Bonus: a hurricane triggered by butterfly wings

A bonus photo - I chose the icicles for today's official photo because it's appropriate - the weather's nasty, there's another winter storm advisory, and its slushy, slush everywhere slush. Today I found something I wrote on February 11th of last year, when it was 68 degrees. Jebus. It seems like this winter will never end - I know that's not true, but that's the feeling of today.

So, this photo: not butterfly wings, but it reminded me of them. And even though today was nasty, it had its gifts: a really good yoga class, and a happy invitation that made me verklempt. My sister-in-law is getting married in October, and she emailed to ask if I would be willing to be a bridesmaid, since her sister is the maid-of-honor and she thought it would be cool if "her other sister was up there too". This means more to me than I can even say - Dr. Nick's family is straight up awesome, and while sometimes I've felt like the orphan with her nose pressed up against the glass looking in, today I'm inside and warm and cozy.

I'm just waiting for these to start melting.

Any time now. Really.

Is it a Jackson Pollock? DNA unwinding to replicate? No, it's this crazy tree, reaching out to get you, my pretty!

Oh yeah. Day 25 of 365.

Day 24 of 365.

We went over to the house of our friends Bill & Blair tonight, ostensibly to commit snackrilege and watch the Super Bowl, but I mostly watched the Leo show. He's such a ham, and a very sweet cat. I was with Blair when she met him at Petsmart, over 2 years ago now! I thought this was a better photo, but I really loved this one

Bonus: more winter!

While it's not a thrilling prospect, have another winter picture.

Day 23 of 365.

So, the Snowpocalypse - kind of a let-down in Charleston. It's slushy and nasty and wet, but there's no real accumulation of snow. It will probably get icy and too cold and be more treacherous tomorrow.

This picture kind of reminds me of brains. Because that's how my brain works, for better or for worse.

Day 22 of 365.

While we wait for Snowmageddon to arrive, it hasn't been much fun to shoot photos outside. Such nasty, cold, icy rain.

Day 21 of 365.

As seen in the upstairs window on a walk in my neighborhood. At least, it didn't move. I don't think. Gulp.

I've been Grumpelstiltskin all day, so Dr. Nick took me to Lola's and my mood is much improved.
