"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I am thrilled by Tim's scan, and saddened about msbelle's doggo.

I have a call with my finance guy at 10, and then Pilates at noon and then my weekend is officially on.

Tomorrow I'm going to the high tea at the Edwardian Ball. It's in the same venue where we held Jacqueline's memorial, so imagine me there, wearing her Fez, having tea sandwiches.

I'm going with my friend, Rachael, and she came over last weekend and helped me pull clothes together to assemble my Edward Gorey-worthy look. We'll be meeting up with Emmett's godmother, Karen, and her friend so should be fun.

Yesterday, I indulged three separate appointments for self care: started at a barber shop in the morning, then got a facial in the afternoon, and finished with eyelash extensions in the evening.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Aw, you at the Edwardian Ball is very nice to think about! And a full day of pampering prep, very nice

I have an appointment to give blood at lunch time today, and am discussing going to our more-or-less usual Saturday rally with my folks. I really need to spend some time beating back the weeds in my front yard this weekend, I guess that will be Sunday. And I just realized the deadline for my biannual Smog check is Monday, oops, guess I will be starting my work day late...

SoftFood~ma, Jess. Gelato, perhaps?

Thrive to spite them

I don't know why I haven't kept up with Natter while the weather was bad

Yay Tim!

I'm so sorry msbelle.

We didn't lose power. Mom briefly did. She stayed at her house and it was fine. Work was closed last Sunday and Monday. We got hazard pay if we were scheduled. I was for Sunday. People panic bought and our shelves are bare and we are trying to get stuff back on them.. But now we will get more snow and people who normally grocery shop Sat and Sunday are doing it now. Plus some people got their monthly pay/benefits whatever and are buying . A lot of people are using grocery pick up it's crazy.

How much snow will we get tomorrow? Weather Underground says 2 inches, The Weather Channel says 1-3". Local meteorologists are saying 3-6" maybe more. But the Chief Meteorologist who was forecasting the worst for last weekend is the one saying possibly more than 6". I don't believe him. I'm off tomorrow so we will see how it goes.
