Done!

I am done, done done!
I got my last paper in last night (a bit late, but had an extension) and am mightily relieved. So, what's been happening since my last post?
First, the birthdays: Happy Birthday to GH, Aunt J, TD, MCL, and NR.

We had the office party last Thursday.
We had the Star Christmas Fund. I don't know how much we made yet, but it was great. The Staff Band was particularly good this year. Their percussion made my day!

We also had the crazy snow storm....so pretty! I want to go tobogganing!



And PI and I made a turkey! The former room mates +SOs were supposed to come for a Christmas dinner, but, given the storm and the driving in from L....no go. In the process of rescheduling. Turned out to be a good thing. We needed a practise run w/ the turkey. It would have been a bit small for everyone too. So, getting another turkey and hopefully trying again next week!



And now...let the baking begin!!!

klugy?

My mom just used the word klugy. Apparently it's slang for awkward.
Anyone know how to spell it? I can't find it in the dictionary.

Words

For those of you who love words, as I do, here's a site to look at and Learn a New Word.

I have learned the word burmal:

(BROO-mull)
Pertaining to or occurring in winter.

It's from Latin bruma, meaning "winter." (Interestingly, the Latin word bruma itself is thought to be adapted from the Latin term for "winter solstice" -- brevima diesor "shortest day.")
"Once again, the inclement weather and resulting cabin fever was quickly adding up to another brumal bummer for Brunhilde."
