Let it snow

What is it about snow that makes everything so quiet? Is it because it blankets everything and muffles sound? Or because it makes people here not want to drive and so I hear no traffic noise? I can't decide.

I'm feeling pretty cozy in my apartment right now as the first snow of the year falls quietly outside my window. So much is falling, which is so unusual for here. The temperature is supposed to stay below zero for this whole week, so the snow will likely stick around. Perfect timing to get into the Christmas spirit. :)

Today was my Christmas party for work, and I think we got pretty spoiled - we played the presents game where you can unwrap or steal a present. I ended up with a scarf & mittens set as well as a $75 gift card to Winners. What I was really fighting for was a cute purple luggage set, which included a wheely carry-on bag, but it got stolen from me, damn it! But now maybe I can use my gift card to go buy one...

Last night I had a housewarming party and it was fabulous. I made hot apple cider which I then poured generous amounts of red wine into, and I had cookies and rice krispie squares to eat. Lots of fun and festivities were had! I think it's about time I posted some photos of my new place, don't you?
