So, it's been snowing lately. A lot. Check out the view through my back door.

In these photos, it just looks beautiful and wintery, but when you have to drive on roads that looked like this until the snow ploughs and foolish drivers hit them...well, it's just not pleasant. Also it's approximately 2 degrees outside today (for real) and I'm so cold I think I might be losing fingers and toes soon!!

In exciting photography news, the first (and last) huge splurge of 2010 can be seen here:

Now if only I had time to figure out how to use it. :) I've been wanting an SLR for a really long time and we decided to go ahead and get it before our vacation, so that we'll have not just amazing photos, but amazing photos. I'm so grateful that Andrew at least pretends to understand the importance of amazing photos.

Speaking of Andrew - drastic update for him yesterday! Check out the before and after -

Here he is before, with long flowing locks and lots of facial hair.

And after. Quite a change, isn't it? I think he's super hot. ;)

So far, so good on the CALM front this year. Granted, we're only 4 days in...but I made myself a nice little reminder that hangs on the wall in my bedroom and is one of the first things I see every morning. I made the word art for free at http://www.wordle.net/! Fantastic site, check it out and make your own super cool word collages. :)

Off to accomplish many things before I head back to work at 5!

PS - 10 days until VACATION!!!! :)
