i shoveled this morning and didn't even complain....


this made me want to run out into the street and throw my hat in the air
~
after that feeling went away 
i decided i would love to be the shop owner who has this in her window
{oh and i found it here}
and 
this is just funny 
{i found it on pinterest. oops, didn't grab the link}





and 
if you're one of the names above
{or even if you don't see yourself}
my apologies for being a crappy email returner and/or blog comment responder
what. returner is a word?
anyhow
this time of year, my computer and i are busy, but just not doing the usual things.
instead we're making ourselves comfortable at places like amazon and gap.com
~
so when the new year falls into my lap in january
i promise to get my butt back in gear and stay on top of my inbox

thank you all for your comments regarding migraines, our beautiful daughter and reassuring me that i'm not crazy and that you'd really come to the bonfire on the beach for a cleansing. believe me, when i teach my first photography workshop, this will be part of it.

we got an inch of snow late last night and the hubby had an early meeting, so the shovel and i became reacquainted this morning and i actually had fun. it's not cold here. only 30 or so and the wind wasn't blowing. i love my snow pants and of course since it's wisconsin, the rest of my "gear" is perfect, too. no matter what though, my finger tips still get cold the quickest. the rest of the week, dry and in the 40's by monday. WHAT. this can't be wisconsin, can it ?

  10. Now who is this Kathleen Young? Her name is there 3 times.
    ps - it was 60 something degrees here today, which I think is ridiculous.

  12. I love that MTM line. The theme song is running through my head now.

    You can keep your snow. We've been having a few mild days but it's snowing a bit as I type.. sigh!

    Boy those Young women are email hogs! ;)

  14. Well, here in Mumbai, India, it's toasty warm and I plucked a coconut from the tree out front to make curry for last night's dinner. Of course, in Delhi and, in Nepal and the Himilayas, it snows. I'm having a wonderful time - though the mosquitoes are making mincemeat of me...why is it I see no Indians with whelps all over them - and I fear for my life in Mumbai traffic.

    Blessings to you, dear Beth...
