V-Day; S-Day; FA-Day

Happy Valentine's Day. The Dread Reverend (the coolest boyfriend in the whole world) got me, not cut flowers that'll die, but a beautiful miniature rose plant. That I can kill. Just kidding ... at least I hope I am ... I'm not very good with plants, but I'm going to work on keeping this alive.


So how cool is my boyfriend?? Way cool. ILY, DR.





S-Day = Snow Day! Wow - we got weather. We didn't get as much as we might have, but way more than we're used to. And wonder of wonders, I got a call from a co-worker this morning who told me she'd talked to our boss, and we didn't have to go to work. Considering they never plowed my street, that was nice.

Unfortunately, I got a second call from said co-worker later with a message from my boss to make sure we all knew that we had to make this time up ... ergo, working extra weekday hours, or going in on the weekend. Whatta guy.


I beg the indulgence of those who often deal with this type of weather in the winter. We don't. We only have a snow like this maybe once every 10 years or so. But I've never yet had this problem ... snow actually drifted across the back door (which is under the covered porch). The snow in the yard was higher than Tyler's belly, but he was no fool ... after the first tumble off the porch, he refused to leave it. This could be a problem later in the day, when he really has to go.


FA-Day = Fiber Arts Day! Enjoying my unexpected break, I've been laying around all morning indulging myself wantonly in fiber. I knitted for awhile; I did some embroidery; I looked through the new Patternworks catalog; and re-browsed my tattered copy of the Keepsake Quilting catalog - really loverly, that, I just haven't decided what I want to order from it yet.

Pleasantly exhausted from all that, I may just have to rouse myself enough to straighten out the blankets on this nest of a bed I've been lounging on all morning, and take a nap. Ahhh ... winter snow storms. If you're going to do it, do it right, and get me a day off. (I just won't think yet about having to go in this weekend).
