This morning I had a haircut appointment. The lady who cuts my hair moved her shop into a new building so I got to see that space. It looks really nice-she and her roomate did a fun job of putting it all together

As you already know, I had my own hair cut last Thursday afternoon, and I'm enjoying my new haircut. I hope you'll like yours as much as I am my own!
We've known since last Tuesday (I think?) that we have a snow storm on the way, so we've been rushing around to get all the bits and bobs done to prepare for it.
I did some more grocery shopping this evening (bought fruit for snacking) and just to get out of the house for a while. (Snow will leave me at home for days at a time.)
There's always so much little stuff to do after a holiday, isn't there, besides the usual laundry and regular house-cleaning.
You've inspired me to tackle my own "corner of dread" in our own bedroom. Thanks to having lost all my weight, I badly need to go through my summer/winter clothing bin and do a clean out too.

Has the snowstorm arrived for you as expected? I've been seeing news headlines about it.

The snowstorm arrived but it wasn't nearly as bad here as they expected it to be.
We got maybe 5 inches of SNOW--powdery snow which isn't a problem. The snow plow came through once early this morning and that was it. By this afternoon traffic was back to normal out front on the blacktop road.
Snow isn't a problem, so long as you have your supplies laid in and you're warm. ICE and SLEET are what you don't want, because they're what destroy power lines. Luckily the ice storm went completely SOUTH of us thanks to that pesky Canada chipper system that had come through earlier in the week--it delivered a lot of cold air that formed a sort of "fence" that prevented the winter storm system I've nicknamed the "Tijuana Express" from coming east and grabbing all the water it could carry north from the Gulf of Mexico straight to us here in the Midwest.
I felt very sorry for the people of Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina because that's where all that water was shunted off to last night.

I'm glad it wasn't too bad for you.

You are really making progress! I did nothing on the bedroom yesterday, unless you count working on a sewing project that is cluttering up the place. But I have donated a bunch of pairs of shoes and cleaned out the bottom of a closet.

Hello! I noticed we have some friends in common. Want to be friends?

I still need to take down our outdoor Christmas lights...

[carriea31]

Hi! Which friends do we have in common? I tried to check out your page but it is private so I can't see any posts :)

[cosmic_reverie]

I found you when you commended on Ken (caseyj)'s latest entry, and then noticed we're mutual friends with amaranthes and siglinde99 as well.

Oh, great! I'll add you now :)
