relieved that SMU came to their senses and decided not to open today. Now I don't have to take vacation just because I don't want to drive!

woken at 4:20 AM by thunder, wind, and sleet. Crazy weather! I really hope I don't have to go to work/class.

Thank God for 3-day weekends.

today's work playlist includes: Florence & the Machine, Cranes, AFI, and Flyleaf. It's the only thing getting me through this long Friday!

in her happy place, listening to music and cataloging serials.

such a ditz when it comes to things like... remembering to bring her lunch to work. SIGH

I finally got my Master's diploma framed, 6 years after getting the degree. It is now proudly displayed in my office.

enjoying one of her favorite winter night treats: hot chocolate with just a tiny tot of Irish whiskey mixed in.

having a happy, peaceful Christmas. New Orleans was lovely, despite the unusual cold! I think it was a good getaway for the family.

everybody has a happy, bright, and blessed new year!
