It's almost 1:30am, and I was just outside making a snow angel. That wasn't my purpose when I went outside, mind you, but as we learn, there's often a silver lining. The last half hour went as follows:
1. I glanced outside at 1am to see a snow-covered Arlington and the snow still falling.
2. I remembered that I parked in a snow spot - where they shovel the snow to when they plow.
3. I contemplated what to do for approximately five minutes. Would the snow keep falling? How long would it take for the plows to get around to our parking lot? Would I have time in the morning? I have to pack for Houston and don't have time to deal with retrieving a towed car. Would I be able to sleep properly knowing that my car could be in tow RIGHT NOW? Clearly not.
So. I put on two pairs of pants, four shirts, socks, boots, a hat and coat, and tromped out to move my car to God knows where. Turns out, there was a fresh spot a mere 1/2 block down! Karma is good today.
The car is moved, I step out to head back to the house, when I realize that it's completely quiet and the snowfall is breathtaking. Took a little stroll (stayed on my block - safety girl), then made the cutest snow angel EVER in the driveway to our parking lot. Seriously. If there were a contest for cute snow angels, heh, I wouldn't even be allowed to enter!
After continuing to take in my pretty surroundings, no longer silent because the plows are on the move (helloooooo! sign!), I came back inside only to find that I look aDORable in my little Pekin winter hat. Seriously, I'm a cutie.
All in all, pretty night, pretty girl, pretty nice surprise. Moments like this are sheerly lovable.

I completely agree. It sounds beautiful. If I still lived there, I hope that you would have called me up to participate in the snow angel making...and maybe a little wine drinking, too.
Cheers.
