I am in love with the snow. It's like floating on cotton candy. Like walking on love. Like drifting in kisses. The sound of snow under my feet is the sound of pain washing away. It makes me wish I had someone to playfully throw snowballs at.

Yes, the standard warning is in order. There will be pictures today. I will try to contain myself. But you know me.

It was a beautiful morning.

Obviously. The snow laying on the ground. A little still falling. Cold and clear. Lovely. I wore my scarf. The one Skye gave me. I haven't worn it before. In fact I don't think I have ever worn a scarf before in my life. But today seemed like the right time.

It felt like christmas morning. Walking down the street. In the snow. With a scarf around my neck. It felt good.

I wish I had a dog to walk.

Went to work. Saw the snow downtown.

Not as nice as I had hoped. What is this obsession with clearing our streets? Salt should be put on our food and that's it. One day I will start an underground association. The League Against Throwing Salt On The Ground. I will need to come up with a better acronym though.

The statue was wearing a white hat.

And Treeface was wearing white pants.

Work went by without a hitch. I was pretty tired though. I have given up on napping. Again. Like Skye said, when you're not depressed you might not need to sleep as much. So I'm trying to stop taking naps again. Hopefully I can stick to it this time. Just have to get used to it now. Sleepy.

Want to see what I'm working on? This thing. Nothing special. Maybe a bit amateurish. But it is my first completely free assignment. Where I was just told the info and provided the picture of the guy and then I had to come up with a little poster all by myself. "En rejse i farver, tid og rum". A journey in colours, time and space. See, that's why those colours are there! Clever, eh? Cyan, Magenta and Yellow. The basics of CMYK. It's still a work in progress of course. And bad quality picture. But Sanne seemed reasonable happy with how it was going. So at least I'm not messing it up completely. That's my first priority. I wasn't supposed to do these things you know. I was supposed to only do the routine jobs, the flyer and poster. Not stuff where I have to think for myself haha. So I was a little nervous about it. But it's coming along.

Speaking of work, I have to mention this website: maltese4me.com. It rocks. Specifically their videos. Like these. And many more around the site. They are awesome. So much fun. Puppies! I have a folder on my desktop called "happification". There I have saved several kitty and doggy videos found on yahoo's video search. And some of the best are from that site. Some of them are 60-70 megabytes just of dogs and puppies playing! Holy matrimony! I was watching one of the big vids and feeling good with the snow falling down outside. And Sanne walked by behind my computer, where she couldn't see the screen. But she looked at me and then wagged her finger at me and said "Hey, no smiling allowed here!". I guess I was one big smile. And a little later on she came walking behind me and saw what I was watching. And she went all "aww" and I went all "isn't it aww? Aww". And we watched it together for a couple of minutes. "Makes you want to get a dog. Or two" she said. No doubt. And then suddenly one of the lil puppies started spinning around itself, chasing its own tail. And we both burst out laughing. That was good. I'm normally too repressed. But I couldn't help laughing at the silly puppy.

So that was really nice.

After work I went down by the river. To see how the winter was treating the birds. The gulls and ducks. Guys and dolls.

There was a guy throwing bread.

Which was fortunate for me because it caused total rampage. Swarms of gulls all around.

Fun to watch. Feeding frenzy.

And that concludes today's winter faerytales. I plan to go to the playground tomorrow. If I do then you know what to expect. Another load of pictures probably. That's how it goes.

Happy valentine's day to you all. I hope you have a special someone. And if not, then why not hang out with the birds and the bees like I do.

Toodles.
