Things I Love

Today's installment of Things I Love: Snow. Not that we actually got snow today, mind you. We got those gross, sleety, slushy nonsense. Which made me appreciate snow that much more. I love its silence, I love its diamond-bright brilliance (is anything else that color), I love that noise it makes when you crunch it beneath your boots, I love its clean smell, and I love most of all the fact that it makes days extraordinary, an excuse to break out of that numbing routine you go through over and over. 

Things I Accomplished Today

(1) Revised the Six Month Plan. One must keep these things in constant flux. Made the decision to look into refinancing the mortgage to see if it's viable for me to keep the condo past July.

(2) Actually made an appointment with a financial planner. Go me! Although I think he was surprised when he started talking about retirement and I was like, "First I have to save money so I can quit my job."

(3) Planned a trip to New Orleans to visit the Judge. Yay! I so cannot wait for good food. My mouth is already watering for beignets at Cafe du Monde. I have to remember to eat enough to carry me through to my next visit to New Orleans.
