I found a book and signed up today. Yay me!
> Question for Santa, is $34.00 too much to spend
on body
lotion? I am fairly certain I would pay that much
for something with marshmallow infusion. Dee-lish.
And if you happened to bring me some for Christmas Santa,
I wouldn't say no.
My
pre-Christmas gifting to you all ... this lovely image
for your desktop. Taken this morning. I like to
call it: So
this is what happens when they melt.
Install
and enjoy. :)

The
great thing about working from home is that when you're
sick you can slather yourself with Vicks Vapo Rub
and not worry that you will offend someone's nostrils.
You can hack and sneeze and honk into a pile of Kleenex
and no one will cringe and think poorly of you.
Yes,
that's the best.
Remind
me to tell you about the craft fair.

Today
is is blustery outside, but the sun is shining and that
makes it a little more acceptable.
I
walked Emma to nursery school this morning. I experienced
a newly renewed sense of Winter Coat Hatred. I hate
my coat. I've had it for about 10 years. It's thick,
green, down-filled. It's great for Canadian winters
(in fact, it's so warm I can just wear a t-shirt underneath
and still feel snug), but it is worn and generally ugly
and horribly unstylish. And the thing that drives this
fact home to me is the fact that the zipper-pull is
broken.
Pathetic,
really.
I
need to find something that keeps me warm and is at
least a little bit fashionable.
Is
there such a thing?
At
the very least I am happy with my pink fleece hat (with
hangdowny tassel) and my two fashionista scarves...
one, a purple wool blend and the other, a hot red and
orange furry rock star scarf courtesy of Mary's knitting
needles.
But
the cold hard truth is that it's hard to accessorize
with a coat that's past it's proper lifespan.
Also:
boots. I hope I can be proved wrong, but I believe there
is no such thing as a pair of real winter books that
are funky. I won't sacrifice toe warmth for fashion.
I'm old enough to know better.
