The winter residents of the lake - pelicans, herons, cormorants, grebes (?), egrets, and coots - are returning. Nothing starts my day better than a flotilla of pelicans cruising by.

Flotilla? Is that like a tortilla?

Only if a tortilla is another word for shark... or dolphin... or... :D

Heh. That sounds fantastic. I love egrets. People think I'm silly for it too. I really wish I lived on a lake.

[sinatra]♫ Oh yes, I've had egrets. But then again, too few to mention.[/sinatra]

heh.

Going to see Stomp this weekend, with my mom and sis-in-law and nieces. I've seen it before, but it's going to be even more fun watching the nieces reactions!

That makes me wanna dance.

Hey, do you guys love me now that I can DaNcE? :)

Did you get some too?

thanks all! I am quite ositive. Did I spell that right.lol


snow! snow!
I love snow. We never get any.

Ooohhh, I just thought of something: this college rarely ever closes for weather reasons, yet I see the college where I'll be working closing a lot for weather reasons.

Heeheee, already planning my days off!

Sleepin in, warm bed....hot chocolate... hmm :( I never get that.

Down comforter, blizzard outside, television, computer games...

One more for the "pro" column!

Big fuzzy throw blanket, hot tea, a good book... damn, I miss winters in Western NY. Here, there's a dusting of snow on the road, everything shuts down. Up there, it takes at LEAST three feet of snow for people to even CONSIDER closing roads/schools/businesses!!

A couple of things that made me happy today (in between the things causing irritation or dismay):

The sound of Pilau eating...munch, munch, crunch,crunch *scraping of bowl across floor* crunch, crunch, munch, munch. Ends on a burp.

A tasty meal: baked potato with butter and tuna/mayo mix with chopped spring onion and chilli.

The moment when I decided I wasn't doing any more work and was just going to chill and watch TV.

*smiles* it really is the little things.
