It is *freezing* outside right now. It started to snow a little earlier, but then it was kinda raining, then it turned into a frozen rain, and I believe it's snowing once again.
Winter is here.
The lights on Michigan Avenue are up and everything is starting to get festive in the city. Holiday sales are going on and I need to go and buy some decorations for the home. I'd love to get one of those animatronic things that creep out little kids and small animals to put up on my front lawn.
I've had the biggest yearning for some Starbuck's Peppermint Hot Cocoa. But I'm broke, so I figured I'd just buy the peppermint syrup that they use and make my own hot cocoa. I've been on a huge hot cocoa kick at the office. So I stopped by the Starbuck's downstairs and they didn't have any more. So I walked several blocks to the closest Starbucks to go and buy some. Once I have an itch, I'll do everything I can to scratch it.
So I made some hot cocoa with my new peppermint syrup and it was *yummy*. I could very well OD on hot cocoa here in the office!
So I am content. A nice, relaxing four day weekend is coming with lots of family and food.
Happy almost thanksgiving everyone!
