Yay for winter wonderland! We got 4" of snow last night, and everything is soft and white. I decided to wait until the sun comes out before going to work so I am slleeping in til 9:30 instead of going in at 6 or 7. I just don't see any point when more than 1/2 the plant won't show at all.

i think i will be going to Texas soon and i don't think i will like it. i expect to be back rather quickly.

First week of 09 is over at work. I am getting used to longer hours, but looking forward to 4 day work week as I will be Mon-Thur now with Fridays off!

The nice man came and fixed our dryer, and says to me that he thinks the vent wasn't letting enough airflow, so I went under the house and got a gallon of lint out of the hose. Of course when I crawled out from under the house I had to run into a scorpion, or a red-winged wasp, or a fire ant or whatever and...
