It sounds like I am popping popcorn in my dining room. I am not. It is the ice hitting the window. They are calling it ice pellets. How that differentiates from small hail, I do not know. They are about 1.5 mm in diameter.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I am cleaning and doing laundry and messing about. The DH is off at a free class for his digital SLR camera. Nice lazy day, and we're off to friends to watch the Oscars tonight. It is the typical Hollywood glamorous Oscar gathering. Heather and I critique the dresses and watch their two boys play with Star Wars Legos on the floor, as the mens pick up our fine dining at the caterers (Popeye's chicken). We eat, put the kiddoes to bed and then snark like snarkmonsters. Because it is Oscar night, I am planning my party wardrobe--I am torn between the black hoodie and the blue one.
Go blue, Robin. Everyone does black.
I should have added an egg as a binder. Oh well, they'll just be messy when piping hot.
So, before I start my strict financial diet the first of the month, I should definitely go and purchase a few new tops and perhaps a couple pairs of comfy shoes, if they are on sale and therfore a bargain, correct?
Wow. Last night was ice, this morning rain, and now the snow is coming down hard.
Allyson, that sounds fair.
I spent more money on a pair of boots the other day than I've ever spent on anything not involving electronics or internal combustion engines.
If you watch L&O reruns on TNT for any period of time...or really anything on TNT, you see the commercial for Law and Order with Waterston demanding, "Were you lying then, OR ARE YOU LYING NOW?!"
Ah. I have no cable, so no TNT for me!
Also, I think youi MUST make those purchases, Allyson.

Me too! I spent like $200 on boots. Never did that before. But they're nice boots...

Definitely!
Hmm... I've definitely spent more than $200 on non-electronic items such as major appliances and furniture -- part of the whole being a grownup thing, I guess. Oh, and yes: a house. Hell, I've spent more than that on a hot water heater. If you have a house, you'll never sit around wondering what to do with that lovely pile of money you've accumulated.
It's been a nice lazy day for me, which is good since it's my last day off for a month. I guess I should clean off the car at some point since I have to be way out in the suburbs way too early tomorrow.
