Once people stop talking about a thing...
...it happens. We have actual snow in Middle Tennessee. It began early this morning and is still coming down as I type. Ironically, the weather people didn't go all crazy on the news last night. I've posted some pictures behind the cut.
Our cars are just covered. Now, I know it's nothing like what my extreme northern friends get, but you'll have to excuse the Florida girl's squeeing. It's more than I've seen all in one place since I was about seven years old.

You can see the flakes (well, their reflections, anyway) in this one.

And finally, winter wonderland in our back yard. Just a moment before I snapped this picture, there was a gorgeous cardinal sitting in that tree. Then a mean ol' bluejay chased him away. Well, the picture is pretty anyway, I think.

Okay, I told hubby that if it snowed enough, I was going to make a snowman. Well, it hasn't snowed quite that much...and the snow is kind of dry and didn't pack very easily...but let me introduce you to...
Snowballman! I used the pepper flavor Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans for his eyes.

And here's one to give you some perspective of his size. (But we all know that size isn't everything, right?)

Hubby had a fabulous birthday. His team at work sang "Happy Birthday" and gave him a small cheesecake before I arrived. However, he was so surprised by the cake and I had also left him a love note on his desk which he said brought tears to his eyes. Aww. Unfortunately, his gift has not yet arrived, which I am pretty aggravated about--but perhaps it will come today. I hope so.
On a work-related note, I got 100% on all of my assessments (tests) yesterday. Go me!
