This morning dawned calm, sunny and cold.....like 4 degrees cold.....YIKES! 
The coldest temp we've seen so far this season.
Over the weekend, I bought an artificial Christmas tree, at the garden center that I used to work at a few years ago. I've always had live trees, but decided that I was tired of messing with the needles, the watering, etc. They've made some great...

Luckily, I avoided most of the mass of holiday shoppers, on my quest to get my Christmas shopping done over the weekend. I managed to find just the right time on Sunday, when everyone else was either still in bed, eating breakfast, at church or whatever. I was done in 2 hours, without seeing more than a handful of other people shopping.
On Saturday night,...

Hi there sweetie.
I love Hot August Night. It's a classic album for sure.
You got all of your shopping done. Good for you, you lucky thing. People around here are already all stressed out and strange (because of the holidays). I am trying to lay low and relax and pretend that it is just another month.
I really hope that you get that car. I can just feel how happy you would be.

Well, well, well.....
I'm off to Des Moines this weekend to Christmas shop and take a break from my normal routine. This is the second weekend in a row that I'm going to the city. Wow...look at me!
My brother is going with me, so I know some actual shopping will get done....he is very non procrastinatic.....kind of the opposite of me when it comes...

I had a meeting to go to last night. I was doing a couple of things, right up until time to go and just get there in time for the meeting. So, when I finally get home from the meeting at 9:30, my tummy is really rumbling, since my time management wasn't so great and I had missed supper. Ya know what? Cold fried chicken...

I was actually going over your resume, and it says here *flips through pages* You are "agaisnt being used as a sex object." In that case, you are not cut out for the job, my friends are all pervs with big boobs. If you change your mind, meet us at 8 sharp wearing a purple sequinned marble hammock and a smile.

The arrow is STILL stuck in the barn. I shall tell my hubby that you understand the drinking/crossbow connection. 
The outside world seems to be locked into perpetual gloom in my little part of the world. The sun was shining for about 10 minutes early this morning when it made it's initial appearance above the horizon.....then it moved higher in the sky and disappeared behind the ever present cloud cover that seems to hang above my house like an impenetrable blanket of doom and...

Yes, that pic of you in '76 in awesome.
That was one of the best years of my life. Best music, best smells, best styles. Your jeans there are great, and that car is gorgeous.
Glad you're liking the photos. I am not going to cut my hair afterall.
I need to run out and get dinner, but I am so lazy, and it's raining, and I don't want to leave the house. Oh well, I have Clementines, Coltrane, and chocolate, what else could anyone ask for?

Bah!! Of course we can be friends!
It's another day in paradise....
Well, it's a Wednesday in paradise at least.....
Nothing of great interest on the agenda for today...just the usual day to day stuff.....
Life is what happens.....while you're making other plans............
Take your vitamins, wear your hat and mittens, wear clean underwear and be nice to others around you.......someday one of these things might just save your life!

Man, your breakfast from the other day sounds delicious!
I am glad that you have been liking my pictures. I don't really mind too much that they were rejected as long as folks get to see them and like them. I would like to have another set up, though.
Tonight was our company Christmas party (well, actually it is going on right now), but I have a sore throat and it is pouring down rain, and the usual cocktail that is required just to get through those parties is not a good idea at the moment.
So I am hanging out with Schlorff (who keeps digging at the sofa, even though she knows that is bad). I can't get mad at her, and she knows this, so she is getting away with being a punk.
This Christmas season feels good, even though things are all frazzly.
Many kisses,
Rose

Geeeez.....updating almost slipped my mind this morning......I guess I'll blame it on the fact that it's a Monday and my focus is still a little fuzzy this morning.
I had fun in Omaha. Went down to the Old Market part of town, near the Missouri River. Lots of shops and resturants. Of course this time of year, everything is decorated for Christmas. Most of the...

thanks so much!

You made me laugh, when you said sometimes you "slay" yourself. That's my number 1 line. "I slay me" It's stopped snowing, has changed to freezing rain. That means I can't drive anywhere, and I must spend time with my SG pals tonight.
It's stopped snowing, has changed to freezing rain. That means I can't drive anywhere, and I must spend time with my SG pals tonight. Going to Omaha today to visit a friend. I'll probably try to do some Christmas shopping while I'm there. I might decide to stay overnight, depending on how late we stay out.
The weather is clear this morning....bright sunshine and a high of 50 today....great weather for Dec. 4th. It wouldn't bother me one bit if it stayed just like this all winter, where all...

Thank you Sabre.
That was really sweet.
Yes, this time of year is all about things (memories) coming to the surface and processing and really living.
I am not sad, just getting stonger, changing alot, and learning to let go.
How was your Christmas shopping trip?
I hope that this season is great to you.
I have to sign off now. I am going to watch a movie and my friends are waiting for me.

We got snow happening here, pretty badly, I'm afraid. 
I guess I better switch it into 4x4 before I leave today. Happy monday. 
I guess I better switch it into 4x4 before I leave today. Happy monday. Sun red at morning, saliors take warning....sun red at night, sailors delight. Or so the old saying goes. We had a beautifully red sunset last night, so I'm looking for a great day ahead. Right now, a brisk wind is blowing from the west and my trip to the mailbox was a fast one.....I didn't take time to put shoes on and my sockless feet...

the sun is red this morning at 7:30 ish am. good thing i'm not sailing...
Last night, I poured myself a small glass of Knob Creek bourbon and stretched out in my big old leather chair to watch Blazing Saddles on the VCR. For some reason, last night just seemed like the kind of night to watch something completely silly and campy.
I was glad to read an update from Rosemarie last night that her dog Schlorff was doing well...
