Snow Day!

Today had some highs and lows. With the snow came class cancelation for Duncan. On a normal Friday, this would mean we get to spend the day together! However, there is a Officer/Staff Retreat at North Avenue this weekend, so I had to traverse the icy roads and get a few things ready for the retreat today. Unfortunately, on the way to the car, I, of course, slipped on the ice and slid down the few steps from our front door to the parking lot. While I am okay (other than a sore back side), I did manage to dump my tea all over myself. This was sad for many reasons. One, my tea was good, and then gone. Two, some of the tea hit my new coat. I think I got most of it off, but I think it's going to require a good dry-cleaning. Three, I fell on my new purse and ripped a seam a bit... and of course, it was covered in tea. It's in the dryer now, and I'm hoping I can hand-stitch it into repair. But the situation is still sad. However, as I am okay, I guess I can't complain too much.

On try to leave the apartment number two, I brought Duncan with me. So I guess we did spend the whole day together! I'm nearing the end of "Not For Sale," and it's just an incredible book. So, I think I'm doing a good job on the Book List. Here's the upcoming reads:

JAN: Not For Sale
FEB: One Hundred Years of Solitude
MAR: Pillars of the Earth
APR: East of Eden
MAY: The Red Tent
JUN: Sex, Drugs, & Cocoa Puffs
JUL: Brother Karamazov (will probably stretch longer than month :))
AUG: The Prodigal God
SEP: The Cost of Discipleship
OCT: Anna Karenina
NOV: Simple Church
DEC: Pilgrim's Progress

Some of these might switch in order, but that's the list!

Lastly, today is the birthday of my awesome dad. I love him so much, and I'm glad to be able to celebrate him today!
