It’s snowing…again! – We’ve been hit with two back-to-back snowstorms. The original predictions were for 1 to 3 inches for Saturday. We had an “overachiever” and had 5 inches. It’s snowing now. It was supposed to be flurries to an inch. It’s “very heavy” flurries for sure and (at 8 a.m.) there is already more than an inch on top of yesterday’s snow. The weathermen were hedging on these storms because if they moved a little in any direction, their prediction is off. Well, they moved! I’m so ready for spring!
Speaking of weather – We had some very cold weather this week. It was in the high teens (Fahrenheit, it would be -7 C) in the morning. I was in Starbucks for a morning coffee. A middle-aged man came in with shorts on and flip flops. Not the furry-lined flip flops but the ones you wear in the shower. Rubbery. Cold. That sparked the conversation. It made me laugh. People are weird!
Then there is winter hair – My hair is different in the winter. I have a wave but with the dryer weather, not as much. It’s much easier to style with the summer humidity. I had a haircut this week and my hair is punishing me by doing wonky things, winter style! Maybe I should wear a hat.
Seeking distractions! — One of my favorite distractions is to redecorate something. In 2024 I painted my bathroom a pink to bring out a color in the wallpaper that was on the vanity wall. Nope, nope, nope. I love pink. I tried two different shades, and it didn’t work for me. I repainted it back to a neutral shade this weekend. I may not be done yet, but Barbie pink is gone. (What was I thinking?) Note to self: Buying new pillows is a lot less work.
Birthday coupons! – January birthdays are not my favorite for a lot of reasons. The birthday coupons are one. I try to buy stuff I need with the black Friday sales which are good. By the time January comes around, the inventory is picked over; my size is gone; and I don’t need anything. Yet I have a couple (very good) coupons to use. A November birthday would be good to get the coupons on top of the sales, but I’ve always wanted a summertime birthday when people want to go out and celebrate.
So how was your week?

Ah, isn’t it just a big relief to have a color that works for you? It was a good distraction and I am glad to hear you are finished and done with ladders… or step stool for a bathroom? I am thinking you have some high ceilings. That’s a lot of snow, Kate. Hope you are enjoying tasty snacks. Snow was always an excuse to eat FOOD. It’s cloudy, blustery, rainy and cold—54° at one oh clock. Not normal and the temp is still dropping. Our week was an assortment of good, great, sorta bad and hopes this coming week will be better.

HAHA! That “weather report” sounds like the stuff we hear too. We had about 25 flakes of snow this morning and the weather people called that a “snow shower”. So far we’ve only had some fairly conversational snow – not that I want more but so far predictions have been WAY OFF. The guy in Starbucks with flipflops obviously is taking “hot flash” to a whole new level. Stay cozy…..we are………fires in the fireplace, hot soups, might as well enjoy WHATEVER comes our way.
Hugs, Pam

Been snowing here on and off. Now it’s raining with more snow in the wings. New York City of course treats every weather alert like the Cuban Missile Crisis store shelves stripped like we should be headed to our bunkers.
I love when you redecorate since we get to see those snapshots.
You sound much better. So glad. 🙂

That happens here too. There is a little drizzle now or maybe melted snow although it’s cold. Looking forward to spring.

I love that forecast of zero to 85 inches of snow. All I want is a blanket of snow that will last at least five hours.

If you want a November birthday, maybe you could change your birth date in on line accounts that give good coupons?

I tried that on one and it wouldn’t let me change it. I guess they are afraid you will go in and keep changing to get coupons.

This snow wreaks havoc with pet sitting. Roads cleared enough to get to places by yesterday afternoon but it doesn’t look good for today. Which is why I require people to have backup plans in winter. But it means I couldn’t get my new foster kitty either which is a bummer. And temp predictions for Tuesday – argh! How many days until spring?

My phone just told me it was going to stop 10 minutes ago. My phone and the weather are out of step. Still coming down! So glad I didn’t have this weather when Morgan was sick.

Oh my! I was trying away and somehow, it all went away! What I did was say that while I didn’t want to be ridiculously complimentary, I have to tell you I loved the blog. It matches my thought processes today, so of course, that got my typing fingers moving! The weather predictions were spot on!!! I’ll be send the blog to my family members. They will enjoy it as well. Thanks for the smiles. I’m a kitty, so don’t mind my zooming back and forth between topics.
