Have you ever..

"Scooped" your driveway of snow with a small plastic dust pan?! =D Well I just did. I guess it was the endorphins from exercise earlier in the day speaking, so i had the insanity to do it. Hey! I've been needing the exercise, and it's good cardio. =D No doubt might right arm and legs will kill me in the morning tomorrow, or most likely on Wednesday, but crazy people like me don't mind. It's good pain. Today was the first real winter storm we've had all season (three months late of course) and thus the need to do the drive way. What can I say? The snow shovel is in the van at the office, and I didn't want Dad to come home late this evening (as planned) and have to do the drive way. I also like to be out in the snow while is snowing. Yep, you can officially say I'm insane. =D And lovin' it!

Hm, now I'm hungry... Snack anyone?!

What I'm doing =)

Right now I'm sitting on my lovely couch in the living room and am greatly enjoying the use of Mom's laptop. (Love laptops!) A few minutes a go we finished an episode of that famous (or infamous, however you like) show Lost. It's the final season! How could you not keep up with it?! Hehe. Yeah, roll you're eyes if you like. =P (Oh look, here's Patick, with an idea he's explaining to me). So, now what to do... What to write? Hm, maybe I'll get some hot cocoa. Sounds good to me! =D After all, the teperature in the room as I've been sitting here been slightly declining it seems. I'm very happy that tomorrow is Saturday! Although today, after some painting, started to feel like a Thursday, possibly because I usually do my painting on the week days. It's almost finished! It's a painting of an English country cottage I made for Mom. Just a few more bushes to go and I'll be done! =D I'll post a picture of it as soon as I can.

A few days ago I started reading some Sherlock Holmes again. The Hound of Baskerville Halls. It's probably one of my favorite cases. =) The writing of Conan Doyle is superb! No movie will compare! (Okay, stop raving =P ) Hehe. Reading in the late evening is a nice change for a while. There is another book I've just about finished too, it's called The Problem Of Evil by Charles Colson and Nancy Pearcy (who also co-authored The Universe Next Door). It explains how our western world has become what it is through people who created certain beliefs, ways of government, our ethics of today, scientific beliefs and influences, and other such things. It's basicly a book on several worldviews, but it's explained in a way relivent and comprehendable to the general reader, instead of just stating it and then explaining the general idea of what it is. So if you're interested in it (and in understanding people around you), I highly recommend this book. It's a must have. =)

So there you have a glimpse into how my brain runs in the evening. =) (You never knew the random thoughts I get did you?! I hope you enjoyed!)

Now for the cup of hot cocoa!

I know you're wondering "Why hasn't Jessica posted in a while?". Well, truth be told I haven't had internet access on my Mac for connection reasons, but the other thing is I haven't had any good ideas. Hehe, yes even a creative person becomes uninspired. =) Things I guess have been rather uneventful for the past month, at least for me. Hehe. I'm glad to say that it's snowing right now! Although for you Texans reading, you have more snow to be proud of than we do. I'm jealous! (In a good way though ;))I can't wait to go down and see all you peeps, my faithful readers! =D I'm so excited to help Christy and Josh out for a while, and seeing Katie and my Grandparents. It'll be so fun! Well till next post,you all have a fun Valentines Day weekend and enjoy some lovely chocolate from Lindor too.

Cheers!
