December 28th - Rima for Radio Host
This billboard has amused all of us in the office ever since it went up in late October (right in time for Election Day). I've been meaning to take a picture of it for a while, and today ended up being the day. (As you probably can tell, it was cold and drizzly today in Austin.)

December 26th - Winter Blooms
One of the perks of a Texas winter is that flowers still bloom. When I visit home, my mom usually picks a few narcissus from the backyard and puts them in a vase for my bedroom.

December 24th - Red Velvet Fudge
Today Mom and I tackled two big cooking projects: monkey bread and red velvet fudge. Monkey bread is a family tradition so we've made it together before. The red velvet fudge, however, was a new recipe so it took the two of us (well, mostly Mom) to figure it out. Our final verdict: it's very pretty but not quite as tasty as Mom's fudge.
P.S. The best part of the process was cleaning out the pan with milk and making red velvet hot chocolate. Yum!

December 19th - Christmas #1 Complete
Since Paul and Esther will be spending Christmas with her family in West Virginia, we celebrated our Christmas with them this weekend. Yesterday we went to see The Nutcracker and drove down to Galveston for dinner, and today we opened presents. The box above served as a basket for our used wrapping paper, but Mom was the only one who made her shot.

December 14th - A few of my favorite things
Sammy's favorite (or should I say, least favorite) ornaments. He has slowly but surely cleared off the bottom third of my tree.

December 8th - Morning Visitor
I was the first person in the office this morning and was greeted by one of the vultures that often perch outside our office windows. He kindly posed for this picture and then hoped over to another window.

December 4th - Museum Fix
As a former museum person, I have to get my museum fix every few months. Today I drove down to the UT campus to visit the Blanton Museum of Art and see the Turner to Monet exhibit. The paintings in the exhibit were beautiful, and as usual, I amused myself by creating stories about the people in the paintings. After I left the museum, I decided to walk around campus and take a few pictures. It was nice to be back on campus and have time to look around.

December 3rd - Rudolph?
I support a lot of craziness during the holidays, but I'm giving a big thumbs down to dressing your car as a reindeer (especially the red-nosed variety).

December 2nd - Too. Many. Birds.
All the birds in the state of Texas live at the Wal-Mart near me. Don't park your car there for too long, or you'll be dive-bombed!
