Ah, snow

Birmingham has had two pretty good snows this year, and we were unfortunately out of town for both of them (although I'd pick Arizona for the National Championship over a couple of inches of snow any day!), so we were excited to be in town for last night's dusting. I was honestly expecting a little bit more of a winter wonderland when I woke up this morning, but I guess an inch is better than nothing? I do love me some winter weather - snow, jackets, scarves, sleeping under a fluffy down comforter - I could go on. Plus, a dusting of snow makes everything look so much prettier. Guess who else loves snow? We woke up early this morning so she could play in the snow for a bit before I left for the hospital.
Two random things:

1. I love to cook, and prepare home-cooked meals most nights of the week. However, sometimes I crave the taste of a home-cooked meal without having to put in the effort. Enter Bertolli Oven Baked Meals. I in no way support the nutritional content of these meals, but they are delicious, easy, and do not taste like a frozen dish. Everything in moderation folks.

2. I have a serious crush on my iPhone. This morning I received a Living Social e-mail for a deal in San Francisco (to further maximize our California vacation budget), looked up restaurant reviews on Google, e-mailed Walker to get his thoughts, bought the deal using the Living Social app, and put in our reservation using Open Table (apparently this place usually requires reservations made well in advance), all in about 3 minutes and all on my phone. Ah, technology.

I've loved all of the snow pictures that have popped up on my Google Reader today, Happy Snow Day everyone!
