- Phoning friends and family members, to brag about our snow day;
- Wearing red sweatpants;
- Re-organising the entire household, including back closets;
- Eliminating dust mites (this job included a thorough washing of the air purifier and the bedroom fan);
- Wearing our alternate pairs of glasses (each of us got our glasses from a two-for-the-price-of-one shop, but only wear one of that pair);
- Listening to Christmas music;
- Digging out the decorations;
- Learning how to make crème brûlée;
- Trudging through the snow to Safeway, to buy cream to make crème brûlée (okay, Chris just did that one, but he volunteered to do so);
- Marinating ribs all day;
- Continually attempting to grade papers, getting frustrated, and giving up;
- Drinking tea;
- Making a production out of everything.
Still left on today's to do list:
- Watching Elf;
- Cooking the ribs;
- More marking;
- Hanging Christmas decorations.
Today has been a good day.

I love watching Elf with Chris! His laugh makes me laugh as hard as the movie does. Sigh. I miss you guys.
I love the crème brulée!!!!
Do you have a good recipe for it? :-))))
I woke up this morning waiting for the snow in this part of the country, I guess it stayed in Vancouver.....
Hey - just found your blog through phdladybug's blog. Good to see other Canadian graduate students. Good luck with the snow - I'm sure it'll melt by the weekend.
Welcome phdladybug and psychgrad! Blogging Canadian graduate students unite!
Phdladybug: I wouldn't necessarily say I have a good recipe. The one I tried tasted too much like egg custard. I think I'll have to try a few more recipes.
