This year I couldn't decide between a fake tree and a real tree. On one hand cutting down a tree every year is not very environmentally friendly, however the trees are renewable and definitely replanted at the tree farm they came from. And really, if we don't buy one of those trees that was cut what do they do with them? So, we decided to get a live tree for another year! Here it is in all its decorated glory! We settled on a Frasier fir and we carted it home on top of jason's bmw. That was awesome, but unfortunately we (I) forgot to take a picture, so you'll have to take our word for it.

I know everyone has their own story about the snow today, so here's mine. Jason and I left home at 7:30 to go to the office because I had a 10am meeting. We heard about the multiple accidents on the toll road and that it was a parking lot, so we jumped on the back roads. That was not a good decision. We drove for 1 hour and 15 minutes before turning around. We had only made it 5 miles from home. It was difficult to turn around, because as each minute passes, you sort of think that maybe that will be the minute that the traffic clears up, but it didn't... minute after minute. Anyway, we turned around and it took us about a half hour to get home, so that we could sit on the couch and work. Working at home sure beats sitting in a parking lot. Of course, we still had to go into the office around noon and work until the traffic piled back up after 5, but it was a million times better than the morning.

Here's a pic I took at 10:30 to send to my co-workers who didn't believe it was snowing since I work down in Pentagon City.

I got my cool technical, cotton-feeling t-shirt and keychain designed by tiffany's today. Very cool! Next year's half marathon is already scheduled for next October, so get ready and you can get cool stuff too!
