We're finally in a cooling trend and the storms that blew in this morning are bringing some much colder air in with them. Since the weather was supposed to be on the nasty side, I had planned to get caught up some emails today, but our phone line and DSL have been down for most of the day. Thankfully, a friend of ours works for the phone company and was able to get a technician out to our house within a couple hours instead of the 3 days that customer service originally quoted me! I do want to add that I'm a little embarrassed that I totally freaked out at the possibility of being without internet for 3 days!
I'm thoroughly enjoying a lazy, rainy afternoon, though. I've spend the last few weeks rushing about with my priorities hopelessly skewed. It's days like today that help me re-focus on the important things in life. I've spent the last hour curled up on the couch with my favorite throw blanket (see below!), Christmas tree lights on, and watching it rain outside our living room window. :)
Since there was nothing of real value in this post, I'll share the details of my favorite blanket from Kohl's. I picked it up a few weeks ago for $20 and have been hopelessly in love with it ever since. It's so soft and warm that it makes me want to curl up for a nap! It's normally $49.99, but Kohl's has it online for $22.50. It would make a great, affordable Christmas present!
