Yep, looks like I’m still a slacker with a stale blog. I will truly have to figure out some way to remedy that. Maybe I can mail into it or something.
Not like life hasn’t provided any material, though. We had some snow on Thursday that no one expected to accumulate, but it did (we received 2″ or 3″ at home), so the roads were terrible and people were driving strangely, as usual. It’s funny how people don’t seem to remember from year to year how this whole driving in snow thing works.
This weekend, a nor’easter came through. We received 8″ to 10″ during the bulk of the snowfall yesterday, but by the time we went to bed, it was starting to snow again, so we had another inch or two overnight. That much snow is not too fun to shovel, even for someone only pushing 30. Good thing we have that giant snowblower on the front of the tractor; that thing is a real life saver (probably literally, too). We were out there for well over an hour cleaning our driveway and then going over to help a neighbor who had nothing but a shovel. Terry has a big heart.
Today is incredibly windy, so the yard looks like a white desertscape. It’s beautiful, but I’m afraid I’m not going out in that when it’s so frigid. The wind chills have the air temperature near zero. Unfortunately, unless they rescheduled it, that means we won’t be attending the memorial service for the cofounder of the company that we work for. She passed away suddenly on Thursday morning.
So, there you are, this week’s excitement. I finished stitching this month’s JCS SAL ornament on Wednesday night. I have one side hemstitched now, too, with the other to go before I can sew up the seam and stuff it for true completion. I think I’d like to do that before the end of the month. I’ve been stitching on another ornament which is the second one of my personal little mission to stitch all of the ornaments in this year’s JCS ornament issue that I like. Oh yeah, and I made lemon poppy muffins in the morning and 3 dozen chocolate chip cookies, fudge and a cake last night after shoveling.
So after all of that procrastination yesterday (quite effective, I might add), today has to be devoted to graphics design. I’m hoping that by starting first thing out of bed this morning, with dance music coming through the headphones, I’ll be able to get into a rhythm.
