*stella's sense of snow.

Where the hell have I been?

Well, I've been snowed in, of course. Yes, in Alabama.

I know, right? I could hardly believe it myself. But it was gorgeous and perfect and giddy-making.

Living as we do, deep in sweltering summer territory, we weren't quite sure what to make of this particular type of humidity.

Especially because all that pretty precipitation could only mean one thing: SNOW PARTY.

The sheer awesomeness was almost more than we could fully understand.

We donned our sweats and drank our wine and wagged our tails and ate Fritos dipped in chili.

And that might have been the greatest gift of all.




Also, there was Valentine's Day. I was curled up by a warm fire, sipping wine and watching the snow drift with the one I love.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to sound so testy. I could never stay cross with you. What's that you say? "Owl be your Valentine?"

Oh, Stella. You're a hoot.

I am a work in progress. I perpetually need a hair cut. I'm totally devoted to my remarkable nieces and nephew. I am an elementary home cook and a magazine worker bee. (Please criticize my syntax and spelling in the comments.) I think my dog is hilarious. I like chicken and spicy things. I have difficulty being a grown-up. Left to my own devices, I will eat enormous amounts of cheese snacks of all kinds.
