1 scavenged dinner of grilled cheese sandwiches and canned soup

5 episodes of How I Met Your Mother watched with audio commentary because we’ve seen them all so many times

20 sugar cookies baked and decorated

2 new, successful recipes for the Super Bowl

2 books finished

2 slippery dog walks

5 comments that the snow was taller than Ted

1 snow mobile spotted zipping along our neighborhood (what?!)

Winter hardly ever fazes me, but this is the first year I can ever remember thinking wistfully of spring, allergies and all. It has already been the harshest winter I’ve had in this area, and we are due for more snow on Tuesday! It’s boggling my mind.  I like to think of myself as a hardened New Englander, but maybe living so far south has thinned my blood and made me soft.

So much snow for you guys! I love snow but I am also looking forward to spring. We got some lovely spring preview weather for most of last week and now I’m excited for the real deal in a couple months.
