Snow

[ateolf]

We got about as much snow as I've seen in Memphis. It had gotten a little warmer and was melting some by the end of the day yesterday (though it kept snowing much of the day), but there's still a lot of it over everything now. We got a real nice one. I only went out at one point and Mary Beth was in the front making a snow angel and Gabe and Lexi were also there making a snowman. I wasn't dressed to do anything like that myself, though. In the afternoon I finished reading The Edible Woman by Margaret Atwood. It was good. It was probably a little longer than it needed to be. There were bits with really great imagery, though at times it meandered a bit. It also felt like it wanted (the book itself wanted) to be more surreal than it was. It had a little bit of that feeling (and sometimes just a subtle bit of surrealism is good and what's needed), but the way it was written it felt like it was maybe wanting to go a little further and didn't. It's a really funny book too, especially towards the beginning. At night Mary Beth made some hot cocoa and we looked out the window at the snow. My neck seems to have regressed some again today. It's worse than it was yesterday (though not as bad as it'd been most other days). I don't know why my body wants to move into bad-for-it positions while I'm sleeping.
