clearing out two weeks worth of mail definitely took way longer than expected, but thank you to all those who sent cards! :)

k have a load of errands to run, esp if i want to have more time to nuah at home over e next three days, before it's off to chicago to meet up with friends before sch starts. been doing quite a bit of jetting ard this winter break, but better make the most of it while i can!

so it's back from the hot 15 C vegas weather into the -10C madison snow. ahhh to think i was still complaining abt how intense e sun/hot the weather was.

all the same, it's good to be back.

if anyone ever gets the chance, take a trip to Death valley. it's gorgeous... ahh geography at it's finest
