Let it snow!

Oh, the weather outside is frightful.....my dear, it's so delightful! It's snowing! I LOVE snow! It actually started at 9:30 yesterday morning, and Olivia and I left at 10 for the flu shot clinic. We made it in no problem....there was, amazingly, almost no one there (last year, we waited almost 2 hours!). After the shot, we left and headed south to run by the bank. Wow. It was an ice rink on Meridian. I watched several cars slide right on by me...and into other cars! I even saw one woman spin like a top several times. Crazy! But, we made it through without incident and wandered home on Northwest. I-5 was a parking lot. Also - surprisingly, Bellingham had more snow than Ferndale!

I've started my Christmas shopping, my mom, Chris and Olivia are almost done. It's just Kevin left. I know what I'm getting him....just have to figure out how, since he freaked in a BIG way when he saw the credit card bill (which contained Chris and Olivia's presents). He'll get over it.

I plan to sew today after decorating the house. I went out and cleared a path (of Kevin's shoes and the furniture he put there) and pulled the HUGE tubs of christmas stuff off the top shelf while he sat in the nice warm house sipping coffee and chatting with his parents. Luckily I didn't kill myself on the step-stool ( I HATE heights) and now have all the boxes inside. Pulled out the snowman quilt and decided I needed to put eyes and noses on the snowmen. Found buttons and tried to put them on with my machine, but alas, broke two of them, so I gave up and am going to start hand sewing them on in a minute. Will post a pic when I'm done.

Well, the sooner I sign off, the more sewing I can do. Ta ta for now!
