These wreaths are hanging on the fence outside the dormant construction at the old Filene’s building. They were decorated by the kids at one of the local elementary schools.
I’m catching up on my posting just in time to take a week off…weather permitting, my flight leaves around 2 this afternoon and I’m off to DC/VA till next weekend. I’m sure I’ll have plenty of pictures to update then!

We put up our Christmas tree at home last night. It was a true team effort – I put the tree up, Pete hung the ornament. The disadvantage to living in a very awesome studio loft located in the former attic storage space of what used to be a chocolate factory? Having too little square footage and eaves under which you cannot put an actual Christmas tree. Last year I found this guy 50% off after Christmas and thought he was the perfect solution. Which he is.
Please ignore the fact that while my computer and school stuff is spread on the table behind the Christmas tree, I’m actually taking, editing, and posting photos instead of working on my paper and/or reviewing for my final.

Ten on Tuesday….
1. This is Madeline Bovine, who was given to my by a former coworker when I left the my last company. She has 6 different outfits and lives on my desk at work. I usually keep her on my shelves where I’m the only one that gets to see her, but I recently moved her out near my Christmas tree because I think she’s fitting of the seasonal decor. She’s gotten a lot of compliments. If you would like a Madeline Bovine of your own, you’re going to have to eBay for her.
2. My Christmas tree has also garnered a lot of compliments at work.
3. I am not complaining about the warm weather, but I cannot handle going from 0 (with windchill) to 60 in the span of three days.
4. Speaking of 0 to 60 in three days, I’m all registered for the 2009 Breast Cancer 3-Day! This year I’m walking in Boston, and our team name is Babes for Boobs, and we’re recruiting members. If you’re even remotely thinking about it, email me and I’ll fill you in! If you’re not interested in walking/volunteering…don’t worry, I’ll hit you up for money soon.
5. Walking in the 3-Day last October was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever done. I think that everyone I know should get involved somehow – walking, crewing, or coming out to cheer the walkers on. I can’t really put it into other words…it was just absolutely amazing.
6. I’m sad that I can’t walk in DC again next year so that I could go through that with my sisters again.
7. My collection of holiday music is large enough to last me almost an entire work day.
8. Work has been a bit hectic recently as we all try to wrap up everything we need to wrap up for year end…and try to kick off everything we need to kick off for ’09. Thank God vacation is coming soon.
9. Thanks to Guitar Hero, I think that Pete’s left hand is going to turn into a claw, a la Friends (cut to 2:50 if you don’t know what I’m talking about).
10. Why is it only Tuesday?

Today was our first snow of the winter – big, fat flakes that have been falling for at least the last 3 hours. I checked first thing when I woke up, and when I saw them I bundled up and headed out to wander and enjoy it a bit. I had a grin on my face that matched the one I saw on a 5 or 6 year old little girl that was walking with her father, scooping snow from the side of the sidewalk and saying “Look Dad! SNOW!” I can’t help it – the first snow is one of my favorite things, it’s so magical. Everything is a bit more quiet and peaceful, and doesn’t the world just look so beautiful when it’s covered in a fresh blanket of snow? I took a lot of photos, and you can check out the rest of them on my Flickr.

The awesome and lovely Liza tipped us off to a great deal on Guitar Hero – $30 for the guitar and the Legends of Rock game – so we promptly ordered it…and it arrived today! Pete’s band is named Scruff, and I think he played so much that he’s already beat the game.
