I'm messing around with my blog layout tonight. It was time for a change. But please pardon the awkward stage it's in. I'll keep working on it, and will hopefully be happy soon.

Ok, I'm done. Peacocks are fun.

In Hiding
So, it's snowing outside. 8" and counting. We haven't seen snow like this in the Puget Sound region since 1990. It's kind of a big deal. Kind of. My parents are spending the weekend in Las Vegas with my aunts and uncles. And after careful consideration of several factors I evacuated Bainbridge Island (my current home) in favor of spending the duration of the storm with my brothers and sister in Poulsbo...where there is four wheel drive, a fire burning 24/7, a complete cable package, Wi-Fi, and other human beings to interact with.
Before settling into my dad's favorite chair I stopped through Kitsap's retail mecca to finish up my Christmas shopping and stock up on food stuffs. HOLY COW. Mission accomplished, but I don't know if it was worth fighting through the crowds. Mental note: Don't ever shop on the Saturday before Christmas.
I've been watching tv. Reading design/crafting/wedding trend blogs. Catching up on my email. Being in charge. And living the life of a house cat.
It doesn't look like I'll be going into work tomorrow. I'll give it a good Levengood try, but snow is the perfect excuse to take an un-planned day off. And so close to the Christmas, who really cares? We're all checked out mentally anyway.

Big Trouble in Little Chinatown
The newest episode of Adler and Zenith is up. You should watch it :)
Not so much is happening right now. The overcast sky is getting the best of me this morning. But let's see if I can give a decent re-cap of the last couple of weeks.
I spent Thanksgiving sipping on Lemon Drops with my mom and teasing dad about his poultry carving methods. I made pumpkin/sweet potato pie and cranberry clafoutis, both of which got the thumbs up from everyone but my Grandma. The next day she mentioned two or three times how she was disappointed with my desserts. :) Oh Grandma, what will I ever do with her? We all tried to watch Bottle Rocket, but didn't make it much more than an hour. Sorry, John. And we hastily took our family christmas card picture before I ran out the door to get John on a ferry.
Saturday I played DJ for a wedding ceremony. That role is WAY more stressful than coordinating the processional. But it was fun to help the bride and groom out. Congrats, Charlie & Rosa!
Julie is back east, so I'm house sitting for her. It's just me and Braveheart until Friday. The McAfee's have the most extensive cable package you can buy. And I'm getting addicted to BAD reality TV and Oprah :) Has anyone else seen Ruby?
I've been busy at work holding down the fort. I have a reason to stretch myself every day. That's so cool.
