It's not chocolate, but still. Le Commencement I will send you books, bound like a schoolgirl's hair with radiant ribbons, a tribute to the stillness of your soul, and mine entwined, breathing in the silence and looking, unafraid, into the heart of darkness or whatever else we might find there new thoughts encroach as, our fingers touching, we turn the page verso, yours, and ...

OK, so the last day won't really be until Sunday, but it's the last day of the work week. I felt really aimless all day. I cleaned the kitchen and made the beans. I went for a walk, listening to the snow crunch under my feet, and sniffing at the frosty tang in the air that you only feel and smell when it has snowed. Some kids were playing in the snow. They had made wall out of blocks of snow and I do believe they were working on making some snowballs. Good times. I haven't seen snow ...

So we are out a third day, all because the temperature is below freezing. What luck! I painted this afternoon; I would really like to post my stuff, but I don't know how.

I love the dichotomy between my southernmost point of origin and my lit-net friends who live in the north. Yesterday I wrote about my exultation at getting an unexpected day off. Today I'm going continue with information about how we are surviving the worst cold front in Texas in about a decade. I hope people realize that this is tongue-in-cheek, but just in case I'll go ahead and tell you. I survived the night. I wore my bathrobe to bed and slept under a comforter, a down blanket ...

Yippee! I'm at home today. No school, now work. Home. All because of sleet and maybe an inch of snow. Life is awesome. I plan to drink tea, paint, maybe watch a movie. Life is good. Not so good maybe for the 18 wheelers that persist in trying to drive around here. Lots of accidents. And it's snowing! Tiny little flakes, but here, nevertheless. I'm going to go watch it. More later. Update: We are going to be closed on Wednesday, ...
