Fun Facts and words:

Defamiliarization: Defamiliarization refers to a writer's taking an everyday object that we all recognize and, with a wave of his or her authorial magic wand, rendering that same object weirdly unfamiliar to us—strange even. Presto change-o, our perspective shifts and we see the object in a new way.  

Or simply put: to make something unfamiliar or strange

Snow!!!

Hello frozen world, I'm not sure if you knew this but there's a layer of snow all over you. It looks quite pretty, though I don't think these northerners would understand. You aren't really covered, just enough to look pretty in patches, make my dog slid on the deck and to keep my dad home from work. 

Oh, your here to, sorry. ;) Not much is going on, I'm just enjoying taking pictures of the snow and snuggling by our fire. 

I'm not enjoying editing. It is boring, extremely boring. I've just gotten stuck with Karen about to fall off her bike, do you know how annoying that is? =P

I'm going to go and pick out an outfit for this evening, the girls of the house are going to brave the cold and go to a game night at the house of some good friends of ours. :)
