On a Saturday in December
The Problem: No real food in the house for lunch.
The Solution: Peanut butter and Nutella sandwich. With a side of Cheese Nips. Mmmm, calories.
To be fair, the Cheese Nips are reduced fat and it's wheat bread, does that count?
Yeah, we should probably go grocery shopping. It's so hard, though, with everyone leaving so soon. Caitlin heads home on Tuesday. Tuesday! Which means Christmas is, like, super duper close. Two weeks away!
Christmas in two weeks I'm contemplating turning on my air conditioning. How weird is that? It's December 11th and 84 degrees outside. I'm not used to it, although I'm not complaining. The weather is one of the bigger reasons I moved out here. With the last couple weeks getting down into the low 30s at night, I was thinking that maybe California isn't as warm as I thought it would be. But, ahhhhh, here we are. 84 and sunny, with blue skies and green palm trees (and a few red-leafed regular trees holding onto autumn) and mountains hills rising up in the distance. Lovely.

It's funny, I never thought I'd move some place that is usually COLDER than Chicago, yet, here I am. And while it's not as exotic and lovely as Cali, it's not too shabby. Like the people, the beer is good. But man, it would be so much better if it was 84 and Sunny. Mmmm. I think that Alaska is the only place darker in the winter.

Hey Kate! I know how you feel. I wake up and it's 70+ degrees outside and it's hard for it to feel like Christmas. Don't get me wrong I'd rather this than a horrific cold windy blustery day, but isn't it strange!? I hope that you have an awesome Christmas! I miss you and Caitlin and I hope that I can come visit soon!
