They say that scents trigger our memories. This is true for me. I started reading this book on Friday. It is a memoir of a man who grew up in my hometown during the same time I did. It was fun to see my town through his filter. It's not the same as mine but close enough that I can see myself. It got me thinking about what I remember of that time. I ( Read more... )

Been a busy week. Because of our early close on Tuesday I spent the next 3 days working 12 hours a day to make up the time I lost. It snowed every day and finally stopped on Saturday. Ended up with 14 inches. I am in the middle of a 3 day weekend so I finally got caught up on the snow removal. Looked like the abominal snowman yesterday. Had snow ( Read more... )

Last week's snowstorm turned out to be a bit of a dud. The weather turned warmer so it melted nicely then today's storm hit. They said it would start afternoon and I was stuck working the night shift. Another manager called in sick so I decided to go in a couple of hours early. Good thing cause it started to snow by 10 am and by noon we had a full ( Read more... )

It seems we are due for a bit of a snow storm tomorrow. I guess since we have had a mild winter mother nature decided we should get a bunch at once. They can't decide how much snow we will get but 7 inches seems to be the common answer. So since I finally got my much needed day off I went grocery shopping. Me and lots of my closes neighbors went ( Read more... )

Just got home from work a few minutes ago. Took forever to get the car cleaned so I could drive home. We had an rain/ice/snow mix this afternoon into evening so it was an ice skating rink driving home. The wind is howling and there are intermittent power outtages. We lost power for a few minutes at the store tonight. The door to my house was frozen ( Read more... )

Had the day off so I got up and made pancakes. Fat Tuesday tradition ya know. Who am I to spit in the face of tradition. Spent the rest of the day waiting. Seriously I spent the whole day waiting for Dad to get a haircut. Then I waited another hour to get my own haircut. Glad I had nothing major going on ( Read more... )

Cold rainy day here so I am wrapped in a fuzzy blanket watching the Grammys. Well actually I am waiting for Mumford and Sons to perform cause that's all I really want to see. I am over on Twitter making snarky comments. Ah the fun of awards shows. I enjoyed my 2 days off. Went shopping yesterday with the family. Dad ate his first chocolate shake in ( Read more... )

Whew, I was so scared to set up my new internet modem/wifi. I have had it sitting here mocking me for my fear for the last 4 days. So with my time running out on the old provider I finally bit the bullet and installed it. Luckily it is designed for the computer idiot and I was able to get it set up with no problem. So yeah me. Lol ( Read more... )
