. . .

allegedly there’s going to be a giant snowstorm this weekend, which would be so fun and fabulously white-christmas-y but for the fact that i’ve got two rehearsals, three masses, a lessons and carols program, a sunday evening program, and three different solos to sing at various points throughout. we’ve also got a dinner party to attend, more gifts to buy, lots of things to wrap, photo-sessions to deliver, and cookies, fudge and marshmallows to make. there are about 15 other to-do items looming, but i’m hoping to add “playtime” to the agenda too. emma wants to make not just snow angels, but also “snow fairies”, “snow mommies”, “snow monsters” and frosty the snowman, and i haven’t had time to take pictures for fun in far too many days.

ah, adventure. i’ve dragged my old pink ugg boots (so grungy that they’re hardly even pink anymore, but sooo cozy and dry that i can’t complain) out of the closet and i’m all ready to go. i may be busy to the point of exhaustion and confusion, but on cold weather days when i’m with my family and doing what i love for a living, i see clearly how very very warm and blessed my life is.

cheers, everybody! xoxo
