Always summer, never warm.
This is the mantra painted in the Coast Guard's
Polar Sea Icebreaker. While enjoying warm summers up north I've chosen a second chilly summer in McMurdo Station, Antarctica.

the holidays are coming and other things missed

Hint, hint, hint (a link to my address is above).

With Thanksgiving this week, and Christmas around the corner, I thought I'd list a few things I miss in addition to being "home" for the holidays:

. Chocolate covered espresso beans
. Dried mangoes (trader joe's)
. Fun jewelry
. Gel pens
. Good Earth Original caffeinated tea
. Kleenex (lots 'o lotion kind)
. Nuts (brazil nuts are my favorite)
. Red Vines licorice (brand sensitive)
. Trader Joe's sweet 'n savory trail mix
. Reese's Pieces
. French onion dip (little cans ship well)
. Salt & vinegar potato chips (love Archer Farms/Target Brand)
. Ghirardelli Peppermint Hot Cocoa or Mocha Mix
. Lubriderm: the one with the purple top
. Postcard from you!

Hi, Sweetie~ I had a dream about you last night. You were working in an art supply place in downtown Chicago which also sold sports stuff. Everyone loved you and was giving you a going away party.

Awwwww... I must miss you.
