Writers block

It occurred to me that I haven't posted since my last rant and as I sit here deciding what to update on my mind has drawn a blank.

I will start slow with some random updates and even perhaps keep this short!
Snow: Yes, it is true, London got some good snow, most in like 20 years. We got snowed in for two full days with no food in the house. Good times. It was beautiful though- and kind of crazy to see so much of it in the city. I wish it had not shut down the city- it is kind of embarrassing but it was fun while it lasted. The rest of the country is experiencing more snow this weekend, and I secretly hope that we get just a little more. Here are some pictures of our street and back courtyard area:

Out and about: In an effort to search out all the greatest spots in London before we leave we have been making it out and about in full adventurous mode- trying new bars and restaurants, even renting out the golf simulator at our gym. It has been fun- and a good kick in the arse to not keep repeating the same places. Well, that is half true- we are still at Mr. India once a week.

More babies: It seems that if you are my friend, you are either having babies or getting pregnant. It is incredibly exciting. It is also overwhelming. In the first 5 weeks of 2009 I have had 7 friends announce pregnancies and 3 other friends have babies in the last few weeks. Congratulations to Michelle, Robyn and Priti for bringing 3 gorgeous girls into the world!

Tonight we are heading to our friends Kate & Stuart's house to welcome their pug Zeus to London. They have decided to extend their stay in London so they decided to move out their dog to join them. In proper expat style we are having a flat party to welcome him before heading out on the town.

I still got nothing witty or exciting so I'll end it here. That my friends, is all she wrote.

Be sure to stock your pantry with food before your wish for more snow comes true! I am not on the list of pregnant/new baby friends, thankfully (unless there is a surprise around the corner for us)! Not ready for #3 yet...or if I will ever be! We'll see! Is time just flying by as you count down the days til you leave?

Those pictures were beautiful! I heard about all the snow in London on the news and totally thought of you! Glad to hear you survived!
