Grannie...
{{HUG}}

Tabby, I just finished AIM ing with my ds, weird, uh, oh, anyway, he is finished with one final, and has the rest on THURSDAY!! IJ am continued to be amazed at his growth leaps. He was telling me he is now very concerned about a girl with eating issues. See, that is my son, he has so been tormented by others, he empathizes so well, and he has natural counseling techniques. He doesnt understand anything, but he has a HUGE heart, and it warms mine to see that others are now starting to appreciate his finer points! I do hope he remembers he is at school and he MUST KEEP HIS GRADES UP... *step down now mom!!

SNOW!! SNOW??? Who has snow?? Honestly I was driving around in the cold thinking, it should be snowing, didnt the weather get the memo it is December, in December, there should be snow!!

Did I mention I LOVE SNOW?! Bring it over here!!

(did anybody else notice GLENN posted?!! RIght now I'm wondering if Glen is still "smitten"?!)

Right now I finished looking at the gangs gatherings, and I can only say 5 MORE MONTHS till May!! *tap *tap.. not that I'm impatient, after all May is much closer than the Vegas gathering. I have to go there too!! (esp since I'm not in charge of Vegas!!)

Right now I am SNOW BOUND! Seriously. Nobody's moving at all here in Danbury, CT, where Weatherbug tells me it is 23 degrees with 35 mph winds. Not sure what the snow accumulation is yet, but it's still coming down. (Herc doesn't even want to step outside!) But power is fine and my fridge is full. So I have every excuse for being a couch potato, right?!

Reader, yes. Don't know Glenn, don't know who he may be smitten with, but I'm still gonna get him!!!

Right now, I'm surprised our storm of the century hasn't begun yet. A town 1 hour south of us had snow early this afternoon. I'm not complaining, just curious. They're predicting 1 - 2 FEET of snow by tomorrow afternoon. I think I'll mail some to Reader....and throw it in Glenn's direction too.

Right now I'm trying hard to love my bf after he decided to paint the basement floor with flooring paint that is ALKALINE and is completely stinking up the whole house. My throat is sore and I'm starting to feel lightheaded from the fumes, and since it's 10F outside it's too cold to have the windows open! To top it off, we have company coming tomorrow (my dad & his wife, but still!) and he's finishing the floor tomorrow morning. Our house may be an igloo by the time they arrive since I'm definitely opening the windows!!!!

Right now it's raining in Southern California. Sorry for those of you dealing with the snow....I truly have never experienced what you are going through but it sounds yukie!

Hey Mocha!

Right now there is so much snow....waist to chest-deep in some of the drifts. It sticks to my shovel. I'm SNOWBOUND, except for a path to the street that an exhausted (when he was done) little boy shoveled for me. I tipped him well. It's very windy and very cold! It will be blowing and drifting all night. This too shall pass, just not fast enough.

Right now, I am feeling better. The snow and wind stopped late last night, and we are no longer trapped inside. The local paper says Danbury, CT got 11+ inches, but it looks like more to me--guess the drifts are fooling me. For the next two days temperatures are supposed to be in the 30's. Weatherbug says 26, however.

Stupidly, we left our trusty old snowshovel with the house in DE when we sold it. So my hubby borrowed one this AM and dug out his car--then ran out and purchased two--one for each of us to keep in our car trunks, along with containers of SALT. Guess we're gonna need both this winter, if this storm is any indicator!

I walked Herc (meaning I carried him over 4-foot drifts in too many places) this morning. Poor dog--hates to do his thing except in hidden spots. Snow's too deep to find them! Falls under too much information, but in case you're wondering, our mission ended successfully!

Ginger, I posted this just for you:

Right now, I want to tell Ginger that I understand her feelings well! That was always my sentiments when I lived in CT. That is why we left CT for NC. Although, it is cold here and I fear I haven't moved far south enough. lol

Wow Ginger, Thanks HP, DD thinks that picture is "so cute",

I wish I could take your snow Ginger, its warm here for Chicago, the sun is shining, I know this too will end, I hate snow in March, love it in December, it just feels right. Glad you got shovels and ice HP... there's something special about this time of year, and as long as you dont have to drive in the stuff...

Sorry so many of you are so cold. We are having drizzles (wouldn't even call it rain) in So Cal.

I am getting in the holiday spirit by putting out some decorations today.

Will put a fake tree with lights and ornaments on the enclosed patio for the kitty kat. She loves the holidays. Hopefully, that way she "might" leave the house decorations alone. (You are laughing at me right?)

Kitty kat loves socks and already has her Christmas stocking out. She wears socks across her neck. When she wants to play she pulls it off with her teeth and throws it to me. She also plays with pencils but that is another story.

That is my day. Take care.

Right now, I'm plowed, and shoveled, out enough get the vehicle out, so I feel better. We had 16" of the stuff. Now it's swirling all around, very windy, but I'm inside, warm again. My arms and back will probably be screaming at me in the morning. Too bad, because I still have more to shovel, just to get to the snowblower, lol.

LOL, good job, Herc! I don't blame the poor thing for wanting to be carried. The drifts today were horrible!

Well Sasman is a very happy man today.

We needed a new snow blower but I decided to hire my father's gardener who does his plowing.

I was a little apprehensive about whether they would show up but when I came back from the gym, all of the snow was gone.

So while I was enjoying a cup of hot chocolate I got to watch all of the neighbors doing their driveways and sidewalks.

Yeah Me!

Haaahaaahaaahaaa, Eggie and Mak1! Right now, I sent along your compliments to Herc and he promised to keep up the good work! (Shall I keep you posted?)



Reader, glad your dd liked the picture. National Geographic identified it as a lemming.

And Grannie, that doesn't sound weird to me at all. The things we do for our pets! (I serve Herc buttered wheat toast every morning, cut in 16 pieces because he prefers smaller bites of food.) When I repeated that to the staff at a kennel where we boarded Herc this summer, they didn't even blink. Guess they're used to nutty owners.

And right now, the TV weatherman said we got 12", so I guess that is the final, official measurement. And I'm the one who welcomes the cold weather and the snow, etc. . . guess this is my own reality show test. (Still love CT, though. Nothing will change that. It is too breathtakingly beautiful!)

Poor Mak! I feel for you. Done that too many times. Hope you catch a break this week. I hear we may get more snow Thursday or Friday.

Right now, especially after reading Ginger's post, I am very glad I caught the last plane to leave Newark airport Saturday morning.

Thanks Herc! They're watching that storm you mentioned and predict a Wednesday hit here. YIKES!! Surely it will be much smaller??? Your little Herc is so sweet! Uh, we don't really need daily reports on his business, lol.

Right now, I remembered this is the Right Now thread, and I'm watching the Patriots win their division, YIPPEE!!! And they're doing it in 28" of snow, with snowballs flying all through the stands. It looks pretty funny! Do you think the 15 degree temp. was hard for Miami to play in?

Right now...I'm wondering if the pic of the dog above is Herckleperckle's "mutt". If so, I have a Jack Russle that looks just like him/her!!
