An epiphany

Shopgirlove got a visit from la Befana! She was a little late, and didn't bring the usual sweets...but I liked my gifts much better: flowers, dinner, and a cute boy. Grazie alla migliore strega in tutto il mondo!
So, the holidays are officially over. Shopgirlove's feet don't hurt anymore, she's catching up with friends and family, and the croci are coming up. Wait, that's not a good thing. Isn't it ironic that the MBTA decided to raise the fares a whopping 75 cents right after the warmest December on record?
