baby, it's cold outside.....

ok, so when the mm opts to wear a coat on her daily walk to the mailbox to retrieve the newspaper, then it is officially cold.....cold enough that the cat balked at the chance to walk with me......cold enough that there was an audible crunch when i stepped off the walk onto the grass by mistake....ironically, the chill kept me awake as i drove home last night from lawrenceburg's diabetes support group......hard to doze off when it takes a while for car to warm up......christmas preparations are coming together...not much left to do, given that none of us had any real needs...or wants.....so with just a few items per person to go under the tree......i may have time to bake a few batches of traditional cookies........its never too cold for cookies....
