Please, please, PLEASE...

Let it snow in Huntsville this week!













Ok, I'm done.

Out of our pets, Kiltie would be the only happy one she LOVES to play in snow almost as much as I do. The cats, however, would kill us in our sleep if we dropped them in a big poof of snow (although that cat chasing fish in the frozen pond was pretty funny).

PLEASE SNOW!!

Recent Highlights:

1) Feeling mostly human again, although I still feel worn out. Dang it all.
2) Having da Hubs tell me I should a) write a book b) suggest a cute/funny idea that was along the lines of something I had toyed with doing c) the fact that he believes in me enough to think I could be successful at writing a book d) all of the above
3) Listening to Tim and Em's speel on Today's Letters. You should definitly go listen to it NOW! It's super great and challenging and encouraging :)
4) a lovely weekend w/ da Hubs
5) Having a husband who loves, loves, loves me.
6) Finding out that my mother-in-law is reading my blog (Hi Sue!)
7) Going to bed after this post b/c I am worn out!
8) IT MIGHT SNOW THIS WEEK!!
9) Listening to "Drops of Jupiter" and other Train hits in the coche.
10) Waking up every morning, and after ever nap to da Hubs wonderful whisker kisses. This is one of my favorite things EVER (Next to the time he woke me up from a nap by stroking my cheek, to then kiss my cheek and tell me he just wanted to say that he loves me. Seriously. Bottle that up and stick it in the fridge, I want to save it for forever).
11) It's almost Valentine's Day which is tied for my favorite holiday (it always was as a kid...don't worry Christmas shares the title).
12) It's almost my Beloved's birfday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes.

What good is happening in your world?

Oh and...



Goodnight!

Project 365. Days Two-Ninety-Four through Two-Ninety-Eight: Still here...

Well, my computer is still down for the count but....here I am on Jason's Ol' Faithful. And, it was just easier to tap into the archives on Jason's computer for a picture than anything else. This, here jewel is from the very,very first snowfall (at Christmas time thank-you very much) that I'd ever seen in College Station. Seems like it was about a million years ago. Ah, Kiltie loves the snow...makes her like a pup again :)

Anyways, I'm still alive. Have a lott-o papers and projects due in the next week and have worked pretty hard on academia this weekend.

How was your Turkey Day?

We had a great one, topped off with a Fightin' Texas Aggie win against TU!

Oh and P.s.....

Go here, please and thank-you.

Here's to being back in the blogging world even if Slick is still sickly! Whoop!

Project 365. Day Fifty-Five: My nephew gave me a stegosaurus...

Not only did it snow yesterday but, I got a letter in the mail from Jason's 7 year old nephew, Ricky :) I was immediately greeted by colorful stickers and notes on the back of the envelope (I had put a stegosaurus sticker on the back of a letter I'd sent him with a note saying that I loved dinosaurs). Each sticker had a note explaining it's signifigance. "I heard T.Rexes are the king of the dinosaurs" "I like Nasa a lot. This is it's symbol." And my favorite... "I know you like astegosaurus so I gave you one"



I flipped the envelope over before opening it. He'd addressed it to "Mrs. Aunt Katie" :) Um, AH-DORABLE!!...



Then, I opened the letter (which came with my very own bookmark :) ) and the cuteness was just overwhelming. Please read...



Mmmhm. Yesterday was quite good indeed! Oh and I kind of dropped the ball on Youtube Tuesday. So, have Youtube Wednesday (except that this video isn't really from youtube, it's of Kiltie and I playing in the snow yesterday).



Annnd, today's Jason's birthday! Sometimes, I'm struck at the thought of how different and much less wonderful my life would be without Jason. I'm so grateful and happy to be a part of his life! And, I'm so very glad to celebrate his birthday ! ISDLY !!!

Project 365. Day Fifty-Four: Insert That "Snow" Song from "White Christmas" Here...

It happened! I got my snow! And, it's lasted into the early morning of Jason's birthday !!

The beginning of the snowfall...

And most importantly, (this is much better than snow), it's my wonderful Hubs birthday!!

Happy birthday Hubs!! I sure do love you !!

Project 365. Day Forty-Two: Yessssssss!

...So far this is all that it's amounted to. But, we might get some more later tonight. I don't expect much but, I like the prospect. Jason made this little snow man for me while I was at Wil group. He also took Kiltie on a quick walk b/c he knew Kiltie liked the snow too :)

I love my husband :)
