Winter Fun! or not - you be the judge

Today we awoke to a very pretty snow covering outside and the sun shining. We went outside to shovel the driveway for the first official time in our new house. It was fun! By the time we had finished a light snow was falling - very picturesque. Although I realized that the snow boots with the funky yellow laces that I have been wearing since high school (think winter 1997) were no longer going to cut it. So I spent the afternoon doing something that I hate (yes it is true not all women love shoe shopping - in fact I loathe it.) But finally after 4 hours of shopping I returned home with a pair of boots and books for my nieces for Christmas (thanks especially to a 2nd grader who graciously helped me out at Barnes and Noble) Ben spent his afternoon painting the bright blue and white closet in our guest room - it is starting to look picked up and put together in there. At least one room in the house is on its way. Now witht the economy the way it is and after looking at our target card bill we are off to mooch dinner at my mom's house and introduce her to Gilmore Girls. :-) Megan
