You Go Girl!

Shoveling and Shoveling and Shoveling...

I would like to be 'making', but it seems all I have time for is shoveling, 

and shoveling,

and shoveling. It snowed without ceasing for TWO days.

By the morning after this picture, Hailey's car had snow up over the tires and the snow plow had created a hard crusty wall of snow on the other side of the car. LOTS of DIGGING OUT this morning.

 

A few people in my house were very happy about all this snow. School was canceled two days in a row. That is an unheard of event here in Montana. We are winter warriors! Some of us reluctantly. Shhhh.

I think I want to live here instead. I'm pretty sure paper snowflakes are the only ones that fall on this house. You know how I feel about paper snowflakes...

Still digging out~

PS~I may or may not have watched a little Downton Abbey yesterday. I'm not saying.

CSI: You Go Girl

There has been some mischief afoot in the land of You Go Girl. A full investigation was conducted.

Follow-up: Victim of aforementioned crime spree has mitigated the damages caused by the vandal(s). She is very thankful that she put a stitch marker in her project to keep her stitches from unraveling. If she had failed to take such a precaution, she fears she would be filing a Missing Hat report in addition to the other charges.

Suspect is still holding tight to the Miranda rule.

Snowflake War

Good golly. I finally did it. I cut some snowflakes that rock. Historically, my snowflakes looked like a monkey made them with one hand tied behind his back. I'm not kidding. When I was a teacher, I did not cut snowflakes with my students. Shame, shame, I know. But I avoided the art of making snowflakes because I could not do it. How can you teach someone to do something when you can't do it yourself? Well, guess what? The art isn't in the cutting. It's in the folding!! Who knew?

I have Kevin to thank for this whole revelation. He bought some bargain scissors at Staples and wondered if they were any good. I said I would I would take them for a test drive. I couldn't think of a better way to test a pair of scissors than on a paper snowflake. A visit to this website and a pile of snow flakes later, I gave the scissors a passing grade. My family was a wee bit taken aback by my enthusiasm for cutting snowflakes. I think I cut about twenty of them, but it was a euphoric moment for me. I was winning the snowflake war! Buddy the Elf would be very proud of me.

I'm thinkin' 2012 is shaping up to be a stellar year. It's only the third day and I've already conquered a personal nemesis of mine...the paper snowflake. Resolution is sweet. I think the snowflake and I are friends now.

Happy New Year to you.
