It's Aloha Friday...

Okay, it's Thursday. But it's sort of Friday because tomorrow is a holiday! Wooooo! Three. Day. Weekend. Even better is that I get to see friends who are home from all over the world for the holidays. E.g. home from Bangladesh and Moldova. As well as far flung states. Reunion!

I found this column about adjusting to winter in the NYT today and thought it was spot on. I can totally relate. Enjoy!

P.S. It's my mama's birthday today.  
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!

I love Christoph Niemann's posts for the New York Times. Whenever they pop up in my morning news perusal I come close to squealing in delight. Today you too can have the pleasure of reading "Let It Dough!" Go read it! It will make you happy.
