go far there. It really is the best place
