It snowed a few inches last night and this morning Brett and I went out with the dog to play in the snow. It is definitely a different type of snow than we got in Pennsylvania and now that it is colder, it didn't "all melt before noon" like the native Coloradoans have been claiming since we moved here. The dog, having probably lived in Colorado his whole life didn't mind the snow a bit but Princess wasn't having any of it, preferring to sit at the window and watch.
We were supposed to go to a holiday party this afternoon hosted by one of my colleagues but we were feeling sick (it hasn't been a great week-headaches, fibro, Brett's broken toe and my falling down the stairs!) so we had to cancel. I give my first final tomorrow--I cannot believe how fast the semester has flown by! Students also turn in their final papers so I will be busy grading (same thing happens Wednesday with my second section) for the next week or so.
Team Beattie has been slowly preparing for the arrival of our Aussie parents/in-laws (9 days to go). Brett keeps looking for a real pine Xmas tree, which apparently is pretty hard to find in Colorado where 99.9% of all of the trees are firs of one type or another. But, our tree will be up and decorated (hopefully) before they get here.
Ok, well, Baxter the Beattie Beagle is being bad (how's that for alliteration?), so I need to run and save the day.
