Between storms

This has been a weird weather week, supposedly due to an enhanced El Nino effect. (local media loves El Nino...)

We're between storms right now, and it's downright balmy out. Balmy. With a bit of a breeze. There appears to be a nasty, threatening, dark cloud bank north of us, but it's just sitting there looking ominous.

Turns out we're due for a series of storms through the weekend, some rainier some snowier, but moisture, precip and general weather pandemonium are promised.

My friend JL went to the library today to stock up on her reading selection. She picked up some beach-y stuff as well as some cuisine-y stuff (ok oenophilic, actually). She's ready for a day 'in front of the fire, wrapped in a blanket, animals close by, and simply enjoying the weather madness and reading quietly...'

Can't beat that image. But I might add a beverage to the mix, just to round it out.

Wish for snow. Lots of it. We need it, we deserve it, and hey it is WAY too early for Spring flowers to pop out because of a few days of warm weather.

Maybe we should wear our pj's inside out. That's what Daughter's group does when they are really wishing for a snow day...it couldn't hurt.

Seriously.

Schnazzed up Desert Magnolia..again, thanks to LP the graphics guru!

Happy Thursday, everyone! Nope, it's not quite Spring yet, but sometimes a girl's gotta get a new 'do. Or in this case this girl's gotta get a new blog header. You know what I mean. Thank you LP! You rock. I love the artistic approach..it's soft but nice and still says, 'Enter here at your own risk, for opinions of a strong nature are sure to be expressed.' That's how I see it, anyway.

May I please be excused?

When G.G. was sorting through the mail the other night he stopped, then started to chuckle. And then he handed me an envelope in which a Jury Summons was contained. He chuckled because he has been called twice, and I have never been called. And for some reason he thought that wasn't right, or fair, or something. Well, I got mine. But it turns out I need to ask them a favor. To postpone my civic duty until after the holidays. Because before the holidays I am responsible for planning and overseeing and/or executing all year end marketing and PR for our little company, as well as publishing our final edition of an e-pub that now distributes to over 300K people each edition, so it needs to look good. And not have spelling errors and stuff. And then when that e-pub flies? I'll be flying, literally, to Providence, then to Europe and the Middle East. There's a lot to get done before I go, and I'm desperately hoping that our jury management system accepts my reque

Frigid

There's cold, and then there's the cold that takes your breath away when you breathe in too deeply. We've got that right now. Clear, blue skies, and frigid cold temps. There's just enough warmth in the sun to cause the enormous icicles that have formed along our roof to break off, sort of a mini calving like you'd see in the Antarctic when an iceberg cleaves. And loud, a big CRACK! happens, and then Whump! it hits the ground. The governor just issued a state of emergency for the entire state. And asked all of us to lower our thermostats ten degrees! Right. So, if we're having issues keeping pipes unfrozen with normal range furnace use, what's going to happen when/if we drop that range ten degrees? That's the difference between liquid and frozen water. Ten degrees doesn't sound like a lot, but it is. And I'm pretty sure she's not going to have her staff lower her thermostat by the ten degrees she's proposed, then put on her silk long
