Checking in

As you may be able to infer based on my return to sporadic blogging, things are more or less back to normal. Don't get me wrong, there's still mountains of snow everywhere and I'm now on something like Day 23 in wellies-as-main-footwear. But there's work, and there's school, and there's karate, and there's parade planning, and there's the usual weekend shenanigans. So I've been busy.

Just hopping on to share a bit of happiness from last night, and will certainly embellish when I'm not 30 minutes late getting out the door (and my hair's still wet!). But last night's Facebook status update, sent from my phone from the upstairs bar at Murphy's....."at this moment, cannot imagine anywhere she'd rather be". I love my friends, I love my community, I love my town and last night was just the most beautifully perfect storm of all of them. I don't know what I did to have such good fortune smile on me, but I'm just oh so glad it did.

Until next time!

It all sounds fantastic, "I love my community...", not something you'd here in this part of the world, a very different and selfish attitude exists here, for the majority. Glad to know it still exists in the USA.

Good to know you're making it through! Hope that next round of storms will leave DC alone. :)

It does still exist here, but it's hard to fine, Welshcyclist. Or at least it's hard to find in the DC area. I just got so unbelievably lucky in my choice of neighborhood. That, and when I first moved here I had to LOOK for a community to belong to because I knew no one. I think the warm fuzziness that is this town, plus my deliberate efforts combined to make a wonderful situation for me now.

Also, thanks Trisha! It's skipping us and bombing Philadelphia and New York instead, but I'm holding out hope that the Farmers' Almanac is correct in its prediction for the biggest storm of the season on March 7-10th! Seriously, I think all this snow is the best thing that's happened to me in years.
