MMMMMMM
It's absolutely gorgeous out and the snow falls continuously over the trees outside my window. I sip my wine in comfort as Evanesence plays on my computer and I work comfortably on a website. The fire is crackling in the fireplace (does gas fires crackle? OK, maybe it's not crackling, per se), and I smell the mixture of Christmas tree and cranberry/vanilla candles. I smirk as various friends ring with updates on their multiple hour trip home because people in Indiana can't drive in snow, and of course the snow decided to start piling up at rush hour. Just when I thought it doesn't pay to stay home and do volunteer work, things like this remind me of the joys of being "stuck" home :)
