Don't think you'll be going anywhere today...



and here's why your STAT XRAYS are going to be a little late today:>)

please note:photo by the Radiology department in the hospital courtyard where I believe they still stand, frozen stiff.

    Slackers as far as the eye can see. Now get back to work. Unfortunately, you're sure to see some heads that got cracked while slipping and sliding around town.

    Not me. Not today. I am off today, thank you very much, and am very grateful. I am beat. Now if HoneyHaired Grrrrl would just get a little bit more homework done the Barbie Dating Game is awaiting us. It is so absolutely politically incorrect it makes me laugh. For a penalty card you get something like--"You are at the malt shop and have no boyfriend. You must pay for yourself." And Poindexter is still the nerd, but I find him irresistible:>)

    A perfect snowy day activity. I have stay at home envy today. I'm hoping my pager doesn't go off for more than telephone advice. That's not been the case on other snowy days. Sniff.

    My son buried me in the snow just a bit ago. Despite this, I'm trying to not see the positive side of this snow too much.

    You are so funny! I'm assuming that, since you're home, this photo was emailed to you. Rudee's "slackers as far as the eyes can see" comment was the topping on this cupcake of a post!

    Snow up to my knees here! Then there was the wind. The roads were closed here but that didn't stop my lovely husband of many years from going to work. He said,"I have my truck.
    Now he's plowing the driveway.

    We don't have it up to our knees, but have enough of it and an inch or so of ice coating everything. College Grrrl is south of us and her city is completely out of power and of course has no heat or hot water or way to cook. But also no school. So I guess that evens out. The XRAY folks' photo was on one of the news channel's websites. They're having a photo contest. The HoneyHaired Grrrl and I may take pity on the city and stop wearing our pj's inside-out and backwards. Very powerful mojo there:>)

    we had ten inches or so of fresh snow...fortunately I didn't have to go anywhere, but it was nice to have a couple beings come to me...

    snow play, exercise, and the sun emerging around 4 made for a lovely snow day!!

    snow over ice any day - I feel bad for all the folks out of power, in this weather it is a serious problem!

10 Things I Love That Start With the Letter E

Game imported from Sweet Annie at Blissful Bohemian . Name ten things you love that begin with a specific letter. In my case, the letter E. So here goes: 1. Well, first of all there's elephants . Who doesn't love those cute little faces?? And what's not to love? Elephants are actually a lot like humans. They laugh and cry. They grieve over their dead. They play games with each other and have fantastic memories so they can even remember the rules and not go to bed mad. 2. Then there's Engelbert Humperdinck, who I don't actually love and his singing's just on this side of okay, but I do love his name. 3. I luuuuuuv eggs , deviled. Nothing fancy, just classic. Best Basic Deviled Eggs 6 eggs, hard cooked and peeled 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1 teaspoon yellow mustard 3/4 teaspoon white wine vinegar pinch of salt (optional) fresh ground black pepper (optional) smoked paprika (optional) Cut eggs in half. Arrange egg whites cut side up on a serving plate and put the yolks ...

The Poet Goes to Indiana by Mary Oliver

I'll tell you a half-dozen things that happened to me in Indiana when I went that far west to teach. You tell me if it was worth it. I lived in the country with my dog— part of the bargain of coming. And there was a pond with fish from, I think, China. I felt them sometimes against my feet. Also, they crept out of the pond, along its edges, to eat the grass. I'm not lying. And I saw coyotes, two of them, at dawn, running over the seemingly unenclosed fields. And once a deer, but a buck, thick-necked, leaped into the road just-oh, I mean just, in front of my car— and we both made it home safe. And once the blacksmith came to care for the four horses, or the three horses that belonged to the owner of the house, and I bargained with him, if I could catch the fourth, he, too, would have hooves trimmed for the Indiana winter, and apples did it, and a rope over the neck did it, so I won something wonderful; and there was, one morning, an owl flying, oh pale angel, into the hay loft o...

A Year with EB White

"You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that."----- from Charlotte's Web I am a soul always drawn and fascinated by the idea of " A Year of...". A Year of Rumi. A Year of Calvin and Hobbes. A year cooking with Julia Child. A project that provides guidance for the year and a ruler we can measure inward growth in the course of our circle around the sun. One year, after an early marriage and an unsurprising--except to me--early divorce, I came across a book by Sue Hubbell titled A Country Year. I didn't plan for it to take a year to read, but it did. I only read it at night before I went t...
