Wedding ideas

I'm still collecting bits and pieces of wedding fluff, and in the meantime my virtual photo file is getting bigger and bigger. I can't believe we're almost 6 months out until the big day!!!

Ice ice baby

For the past few days we've been contending with a really persistent ice fog. The temperatures are hovering in the mid-teens during the day, but the fog gets into your bones and makes the weather feel so much colder. And more miserable. The streets are sporting a slickery sheen of ice as well.

These photos were taken from my office window.

Almost looks like a horror movie out there! Just imagine a couple zombies or ghosts walking out of that dense fog.

Gift idea

If you love Marimekko stuff as much as I do, scoot on over to Avon and grab yourself a Crusade Tote:

The bags are only $10 each and the net profits go towards breast cancer. I bought two and ended up giving one away during a Chinese (or white elephant) gift exchange. The tote is way super cute and I've already had strangers ask me where I got it. Mostly I use it tote paperwork or my lunch from work to home, and it's holding up pretty well.

Monday update

Sorry about the lack of posts. I feel like Christmas has thrown up all over me at work. Holiday cards, parties, 565 gift baskets, and a Santa visit. The downside of planning all this stuff as part of my job is I get home and am so over anything Christmas. And that means I'm not doing holiday cards for me and D this year. Maybe I'll design something, post it on my blog and call it good.

My sister arrives in Anchorage on Friday for an annual delivery job. She makes a nice chunk of change for 4 days of work, and then gets to vist with me and her friends during the rest of the trip. Now I need to clear out the guest bedroom for her -- currently there are quite a few boxes of wedding items taking up precious floor space in that room.

And for your viewing pleasure, here is a yearling moose that jumped into our backyard yesterday. It got a couple good bites of one of our bushes before D and Drift scared it off.
