Baby It's Cold Outside...

BBrrrr...it's been record lows the past few days up here in the Emerald City. There's ice on the ground, and a snow storm heading towards us this weekend!

It's a good thing our heater doesn't work...oh wait. hah, sigh...on the bright side, if we close the bathroom door&bedroom door, the central part of our apartment stays a lot warmer! The downside being going to the bathroom is like going to the bathroom in your refrigerator. And we've been avoiding the arctic circle (the bedroom) and sleeping out here on the sofa bed because it's warm from us sitting on it all day, and this is where the warm blankets are.

I think I'm going to bake cookies to warm up the house and add a bit of delicious joy into our lives, hehe! :) I've been bent on baking ever since some neighbors came and borrowed some flour & sugar from us yesterday...Kyle answered the door in pink flannel PJs (hahaha, his pjs were dirty, so I let him borrow mine) they were 2 teenage girls, hahaha :D don't tell him I told you about that...but anyway, I'm going to go bake up a storm! I'll post pictures of the creations later :)

Getting into the Holiday Spirit!

We bought our little Christmas tree on Sunday and got it all dolled up in ornaments and bows...and our initial ornaments at the top :)

It's really been feeling like winter-time up here! It's been in/around 20-30 degrees the past few days...and on our walk to the grocery store this morning, there was frost on the grass and all the puddles were frozen! It is chilly!! Brrr...

But we keep warm, drinking warm apple cider, hot teas, silk nog, and coffee [with holiday flavored creamers like cinnamon bun & carmel apple & peppermint] :)

We went Christmas shopping yesterday, and I bought a few gifts! Today I sent out some holiday cards to friends and family :)

I love this season!

In need of Inspiration

I'm currently suffering from a lack of inspiration. I don't really know what triggered it, but I just realized that I am quite restless. I need to do something...make something...feel something. But I don't know what.

I'm just aimlessly wandering around in an empty room, and I don't know how long I've been here.
I think the remedy is going out and stretching my legs...it's a nice sunny day out, though still a bit chilly, 32 degrees or so. 


Maybe what I need is snow!

I know the mountains are full of snow right now...wouldn't that be refreshing? That sounds nice, doesn't it? A day in the snow :)


I just need to get out of this funk. It drifts in and out of my days, and I can't pin point it's source. I'm happy with where I live, who I'm living with (who I love dearly!)...what I eat...I think it's what I do to be honest. This whole not working thing/lack of productivity is really getting to me. I actually look forward to doing work for school...or cleaning! Sigh. I guess that's the problem. Trying to find a job while having made promises to go home for the holidays is tough work. No one wants someone who immediately wants loads of time off...especially because most people are hiring FOR the holidays! I'll feel better once I have work to do :)



Maybe I'll busy myself with a bit of creativity... but for that I need to buy a hot glue gun! And some string...
