Sunday Procrastination

I got this handmade card from Natalie...except there is nothing in it. I feel like there is a subtle message.

I had great plans to spend the morning/early afternoon mimicking David Attenborough, but the weather has put a stop to that. It’s gotten so windy out that I’d be better off mimicking one of the Weather Channel morons in the middle of a hurricane. Instead I am listening to Christmas music punctuated with crashes of thunder. In some ways I like the dreary weather. It’s kind of cold and I can ALMOST pretend its Christmas-y out. Almost enough to pull out A Christmas Story. I’ve been thinking I should introduce this movie to some non-Americans, but really? Would they get just how great it is? Do you have to be American?

Marah wrote this for me. She is a much better speller than I, but I don't know why some words are highlighted. I think I am the girl on the left. I must've been having a good hair day for once.

Either way, I'm looking forward to being back in the US in less than two weeks.

In case you haven’t noticed, I actually don’t have anything interesting to say…I just can’t motivate myself to work at the moment. I’ve been working like a mad person the past two weeks and have gotten not one but two papers submitted to my boss (ok, one of them isn’t really mine, but I worked damn hard on it).

I got this from a graduate student. The similarities between it and the ones from my nieces is a bit disturbing.

Yesterday I took the ENTIRE day off. It felt so decadent. Spent most of the day in the city, learning about the fiddle, foreign countries and doing my best to not think about ENSO, Modoki or sea ice.

Ok I should really go do some work…or take a nap.
