The New Musings of a Quiet Geek

Welcome back to winter in Maine. We got dumped upon pretty well yesterday. We spent a good chunk of the day watching Season 3 of Mad About You and eating chocolates my parents sent up. Yes, we had a very feminine snowy Valentine's Day. Go us! Today, I really needed bread so I trudged out into the cold. Yay for Rite Aid across the street because even just going that far, climbing over snowbanks, really pissed off my knee. It was like, "I'm going to dislocate on principle!" Thankfully, it didn't but it'll be awhile before I decide to go out there again. I think I'm going to go warm up some soup...

Here's a blow by blow account of my recent Christmas and subsequent vacation for you all to peruse.

I also installed some new software for her and previewed some CD-roms for Christian education at my own church for my father. Exciting, no? (The answer is no.) Ok, so I'm really liking Kelly Clarkson's new album way more than I really should. I haven't bought it yet because, well, it goes against my usually impeccable music taste. I suppose she did actually co-write some of the songs so maybe it's not that big a deal. I don't know. It still bothers me though. I've been so cold since I came back from Florida. I wasn't there long enough to get climatized, was I? True, I will be 28 on Wednesday but I didn't think cold affected you until you were in your 70's or so. Has this changed or am I just wrong? I was surprised the Halliwells dumped their disguises so quickly. I think that's what I like about Charmed the...
