Ok fine. I've been a little AWOL from blogging for a couple of weeks. I'm sure you're just dying to know things like... how many dead fish did I find on the beach near my brother's house in Seabrook, what did Ben Holloway eat when we got together for dinner, where am I going in a week or so for a job interview? Well, keep waiting, suckas. No, that's not right. What I mean is, "Dear loyal blog readers, please excuse my absence. I am once again breaking the inertia of not posting by crafting a short entry that leaves you with more questions than it answers. For this you have my sincere appologies and promise of reform."

I'll just say a couple of things right now. It snowed 6 inches last night and I'm dying to get out tomorrow and finally try some sledding in this part of the world. Truth to tell, I can't really remember if I've been on a sled since I was a wee one in Wyoming and all of 5 years old. I can't wait! Perhaps A and I will make snow angels too. This Texas-raised girl swoons for snowstorms.

I'm also a little bit in love... with a few pieces of jewelry. Have you ever seen anything as gorgeous as the stuff Ananda Khalsa makes? I'm absoultely certain I'm going to buy something from her, but I can't for the life of me decide which is my favorite. I'm also drooling over the stuff in Anne Gericke's Botanica collection. Plus the Promenade gift shop at Krannert had so many cute earrings and necklaces. And this one isn't jewelry, but I was also completely charmed by the Buddha Board.
