...And there is jazz playing inside my house. Basically all of New England was put on a blizzard watch yesterday, and it is still snowing. Usually we get this kind of snowstorm about once a year, but it came very fast and now we can't open the door. If you were in Boston visiting for the holidays, your flight has probably been cancelled. I'm sorry. Since it's difficult to get outside, I would suggest curling up and reading good books and eating chocolate (that's what I've been doing).
Caleb's best friend came over yesterday with his upright bass and stayed the night, so it's rather nice to be sitting here and listening to "Black Orpheus." At the same time, I'm starting to go a little crazy. I am one of those people who goes running every day. The kind of person who goes a bit crazy if they don't. For two days, now (three, counting today) I have not been outside. This is made worse by the fact that for Christmas I was given super-fancy high-tech running gear for cold weather after some family drove me home when I was freezing on the Mass Ave bridge. And now I can't even use it yet.
But I had a wonderful Christmas! A Christmas in which I made figgy pudding with saffron and crystallized ginger, a Christmas in which Ursie ran around in circles after receiving a present, a Christmas in which we all slept in a bit but still jumped on my parents at around 9:30. How was your Christmas? Are you snowed in? What are you doing?
