Perks

Last night I came home after scraping 6 inches of snow off my car and driving for 20 minutes without a heater in 18 degree weather to the tree lights on, the real lights off, a fire blazing in our wood-burning stove, Christmas music playing, a blanket all ready for me, dinner simmering in the crockpot, bread baking, a steaming cup of hot chocolate ready for me, and.... warm socks fresh out of the dryer. I peeled off my wet boots and socks, planted myself on the couch with my warm toes, blanket, and hot chocolate, and proceeded to snuggle with my extremely wonderful and handsome butler. This is the life, I tell you.
