i find this incredibly humorous. the washington area is anticipating four to eight inches of snow tonight and tomorrow morning. not a big deal, right? HA! washingtonians are freaking out. people are stocking up at grocery stores, getting enough stuff to be prepared for nuclear winter, let alone just a good snowfall. it means there's a possibility that the government could shut down tomorrow, which could be fun--i haven't had a snow day in eons and would love the chance to curl up with a movie and fill out some holiday cards or something. or maybe explore and take some winter photos of the city--that would be nice! i can't help but laugh at the fact that the rest of the city is panicking while my fellow vermonters here are psyched about the possibility of being able to go sledding.

i had my first experience eating chanukkah food last night--alison served me some of her potato latkes. mmm...they were tasty.

still rather tired, but certainly doing better than yesterday. looking forward to running tonight and going shopping for some christmas decorations. not to mention that i need to look up some recipies for holiday food, as i want to prepare a christmas dinner for the fam when they're here...
