A Thermos at home (plus a pic for Jennifer)

Forget yer office lunch - Thermoses are so practical for home use! You can make your lunch in the morning while you're in the kitchen already compiling enough stray coffee granules to brew a cup*, and heat up soup or, in my dreams, hot chocolate, then pour it into your nicely warmed Thermos. When noon strikes, you'll barely get a chance to lose your train of thought before you're right back at work!

Oh, if only... though my non-writing guilt is minimal today, as I have other commitments I couldn't ignore even if the words were flowing like a river after a big thaw. Some of them: getting on sufficient hats and serious layers of mitts to peer outside. Yes, we have cold snap. I tried out the Crusader Cap last night and can say with confidence that it is highly functional, huzzah. Still, I can't help longing for happier days, like Monday or even yesterday, when I snapped this in non-skin-damaging temperatures. Happy Wednesday, Jennifer! Hope my tree brings a little New England into your week.
