Snow Day

By
Today is the first big snow of the season.  It is February 4.

Beautiful prairie snowfall
If you live in a more tepid climate, this may not seem that strange to you.  However, where I live (born and raised!) we usually have had a number of snow storms by this point in winter.  Somehow though, we have nigh eluded the bitterness this year with temperatures spiking to above the 60-degree mark on more than one occasion IN JANUARY!  It has been glorious.

Yet, despite my distaste for the cold, I do love a good snowfall when I can spend the day indoors if I so choose (and I do).  Giant flakes drift slowly from the clouds, reflecting my own laziness this afternoon.  Having slept in until 7:45, I awoke for a brekkie of oatmeal with strawberries and to watch several episodes of Looney Toons from the warmth of my bed.  Naturally, all this activity wore me out and I succumbed to a mid-morning nap.  I oozed out of my room around 10:30 and made my way to the couch where I have been ever since.  I did move once for lunch though (that Habibi prepared, of course) around 12.  You may not judge me for wearing the same "clothes" as yesterday.  In fact, you may shut up because I am still sick and therefore to be pitied.  I do what I want.
The embodiment of laziness:  A cat in a heated bed

It's really going to be hard for me to get back into running after two straight days of lethargy.  I want donuts.

Habibi and I are not at all fanciful.  In fact, every time I try to do something cute (and/or Pinterest-y), I end up frustrated and with egg on my face.  So, we've just decided to embrace our straightforward, blunt way of doing things.  To give you an idea of how we roll, let me tell you a little bit about our life journey together... On our second date, I told Habibi that I really wasn't interested in ever getting married.  Sure I like liked  him ("like liking" would soon change to love), but it just wasn't something I planned for my future.  Seven months later when he proposed (see how that went for me?), I simply said yes.  There was no video, no fireworks, no wild story, no pictures.  He told me to close my eyes (I insisted on sitting on the floor if I had to close my eyes because I was afraid he'd push me on the ground) and when I opened them, there he was, on one knee, holding a ring.  Afterwards, we kissed and he told me I had co...

I Am So A Hipster: The Hipster's Way of Letting You Know That He/She Is Not, In Fact, A Hipster

By
I just got home from having a great coffee date with a great friend. For those of you who know me personally, you will recall that I am somewhat awkward socially.  A few weeks back, my friend and I decided we wanted to meet for coffee at a local chocolaterie .  (We both lived/studied in France and anything with a European flair makes us nostalgic.)  Now, this may be news to her if she is reading this post, but my first awkward moment was when she walked in the door.   Do I get up and give her a hug since I haven't seen her in nearly two years?   (A normally functioning person would have done so.)   Do I give her a high five?   ( Not  what higher thinkers typically do.)   What????   (Yes, these are the things that plague my brilliant mind.)  Fortunately, she was graceful enough to have seemingly overlooked my stiff greeting and we were able to begin reminiscing. After a wonderful and uplifting chat about France, running, gossipin...
