While Cincinnati has been busy making these…

House decorations!
Just don't stand under them.

 

We’ve been busy too!

Look, it's "R" chocolate!

Making these…

Holiday gingersnaps
Sugar cookies
Red sugar cookie wreaths
Cinnamon sugar reindeer
Creme de Menthe cookies
White chocolate peppermint pretzels
Bacon and eggs
Green eggs and ham

Yum! We also played round after round of Mario Kart on the Wii. Sometimes you just need a night to do nothing but melt chocolate and play games. We still have Thank You cards to finish stuffing and plenty of other odds and ends to tie up, but I think a night of relaxation and time together was totally necessary. Today I met Ted for lunch at UC and then spent the afternoon with him at CCM helping him rearrange and reorganize his office. Also met a few of the department’s faculty who had some pointers on possible jobs. I’ll look into it and see what comes of it. On Friday night we’ll be seeing Cincy Ballet’s The Nutcracker and on Sunday we’ll make the 2-hour trip up to Columbus to visit with some family. We’re both really looking forward to that, but not so much the winter storm we’re supposed to get slammed with tonight. Bummer – guess that means I won’t be leaving the house tomorrow. Ted says South Dakota is experiencing nice weather right now – maybe I’ll migrate there for the winter. You know things are messed up when it hits 30 degrees and Thin Skin (um, that’s me) walks outside and thinks “Man, this feels nice!” because it isn’t -1 like it was when we woke up this morning.

On the way home I noticed our neighbor put up a reindeer in the front yard – I shall call him Glitter for appropriate reasons.  Time to try some of those goodies we made!

    WOW that is an impressive spread of goodies. Could you email some to me?? :)

    Those are some crazy lethal-looking icicles, by the way. You should definitely stay inside.
