the blackest month of all the year…

is the month of janveer. that’s january folks. and if you live in pittsburgh, pa, you know what i mean. it has been cloudy for two weeks straight, and it’s starting to make me weary. the brightest it has been seems like dusk to me, with the charcoal clouds hanging low. and winter is just getting started.

i’ve decided to keep my therapeutic christmas tree up through this month. the extra lights and prettiness help seb and i through the dreary days. seb is as attached to the therapy tree as me–he insists on turning on the lights as soon as we come downstairs in the morning. thank goodness for seb so i have an excuse to keep it up!

friends of ours came to town for the holidays. they are newly-weds (gag, choke) and brought pictures to astound us with from their honeymoon in the canadian rockies. the canadian rockies somehow put the us rockies to shame. so now i have mountains on my mind and no plan to get a dose.

one optimistic thought brings me some relief: the days are getting longer again.

stay tuned for some pics of christmas presents and seb…
