I have been soooooo very bad about posting these last few weeks. I started working again, I'm now an archives technician at a government agency I won't name here. It's enjoyable and very low stress thus far. The only slight difficulty is the getting up at 6am part. I'm not really a morning person (as my family may well attest). I'm hoping this job will help me decide if I truly want to be a librarian (or perhaps I should rephrase), rather if I truly want to invest all my time and salary for the next 2-3 years in pursuit of an MLS degree. We'll see.......

We finally got some snow, but this photo is from last year I have to admit. No, the lake is not yet frozen this year (and yes, I am getting pretty worried that it won't be by Dec. 29, so if you're coming you may want to bring a canoe). The snow is a welcome change, it brightens things up and quiets the road noise a bit. I'm looking forward to more, hopefully sooner rather than later. I'm anxious to get out skiing on the trails.
