Outside my window today:
Grey, rainy and cold. Perfect for hot chocolate, a good book, snuggling on the couch to watch a movie together.
Things that make me happy:
Listening to cello practice.
Advent calendars with the kids.
I'm reading:
I’m still in Dance of Dragons. This week I think I managed to read a mere hundred pages, and with the wrestling tournament this weekend, I might not get much read any time soon.

Tips and Tricks:
My boss flushed her cell phone down the toilet at work this week. Through her trial, I learned that a replacement SIM card went in an old phone and seamlessly had her back up and running. How cool is that?

Internet Justice League [thanks, johnny]

Dali Lama
Worth a thousand words:
Wish I had taken a picture of the Christmas Tree after it toppled all over the floor.
Lesson learned the past few days:
Breathe.
It will all come out in the wash.
Listening to a friend for five minutes can make the whole week feel connected.
On my mind:
Gifts, wrapping, paperwork, vacation
Thought of the week:
Even more important than the warmth and affection we receive, is the warmth and affection we give. It is by giving warmth and affection, by having a genuine sense of concern for others, in other words through compassion, that we gain the conditions for genuine happiness. More important than being loved, therefore, is to love. -- His Holiness the Dali Lama
