Needles Everywhere!

So I've been admiring all the wonderful lush green evergreens this past year. When you spend over four years living in the Los Angeles metro area you don't exactly see evergreens that much, its mostly palm trees or some exotic species that someone decided looked good growing in their yard but most of the time it doesn't! Or you end up looking at a lot of oak trees as those are quite prevalent too. Nontheless, since moving into the new house in early Autumn it was great having all the shade. Since late Autumn almost Winter though those same fir trees are shedding needles galore and they are literally everywhere in the house!!! Ugh and the vacuum has a hard time sucking them up out of the carpet. I think I would think twice about living directly under so many evergreens in the future even though I really love trees :-).

Having some difficulties at home lately with sharing of chores and stuff but I think we will soon work something out. One of my close girlfriends, Mel, is planning on taking me out tonight for something warm to drink and then hopefully come back to the house to play cards for awhile. Be nice change of pace.

Still trying to apply for the GIS position with the county. Haven't seen it posted yet. It's supposed to snow with accumulutation this week but we shall see. I have mixed feelings about snow: first, I like to watch it come down and don't mind standing there briefly to have the flakes catch on my nose & eyelashes or attempt to go snowboarding in it as sis will attest to that, but as far as driving in it no way I don't like it one bit.

Hoping to get to go with C when he goes to STL to see his family in a week and then to get our Christmakuh tree when we come back :-). I really want to decorate it with white and blue lights. I think it will look really pretty.
