So, I'm a little slow on moving Christmas back to the basement. There's just something about the soft glow of Christmas tree lights in the evenings that I find so comforting. I absolutely hate voluntarily taking it away. But seeing as it is January 23, I figured it was about time. We'd get pretty weird looks if we have visitors over any time soon.
I heard "A Long December" this morning and thought about the different incarnations it has taken throughout my life. It has morphed to the moment on more occasions than I can count, but it is still and has always been a beautiful piece of art.
Recently, I've just been bogged down by the winter. I'm groggy, cranky, lazy, tired, unmotivated and just generally not the self I like to be. In fact, I almost considered moving to Arizona (and if you know anything about me, that's damn near the last place I'd want to move, given any amount of choices). I miss sunshine, shorts and swimming pools. But mostly, I just miss taking long walks in the warm weather with no destination in particular, spending time enjoying the beautiful city in which I live.
When it gets dark outside at 5:30, I feel like I need to be in bed at 6. And that's just no fun.
Anyway, Sean and I are planning on crossing off two more from our Oscar nominee list this weekend - Argo and Life of Pi. And I'm going out with friends after work on Friday for tapas. Definitely a few things to look forward to!
