a month in the life

so, it's been nearly a month since I posted.... my home life was strange while matt was away. I kept doing all the things i had to do (go to work, wash clothes, bathe) but my rythmn was so off. There wasn't a whole lot to write about anyway.

But, since matt's been home, The Ex-Texans won Team Trivia!

Went and saw these guys with youle


Got one of these.


and by the way, I had no idea how much constant maintenance is required with a real tree - I have to water it three times a day and the needle fall out is unreal! But the upside is, the girls are fairly uninterested in it, which is s a change from our artificial tree that rose practically lived in and lily ate.

We also got a little of this.

The first snow actually happened on the day matt came home from new york. his flight was delayed 4 and a half hours!!! So when i went to bed at midnight, it was cold and raining and when i woke up at 2:30 a.m. and went down to the car to pick matt up at O'hare at 3 a.m., there were 3 inches of snow on everything. And since I was one of 15 drivers awake at 2:30 a.m., the roads were quite fun. it was like driving on an alien planet.
We're pretty used to in now, and really, there's going to be plenty more, so why even try to complain :)
