Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Hi everyone,

Just a short post today ad Michael and I have been busying ourselves doing some cleaning in the apartment... We're hosting a little Sunday-afternoon-football-get-together tomorrow and so I've decided it's high time we kicked it into high gear to get all the 'little things' done so our place is presentable.

This morning we woke up to a wonderfully familiar sight... well, familiar but a little strange given where we are living at the moment. :) Here's what the view was like from our bedroom at 9am:

So, clearly that put me in a good mood for the day. (Michael, not so much... haha)

We decided to take a walk up the street to the Coffee Roasters' where they apparently have a great waffle breakfast on weekends. The snow was perfect on the way there. Unfortunately for us though, when we got there, we found out that they only serve a hot breakfast on Sundays! *le sigh!* So we decided to turn around, picked up some eggs from the UDF on the way home and I took a couple pictures of the winter wonderland that was our neighbourhood (even if it did only last a couple of hours). We plan to try it tomorrow...

After breakfast, Michael went out to do (pretty much all of) his Christmas shopping. He reported that the mall was surprisingly quiet; which we attributed to the fact that everyone in this city seems to freak out at the first snow flake. Ah, oh well. All the better for those of us who do decide to 'brave' the weather!

That's about all for now... I'm heading to store soon to grab some groceries for tomorrow's shindig. After dinner we're probably heading to the Cincinnati Zoo as they apparently have a big light show and Christmas displays. Perhaps there will be a post about that tonight or tomorrow...

Ciao!
Mariah

PS: I've also discovered - to Michael's dismay - a radio station that has 24-hour Christmas music! (Hense the title to this post) It's not WKRP, but close. It's WKRQ! :)
