brrr... again.

Um, yeh. The highs today are/were in the low 30s...
You'd think we'd at least get some fluffy snow out of this?

As of 7:45 AM this morning...

help

Please send as many good thoughts / prayers / positive energy or whatever it is you prefer in the direction of Florida right now. I have some loved ones going through some really rough times + I need everyone's help to push through this unfortunate [+ hopefully temporary] roadblock...


:'(((






P.S.
The first snowfall fell on the DC metro area last Sunday. Actually, the remnants of melted snow are still apparent in certain places of the city as of today [Wed]. It wasn't very thick snowfall, but I'll take what I can get. J + I were literally jumping up + down like little school children when we saw little flurries outside our window. We did anything but stay in that day. But, as with all other "severe" weather conditions in the area, people were paranoid + impatient on the road. So, it was the metro bus + trains for us. No snow angels this time — just lots of shoe prints.

Sorry everyone – I couldn't help but toot the SCAD horn a bit + share this bit of news...

The work of emerging photographers from The Savannah College of Art + Design is being featured at modern home furnishings store west elm.

// HPPY BRTHDY 2 MLK, JR

I'm at work while everyone else is either asleep or at home thanks to the birth of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. But, all is well—especially since traffic was a breeze this early morning because of the holiday.

Speaking of, J pointed out the lovely graphic that Google.com had created to commemorate MLK Day. Take a peek for yourself »

I've always wanted to learn how to double dutch. Av knew how to during her younger days in Maryland. ;) I was pretty good at High-Low, also known as Chinese Jump Rope.

Don't mind me. I'm just rambling before I have to jump back into the busy river of work...

Enjoy your sleep, sleepyheads.

* brrr...

... and it's about time, too! Winter sure took it's time to finally arrive. Bring on the chilly air + please bring some snow while you're at it. I want to make a snow angel this year.

Happy New Year everyone! 2006 has gone by really quickly for me. I thought it would slow down at least a bit considering how 2005 flew me by like a typhoon in Guam, but I was wrong. But still, life is good + the deity above has been very good to us. No complaints here.

Yes, I realize I have been M.I.A. for quite some time + you are probably wanting a M.O. on my whereabouts. I promise I will fill you guys in on my whathaps—but not now. [haha] I've been out of town for a little under two weeks enjoying the company of loved ones far + wide for the holidays + am in desperate need to catch up on work, home, + the internet—in no specific order, of course.

Some things worth mentioning...

Sadly, J's maternal grandfather just had a stroke the other day, so any good thoughts + prayers you can send with mine will be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

In lighter events, Mazzy just turned 100K miles this December. So proud. :) Uh huh, she is getting up there alright. So, as long as we treat her right + give her what she needs she will be with us for another 100K.

That's all for now. My brain is not on empty—it's just in high gear.

Back soon...

P.S. I love em dashes.
