Snow is definitely not normal here. Since I moved here in May 2004, we had one day of sleet/snow and it virtually closed the City. It was a Saturday so that helped. The storm system is actually moving in from the South with the Sleet and Snow starting South of us. It is a big storm system and already they are posting about flight delays and cancellations at the airport, and school closings tomorrow. Part of the highway and parking lots are already like skating rinks from the sleet. Drats- my husband now has to drive home from Atlanta in this stuff as well. I will be relieved when he makes it - although it will be a while. He normally doesn't get home until 7 so it may be later tonight with the bad weather. There is a Winter Storm warning in effect for the top half of the State - including where he is supposed to drive to tomorrow. Maybe, if it is too bad, they will postpone his meeting. The snow and sleet is beginning to stick now.

Phew, Joe just called. He is leaving work early and is on his way home. Plus, his meeting in West Point tomorrow has been rescheduled so he doesn't have to drive in the bad weather. If it is really bad here tomorrow he can 'telecommute' and work from home.

Okay, now I can relax and enjoy the snow. It really is pretty. I just filled the bird feeders again as well - those little critters are going crazy for the seed. Everything is covered now and white.

Joel just text msgd me...it's snowing here, well at least where he's working (Unicoi State Park, Helen GA) and so far nothing here and we live abt 25 minutes from the park. LOL, my students were absolutely nuts today, constantly wanting me to look at the weather report, looking out the window every five minutes. It's a big deal here when we get predictions of snow and stuff.

IT'S SNOWING HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So things went okay today.. ended up at the temp agency for 2 1/2 hrs taking test.. Apparently i'm "above average" in all my skillz..

Anywhoo.. no work for me.. but they said they will call..

I also did a job fair at a bank as well.. they said they'd forward my resume on..
I'm exhausted!

EXCITING about the snow today in GA!! WAHOO!!! It's frrrreeeeezzzzing here in CT tonite!

Hope you find something soon Em...maybe try substitute teaching at the local schools? Not sure how that works in CT, but down here in GA you take a 4 hr training class. That certifies you to sub at abt $55 a day. Not much, but it does help some.

Really? You just need a BA and a 4 hr training class? hmmmm i should look into that.

Down here you don't need a BA...just the training. But with a BA down here the pay per day is a bit higher. Something to think about definately.

Thanks for that tip Karen!! I just looked up the nearest district, I'll give them a call tomorrow!

No school tomorrow...I know I have some very happy students! Our daughter can hardly sleep as it is, knowing there's 1 3/4" of snow on the back deck. I'm just glad for a day to sleep in a bit.

That's hilarious. Yay for snow days!!!

Good morning everyone. Coffee and toasted cinnamon raisin bagels this morning for breffrus.



Today is a big day for me. I am having my hair done. Think I need a new style. *living life on the edge*

hmmmmm cinnamon bagel thank you
how you goin to get your hair done ? ( hope not a mohawk ,lol or waite I saw a pink mohawk once that actualy kinda sorta looked yeah eh well not bad for living life on the edge , lol )

Mmmmmmmmm thanks for the bagels and coffee this morning Krikit! Off to the hairstylists eh? Get something really different...be bold! I do that every once and awhile. It feels awesome! Remember, hair grows back!

yay coffee!
i'm feeling canadian today, we had more snow last night.
*off to go find the snow shovel*

'Morning all!!

For the record - I beat my hubby in Backgammon last night tee hee...

Yaaay for beating hubbies at board games!

I'm thinking this for hair. But without the nightclub eyes and the "I am fabulous and amazing in bed but you are not worthy of me" look, of course.

I love it Krikit!! Looks easy to manage and a very flattering cut!! Oh.. enjoy the day at the salon.. us girls need to treat ourselves now and again!

I've decided to throw in a mani/pedi too. *wiggles toes*

do we get before and after pics?

You go girl!!! YOu are going to feel like a new woman when this is done!! Awe.. enjoy yourself today.. you should go buy a new outfit when you are all dolled up.. then get hubby to take you away to a fancy schmancy restaurant tonite

LOL. Unfortunately, no time for fancy schmancy dining tonight. I need to make preparations for my sister and her husband arriving tomorrow from England. They'll stay until Sunday and then I'll drop them off at the airport (Orlando) on Sunday to catch a flight to Ft Lauderdale for their cruise. We'll drive down to Ft Lauderdale to pick them up next weekend and then we're booked into the Delray Beach Marriott for a few days. Yippeeeeee!!

Awe.. have a GREAT time with your family girlie.. how wonderful!! I hope you just have a blast catching up on everything..

Are they bringing you Toffee Crisp bars of flake bars from the Homeland?.. mmmmmmmmm (my personal fav )

Those are actually some of the items on the list! That's hilarious.

OHHHHHHHHHHH I'm Sooooooo jealous!! Booooooo.. my friends from the UK always bring me a good supply when they come home!! Now i'm away from Canada.. I'm without " a source"!! And i REFUSE to pay $2-3 at the import section of Stop & Shop for them

Yay krikit, new hair and visitors from the motherland!! (and lol at your description of the woman in the picture)

I think you are brave getting a new style, my hair is parted in the middle, straight cut and will take years of pondering to change it!

I have a flake in the cupboard if anyone wants it

Guess what?!!! New hairstyle comes with the "I am fabulous and amazing in bed but you are not worthy" look! Whoooo hooooooo!!!

Come on, Trailmix. Get that Flake out of the cupboard and into a nice Dairy Scream. mmmmmm. Chocolate dipped Dairy Scream. Grrr. Now look what you've done.

so where's the pics?

Oops!

That's great about the look + glad you are happy with your new hair!

Well the last pics I have of me don't really show my hair pre haircut. They show my hair after my last haircuts. And I don't have any of the new cut yet. Actually, my new haircut kinda looks like one of my old haircuts. Hmmm. I'll go see if I can find one. *wanders off*

!!!!

I didn't know when she said *wanders off* that she was wandering back to Canada to get the old pics.

Or she is sitting there looking through boxes of photos going 'honey remember this'!

Either way we have yet to see the new haircut

PICS NOW PICS NOW!!!!

Maybe she got a beehive or a Flock of Seagulls cut.

it's friday
*off to look for carla and her coffee*

Morning all.... my tummy's off today.. time to call in sick to my non-job!

Hey charles....fresh brew here for you...

Emancipation...take care of yourself today! Coffee might bother that tummy...maybe you need some of this instead?

lol.. funny Carla!! I think I need to take some more gravol.. i seem to be living on that stuff lately..

OMG!!! Click to view attachment That is too funny!!! But where's the bustier?

LOL. Sorry. I couldn't find any very recent ones of me on my computer. And then I got tired and went to bed. I can post some oldish (few months) ones? But I won't be able to post the new hair ones until I come back from vacation with my sister. She arrives at 14:50 today!

Now.... usually odd things people say will trigger a memory and I'll have a little story to share. Thankfully, none come to mind when I think beehive or Flock of Seagulls.


Excellent! My tummy would be off every day if I worked there. Tell them that they're the cause and you would like worker's compensation. Or I guess that would be non-compensation for you. lol

Ooops. I forgot to add I hope you're feeling better. It sounds like I was happy you're sick. I'm not. I'm happy you're not going to work. Not that you're sick. Oh never mind. lol

Mmmph. Pepto Abysmal. My Dad gave me that once when I was really really really sick. I promptly Click to view attachment. Pink puke everywhere. I haven't had it since.


I Gravol. It has saved my cookies many a time.

I love gravol too! yay gravol! Yay that your sister will be there soon, how long since you have seen her?

I think you've been in my closet, Trailmix. Those are awesome. Thank you!

The last time I saw my sister was a year ago. I have no idea why I'm online because I still have LOTS to do before she gets here. Guess I needed the break.

Yeah, I don't know about you but when people are coming i'm running around the house for a week before, like they need everything to be perfect, but they don't really

Where are they going to be cruising to? I am looking forward to going on a cruise, have never been on one but they look fun to me!

I have always loved those l'il green onions.
And now with the new-and-improved look, they are even funnier.
Although, naked looks better.
Ha!

Their stops are Key West, Cozumel, Cancun, Belize. My BIL wanted to see the Mayan pyramids. Janet's already seen them.

They've gone to bed now.... about an hour ago. They're operating on five hours ahead of us so they should be waking up about the time I'm falling asleep.

That's me too. My husband said he didn't think anything needed doing but he said he realizes that I see things that he doesn't. And really... when it comes right down to it... the only person who knows that something didn't get done is yourself. Unless you're not a very clean person I guess. Then everybody notices. lol
