it snowed a little bit earlier today. my father came over and we finally put the mirror up in the living room. my sister got me some precut mats - they work so well (and are cheap enough) that i'm just going to use these readymade variety, save myself the trouble of cutting my own (i'm not much good with an x-acto knife anyway). as it was my mother's birthday, my family went out for dinner at koreana and came back to my place for some ice cream cake for dessert.
