a flagstaff day

I forget sometimes how much I like it here. It snowed today, while it was raining in Chicago, which is kind of funny, and I loved it. I saw Erica, had tea at Macy's, wandered around downtown, bought moderately embarrassing cds, and ate more Christmas cookies than I should have. Nothing insanely exciting, but a nice sense of familiarity that I appreciated without finding it cloying. We'll see how I feel in a week, but for now I am happy.
