Also, excuse our momentary boasting, but we’re just excited: We are a bit slow in getting to this, but we just discovered that we were named on the School Library Journal<\/em> blog as a Blog to Bookmark in 2007. Here’s<\/a><\/strong> the link. (People will be watching in ’07? I better stop saying dude<\/em> so much). Wow. We’re honored. Even though I’m almost two weeks late in seeing this, I do visit their blog and am excited they’ve noticed us. Since I managed to fail even leaving a comment over there (dude, I blame low coffee consumption thus far today; it’s making me unable to work with any technology this afternoon), we’d like to thank SLJ<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Don’t forget the first installment in our interview series just below this post if you haven’t seen it already. Don’t you just wanna hang out with Liz<\/a><\/strong>? <\/p>\n![snowsnake.JPG](\"http:\/\/blaine.org\/sevenimpossiblethings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/01\/snowsnake.thumbnail.JPG\")
<\/a>Kelly has posted at the Carnival a lovely photo from bigfoto.com of a chilly, winter landscape. As I began typing this, I wondered if I had any interesting winter photos of my own to tack onto this post. And I remembered one, though whether or not it passes as interesting will depend on the reader . . . My husband makes it an annual tradition — when we actually get winter weather, that is — to trek through the snow (at least once around the house) without any shoes or socks. Freak. He enjoys cold weather, whereas I have no blood or something and get chilly in 80 degree temps (freak) and watch in horror through the window when he makes these frosty exploits. He snapped a photo one year of his tattooed foot in the snow. Click to see a larger version if you’re into shivering and all. Freak. <\/p>\n
