Happy December!
I am having fun filling our home with the season, from the music to the movies (my brother Brendan, Noah and I watched this hilarious favorite last night), to the card-assembling station on the table to the presents I have stashed in my closet.
I am definitely a procrastinator, always have been, but I like to think that I really immerse myself in the season, enjoying every little thing and not simply doing them to check them off of my to-do list. I'm glad I still have several more gifts to buy (and make!)!! :)
I'm sure glad it is Christmas time, because the joy and happy busy-ness of that is helping in a small way to keep my mind of the crazy wind we are experiencing. Last night it howled (exacerbated by our neighbor's empty above-ground pool which catches the breeze and lets you know about it with an awful wailing) and gusted and kept me awake from 3am on. I was a bundle of nerves, with our bed right by the window and trees right outside. It was ok though, because I used the time to catch up on some shows online, ones to make me laugh, like Modern Family and Daily Show. :)
The wind has not let up today, though it is about 23 times less frightening in the daylight! Plus, the sun is out and the sky is clear, so hooray for that. :)
I was sad (and scared) to notice a fallen tree very close to us- a huge old ash tree (I think), looking ominous as it rested horizontal on the pathway, it's roots sticking up at all angles. Crossing my fingers our trees have strong root systems! :)
On the bright side, I foresee an afternoon of Christmas crafts, happy mail in my mailbox and a husband home before it gets dark. :)
About Me
- emily
- I'm a diaper-changing, swing-pushing, story-telling Mama with a creative streak and a nurturing spirit. I like growing food and flowers (and people, hehe), sewing clothes and quilts, cooking and eating and running, a long, tight hug and the color yellow. I love date nights at home, spontaneous trips to the bookstore and hearing my babies laugh. I am indecisive, exaggerative and I overuse parentheses. I am reflective and sentimental and quick to laugh. I think I still picture myself as a 22-year old, yet every year my life gets more fulfilling. I am still figuring out exactly who I am. :)

I know exactly how you felt! The wind ws terrifying at our house too. The tree outside my window looked like it was going to be cut in two and my car was parked right under it. Luckily the tree is still standing, but our power was out for two days!
