Some fires aren't very smoky, but the aroma would be detected it seems.
tiggy, your hair is so SHINY!!! I'm jealous.
It really is. Also, very pretty.
Back to work with me. Have a Good Monday all.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Somerville and Cambridge roads were about as messy as you'd expect, after the snowstorm yesterday turned into a 40 degree meltathon in the afternoon, and then the temp plunged into the teens overnight.
NE weather, how much don't I love you?
And then I found out that the teacher won't be in, so it's a "work on your projects" session. Which I could have totally done at home....

We had about 20 cms of snow, followed by a light showering of freezing rain, which turned into many hours of rain. It was slushapalooza this morning, but it's supposed to freeze during the day, so the evening promises to be slippery.
Also, my neighbors and I have adjacent driveways, and they pay a landscaper to come and plow the driveway and shovel the walk everytime it snows. The landscapers have been also ploughing my half of the driveway. Though It's awesome, because I probably wouldn't shovel it out otherwise, but it's nice to have it clear enough so that people coming to my house with cars have a place to pull in.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Steph! You're the neti person, right? I've been trying it this weekend. What with the dust mite allergies, sinus headaches and crying jags I should have a look see.
It does feel really weird, but totally not the weird I was expecting.
I really dig my neti pot, partly because I like the image I get of a tidal wave crashing through my sinuses. Plus I really like the weird feeling.
I need to *find* my neti pot, and I'll bet that will help with my sinuses' reactions to the furballs I'm cohabitating with.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Are we better now?

We seem to be!
Kat, how long are you away for? Sorry about the cold. Hope Noah cranks up the charm to warm the cockles of your heart, even if your extremeties are chilly.
We're here until 12/23 when we go to Vegas to pick up my mom and then home.
This morning it was 5 degrees. WTF?!

Brrr. Ear muffs are your friend.
Huh, I just thought things were mighty slow or people were busy with work stuff.

I somehow read this as raspberry goulash at least 3 times, and it just wouldn't compute.

My friend up in that neck of the woods was all "it's been a bit chilly" by which she means 20. That ain't chilly. It's godforsaken freezing.
I seem to have not worn a warm enough coat for the wind here. And my sinuses are killing me.
But I did ship the xmas presents, so that's all taken care of. Now if UPS would just acknowlege the tracking #s they gave me.
