Snowy Saturday

Well, we have more snow today. The good news is the temp is supposed to be in the 30's both today and tomorrow, the bad news is the bottom drops out of the temp tomorrow night!!! We are going from a high tomorrow of close to 40 to a low of -10. . .Throw in 35 mph winds and it is going to be brutal again. I am simply amazed at how much stuff can actually freeze inside the garage inside the refrigerator when it gets cold. I store my meat for the short term in the fridge in the garage. When I checked on my stash last night, it had all frozen on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator!!! That's COLD!!!

I was supposed to go watch my granddaughter ice skate today - don't know if I'll get to do that with the fresh snow and the winds. We have to travel 40+ miles through the country to get there and I'm guessing the blowing and drifting will impact the roads. Will have to check on that before we make our final decision. Sure would like to see her skate though :-)

With the weather and my penchant for being a hermit on days like we have been having, I've been getting some scrapping done. First up how about some wedding things. . .

Polar Vortex - Part Two

While I don't think it is going to be as bad as last time, it is cold again. Now while I will admit that it is indeed cold, "back in the day" when my girls were in school, they would have been in school on a day like today. Granted, I may have driven then girls to the bus stop on a day like today, but the bus would have shown up and off they would have gone. Now, the bus actually stops at each child's house. . .no wonder our roads have crumbled and deteriorated so badly - the side streets in my neighborhood weren't built to handle such weight!!!

I knew it was going to be cold today, so I ran all of my errands yesterday. We are supposed to have weather through the weekend so my pantry is stocked. Supper is in the crock pot already for today and soon it will start smelling super yummy in my house. The first load of laundry is in the washer so my day is off to a good start.

My scrapping seems to have slowed down, but I hope I'll get my act together and get some more done today. This flu has really knocked my for a loop!!! Not that I feel bad, I just have next to no energy. By the time I got home yesterday from my errands my back was hurting so badly too that all I wanted to do last night was to lay on the couch and stretch out. But, I have managed a couple of pages so here goes. . . . First up is this page

Suddenly Saturday

I am not at all certain where this week went!!! It was Sunday and now it is Saturday. I know a good part of the week was spent on the couch with some sort of bug. Then I get up this morning and gosh do I have a sinus headache!!! When it feels like this it usually means weather is moving in. . .There is talk of another Polar Vortex in the next couple of weeks - say it ain't so!!! Today should be a fairly fun day. The local show choir competition is today, but I have to say in looking at the lineup it has certainly lost some of the luster from back in the day when our girls were involved in it. I haven't been to the local one in a couple of years. Usually there is some kind of conflict, but this year the flu is so rampant in this area I think I'll avoid the crowd.

Yesterday after I got my errands done I became a scrapping fool once again!!! I hadn't done much all week with the bug that I had and I think there was just pent up energy, so here goes. . .

Whats-Up Today

All I can say is thank goodness I got a flu shot this year. I have been so rundown for the last 3 days. Yesterday I slept until 10:30 am which is quite unusual for me since I wake up at 4 am and am up and going by 5. After I got up at 10:30, I did about an hours worth of work and sent back to bed until 2:30!!! I could still be asleep now but thought I should get up and be productive. My philosophy is to not give in to anything!!! And, since I have been so rundown, I didn't make my Monday trek to the grocery store. This means I am down to 2 pieces of bread and no spare milk. I do need to try to remedy that here in a bit, but at the moment there is a huge snowstorm outside. I figure this will be short since there was not a single flake of snow forecasted for today!!! I'll give it a bit before I try to venture out.

I have had several pages done for a while now but just no energy to even post them, so here goes. First up is a photo that I took one night when our girls were little. I had told them they could lay in my bed and I would be in to read them a story. I finished up my bedtime routine and a mere 5 minutes later I walked into my room and found them both fast asleep. This was in the days when I could dress them alike - I just love the sweet peaceful feeling I got when I saw them.

Today is one of those blah Mondays. Unlike last week when we were in the midst of the Polar Vortex, today we have temps hovering around 50-degrees!!! It is hard to sit at the computer, so I only have 1 page for you today.

Slow Sunday

Today is stacking up to be a slow, relaxing day!!! It isn't even 11 am and I have knocked out 5 of my 7 chores for the day. I think we may try to go to a movie later on today and supper is an easy, laid-back kind of meal so I can enjoy a college basketball game, US figure skating and the Golden Globe awards tonight!!! I did sleep rather well last night. . .unlike the night before when I woke up at 2 with horrible leg cramps - YUCK!!!

One of my big goals for today is to get all of my finished pages posted!!! So here goes!!!

Weekend Ready

I am so ready for a normal, quiet weekend!!! It seems like we have been on the go since before Thanksgiving!!! While I love seeing folks, all the work that falls to me is sometimes overwhelming. My body was physically tired after last weekend!!! We are also supposed to have a "normal" weekend on the weather front. No Polar Vortex and a foot of snow this weekend. . .instead we have rain!!! As long as that rain doesn't freeze I'm good!!!

I've been scrapping away this week. . .it is so therapeutic!!! So here goes
