Some of it had already melted by the time I woke up!

It wasn’t that much snow here, but of course people were all freaking out beforehand. Apparently there’s still “icy conditions” on the roads so it will be a fun drive to work later!

Also, my friend Meghan and I discovered that we were also BFF in preschool before we both moved away! Then her mom found all these preschool pictures of us! Crazy times.

Also, I’ve been writing letters!

Two of the letters I wrote this week were sort of unusual. One was to my brother in Houston, which will arrive in my signature cloud envelopes in a box, since I also had to send him this:


He made it at Glazed Expectations, the paint your own pottery place in Carrboro, and I’ve had it since Thanksgiving.

Hopefully it will arrive intact

The second was to my illustrator, who is having an art show soon in Minneapolis! Unfortunately, I can’t be there for it, so I knew I had to make an exciting card to congratulate her. It will arrive in this envelope I made out of fancy scrapbook paper:

I didn't assemble it exactly correctly, but it's the thought and that counts

The night it began I was at
Harris Teeter
Because Steven had discovered at the last minute
That our milk was bad
and he needed it to make tortillas.

There were so many people
(I parked across the street)
It seemed like everyone was a college student
Buying beer and wine
Or a mom buying cat food.

I stood in line for the self check out
With my one bottle of milk
In the middle of the shampoo aisle
When from the front of the store
We heard someone shout
“It’s snowing!”

And getting home was a bitch.
