So, thanks to CQ...

...I've been goaded into blogging just normal stuff...again!

The last time I said I'd do this, Enchantress got me to start messing with Live Journal. The problem is, I ALWAYS have tons of time on the holidays to post, but not during the rest of the school year. So, my New Year's resolution (along with starting Weight Watchers again and reducing my roleplaying time) is to post once a WEEK instead of daily. If I can do that, I'm happy. Of course, for the next few days, I'm going to move my Live Journal stuff over here, so it'll look like this wasn't the first day I posted. Rest assured, THIS is my first blogger post for this board!

Soooo.....

Today's going to be our traditional New Year's Eve fare for Kevin and I. We're going to go into Brockport and get the fixin's for sushi, along with some sparkling grape juice, then come home, make it, watch the ball drop and kiss. We started this tradition a few years ago when we decided to no longer go anywhere for the holiday. The Brockport part came in because I LOVE Wegmans' but driving into Williamsville is the antithesis of holiday fun and joy. Brockport is just as far from Medina and we get a beautiful back country drive through Orleans and some of Monroe County that way. With the snow on the ground again, it'll be a perfect little winter wonderland.

Am I the ONLY person in WNY who misses/loves snow? I realize it's become a pain for most of you (window scraping, driving and shoveling and all), but it still holds its magic for me (probably because I still get school snow days!). Nothing makes me happier than seeing the ground coated in flakes with the sky all steely gray and swirling with those huge lake effect flakes. In fact, as far as me and sprites go, I think Kevin is right. I'm a snow sprite in the winter, but I DO change with the seasons. I become a leaf sprite in fall (for obvious reason), an air sprite in spring ('cause I love that breath of fresh air the spring brings and all the smells of the world coming back to life) and a pine tree sprite in summer (because evergreen trees are where I seem to default).

Too much weird for you?

Okay, back to normal tomboy stuff. I actually DO care about whether the Patriots win the Super Bowl. Kevin loves them and since the Rams are out and baseball isn't back yet, I'll go for the winning team today! Also, I just heard they're televising the Ice Bowl tomorrow and I'm SO watching this! How cool is it that the Sabres and Penguins are gonna play outside??? It'll be like a real pond! :-)

Oh, and I finally finished my holiday letter for 2007. It'll be on it's way to everyone in the new year (once I print up enough copies), but I'm posting it here for you guys to read (check my next post).

Well, I think we're getting ready to head out to Wigglemeyer's...if I don't hear from anyone, have a great New Year's Eve and an even better new year!
