silence

Wow....Nov. 14th was my last blog. I'm already sucking at this! I had the best intentions! Anyhoo, I was nudged by a friend to blog so here I am. No real topic in mind...
It's getting cold here...like, just today it turned cold. Or maybe I just haven't been noticing. I was cold in KY over Thanksgiving. As a matter of fact, Nick and I were on a mountain bike ride and I yelled for him to stop because I noticed flakes of white falling from the sky. I honestly thought it must have been pollen or dust from a fire or something but when I watched a flake land on Nick's black jacket, it melted. "IT'S SNOW!!"......"KISS ME!" I yelled. So right there on the bike trail in the woods we stopped to commemorate the first snow of our season with a kiss.
I keep seeing status comments on facebook from friends up north saying "{name} is loving the snow!" or "{name} is freezing in the snow." So that's fun. Glad it's not THAT cold here. Facebook...status...brings me to another point....
I really wish it didn't have an "is" after your name in the status field. Because sometimes Kelsey Howard Jones "was" and sometimes Kelsey Howard Jones "wants" or Kelsey Howard Jones "used to".....you get the picture. Dear Facebook creator....let me come up with my own verbs.
So this blog really has no point. We have a Christmas tree in our living room. One HALF of a strand of white lights keeps going out. That's what we get for getting the cheap ones. Frustrating. But it's still beautiful. Nick is sitting here next to me on the couch with my awesome guitar playing everything from Steve Ray Vaughn to John Mayer to Andrew Peterson...he's really good. I wish I was as good a guitar player as him. But I can school him at piano. Not that I'm keeping score. Sometimes I remind myself of Monica on Friends. But that is a whole other can of worms....I'll blog about that sooner or later. love, warmth, and christmas lights to you. :-)
