The Family

Chris’s Desk. I gave it away. Actually i gave it away twice. I did not want to give it away but i did not have room for it and Chris did not want it and it is just a desk, after all. It did work perfectly for my ebay stuff, and for that reason and simply because it had been Chris’s, i wanted to keep it, but i could not figure a way to make it fit.

I’m still working on getting the pictures loaded to the 4101 page so they can be viewed – having trouble accessing the ftp site (Chris ?)

The page (when you can view it) is at http://www.geocities.com/ramona_traynor/move-blizzard.html. Stlll very boring.

BUT …. it’s not over yet. NWS is forecasting another storm to come through Thursday and continue through the weekend, with 7-14 inches possible (90% chance of 2-4 inches tomorrow).

So here we go again … whee!!

I heard somewhere that the average person gains 6 pounds over the holidays. I assume that means from Thanksgiving to New Years. I joined LA the week before Thanksgiving and it is now the day before Christmas. I have lost 10 pounds as of Friday. I probably have gained a bit of that back today. Today has not been a good dieting day. But I think that by the end of “the holiday season” i will have lost a little over 10 pounds. It is not how much i wanted to lose by this time (not quite to where i was by this time last year) but it is good to have made it thru another holiday season losing instead of gaining, even though what i have lost was all gained this year after i went off last year’s diet.

OH! Look at the NWS for Colorado – we’re under a BLIZZARD warning!

Do any of you guys have camera phones? I wish there was some way to get pictures to you.

I just saw a little baby tumbleweed (yes, we have tumbleweeds) skittering down the snow covered street. Too funny.

Looking out the window, I have a visibility of 5-8 houses. The wind sounds just like blizzard winds sound, whistling through the trees and blowing this dry snow everywhere – it acts and sounds like sand.

On the back porch, there’s a clear, wind swept patch next to a foot+ drift. Open the front door, and the snow is stacked about 5″ deep. The steps leading up to my (and everyone elses’) house are covered, particularly the first step. I know where the road is, but can’t see the curbs to make sure. And between my house and my neighbor, the wind has swept the ground almost completely clear.

Oh, I WISH I could share pictures!!

It is just so wild to watch and hear all this. We’re under a blizzard warning through noon tomorrow – can you imagine?

I am a fan of Eggnog.  I’ve had bad eggnog, I’ve had good eggnog, but I never knew how to make the stuff myself.
Thank you Alton Brown!

Now I just need to convince Christina that we should try to make some.

I carry a purse like Christina’s these days (shaped like an off center teardrop) only mine is black. It is about the same size as Zoeie. This morning i was looking for my purse and out of the corner of my eye, saw Zoe sitting near the couch. For a moment i thought she was my purse. She is about the same size and color. This is not the first time this has happened.
