Christmastime Life Snippets

Like many weekends, I got my sleep-schedule completely turned around and I was up till 3 a.m. last night. Needless to say, my brain isn’t quite working at full-capacity yet. So today’s update will be bullet-points…

  • Erie snowfall 12/11/2009I’m going home in five days. FIVE DAYS, ya’ll!
  • Did I mention that I’m driving home to Erie, Pennsylvania — otherwise known as the icy tundra? The land of LAKE EFFECT snow! Oh what fun. (That photo was taken looking off my mom’s back porch on 12/11.)
  • I haven’t driven in snow since 2006. This could be interesting.
  • I’m not looking forward to 11-hours of driving…
  • But it’s worth it. I get to see my family and several old friends who are coming home for the holidays as well. Yay!
  • I have a lot to do in the meantime. Car needs an oil change and to be cleaned out, I need to pack, etc. etc.
  • My Christmas shopping is DONE. How’s yours coming along?
  • My Christmas knitting, however, is still in-process. As usual, I bit off a bit too much. (But it wouldn’t be ME and wouldn’t be Christmas if I didn’t!)

Annnnd… now I shall return to caffeinateing my system. (Thank goodness for Starbucks!) Happy Monday!

    Ohhhh I miss snow for Christmas. That’s the one downside to living in Tennessee. We never have a white Christmas!

    Urggggh, Erie??? I used to go to school in Syracuse, and had to drive I-90 home to Cleveland all the time… and Erie was always the worst. Bumper to bumper traffic amid 3 feet of snow. Your picture definitely made me NOT miss home!

    Hang in there, SITSta!

      Oh ya! That stretch of I-90 is treacherous! I was born and raised in Erie but relocated to Nashville 3 years ago, so I’ve been out of the lake effect snow for a few years.

    *gasp* How beautiful is that snow?! Oh I’m so jealous. Gosh I wish it’d snow like that in SoCal…

    Have a safe trip!!
