Well, you could try putting on the coffee pot - apparently muses like caffeine - but I'd advise waiting till morning. Big Grin

Ours is suppose to start soon. Our local weather geeks have narrowed it down to between 2 and 12 inches. Panic

We are having a weird winter.  December was temps in from the 30s to near 70.  There were a few days of rain.  (I don't have to shovel rain so I don't mind that so much.)

Now we are rolling along in January and we have rain and lightning and thunder this morning.  There's a chance of snow next week.  All that means is there's already no milk, eggs, or bread in the stores.

I don't mind if we get snow because it's nothing like what I grew up with in Iowa...but, January and February are notorious for throwing a couple ice storms at us that really gum up the works.

When traveling for work every year it sucked going to Dallas in the winter.

To prep for being in Dallas from December through February you need to pack everything from flip flops to a parka.

I do enjoy a gray day. Although the weather app on my phone seems to think it is ninety percent sunny.

Working on a quilt for The Bail's college roommate. Her taste is quite different than Bail's so it has taken me a while to find a fabric I thought she might like. Bail came over yesterday and knew immediately that I had chosen this for Pres. Also listening to an audiobook about the Tudor times in history.

Next project is going to be a St. Patrick's Day/Irish themed quilt for my oldest, dearest friend and one of my favorite people of Irish descent.

Still sick, but I’ve at least been well enough to attach the two patches to my new Travis jacket.

Then again, how much effort is necessary to apply E6000 glue to a patch and put in the right place?

One big Santa sack stuffed, two more to go. Then I've got a few gifts to wrap and some stocking stuffers to set up.
