I love cold weather. I love it when it’s grey and blustery and a little overcast. I also love a really bright, cold, clear night when the stars look positively brilliant. I also love a really cold morning when it’s frosty and the entire world looks bluish white (especially if Im hunting and get to watch the sun come up)

Speaking of hunting….that’s where I’ll be for a long weekend! Going out to some really beautiful, isolated country. No one around but us for miles and miles. Well us and the wildlife :lol2: It’s a long drive but I’m taking work with me and the kids have their movies.

My Christmas tree is up. It’s gorgeous. A lit Christmas tree just makes me happy. I’m content to sit and watch it for hours. Oddly enough, there is only one Christmas present under it so far and guess who’s it is? Mine! Shocking I know. The kids always manage to get the first under the tree but hubby is on the ball this year. I’m only about a quarter of the way done with my shopping. I swear Christmas comes faster every year. But I’m not one of these people who do their shopping in the summer just to get a jump because I figure what’s the point of having Christmas if when it gets here there’s nothing to do?

I hope everyone has a great weekend. We’re kicking ours off this evening as we head out. I figure we’ll get to San Antonio or so before we call it a night and then go the rest of the way tomorrow.
