Uninspired

One whole month.  Totally uninspired to write anything of substance... or anything at all.

There was a blizzard here last night.  16 inches with huge snow drifts.  It honestly didn't seem too terrible for being "the worst storm in the past 12 years".  It lacked the ice that can make winter dreadful.  So 2010 ended with my life in a blizzardy mess spinning out of control.  I began picking up the pieces at the beginning of the year and its been tough but good.  I'll share more later.  Lets just say spring is coming people.  Spring is coming...

What a fun Christmas weekend!  Christmas in MN, a few in IA and a birthday dinner to boot.  Lots of licks and laughs!  The licks were from the dogs ;)

Ice Skating in St. Paul on Christmas Eve.
Beautiful snow and Christmas music in the outdoor rink.

Never just a stroll... there's always a race to be had!

I got the camera I wanted!  Completely unexpected.
