silver inches

1. i helped my mother create a "myface" account. in other words, a facebook. goodness, what have i done? it was fun helping her find old friends and show her how to fill out all the information. i am not friends with her though...that's just too much information and a little bit too weird for me!
2. the princess bride is a classic. i love this movie and quote it often. i also found out today that it's a real book, just like the grandpa says, so maybe i'll check it out sometime. i'm sure the book is better than the  movie, although the movie is excellent. 
3. since i leave for NYC on monday, i decided to start packing today. i picked out all my outfits and made packing list, so uber nerdy, i know. but packing for trips is always really fun; now the unpacking is the terrible part. and i hope the airport isn't terrible since the most recent foiled terrorist plot...

so you may be wondering about my post's title. "silver inches" is one of my favorite songs by Enya. it is short, but always puts me in a good mood. i'm not sure why, either. but i like the concept of silver inches...which brings me to my mini-topic of snow. SNOW!!! how i love it. the white blanket that makes the world mysterious and beautiful and pure. the song reminds me of snow falling, and the inches (hopefully) that add up to make a silvery wonderland. it snowed on new year's eve and today. i find it appropriate that it snowed and made the world a new place on new year's eve. it's almost like even the weather was starting over. how snow makes me feel is a complex thing. the transformation that snow can bring is inspiring to me as i start out on this new year's mission. while snow is not always a welcome or delicate affair (a particular reference to a red roof inn comes to mind), the powerful influence that weather has is something that always astounds me. too much, too little, just enough...so that brings me to my daily picture. did i mention there will be a daily picture? anyway, there will be. yesterday was fireworks and today is...

snow!
