Oh, The Weather Outside Is Frightful

Huge amounts of snow, ice, and snow plow bills are making the last days of  Fall (?!) quite memorable and  to top off everything --an unexpected  dollop of Christmas  Spirit .

I am feeling exceptionally well right now  , and it's nothing I ever expected.
 
Both our jobs  are swimming along  and I have to rescind my prior statements on surprises being highly overrated .
 
There is no tree up in the house at this time , and yet I feel completely illuminated.
 
 
 Sweet.

Pieces of Me

   
 
 
My friend Eddie ( a former crush from my teen days      ) got me hooked on You Tube recently ( among other things like long phone conversations about nothing and everything ).
 
Here are  some of my  favorite sounds from the past three decades  for you to enjoy !

For My Dad

I sure hope he digs this !

I picked out an earring design from my favorite local dichroic glass artist , helped to design the specific color  layers  and voila the perfect christmas gift tie tack  is ready for  sending .

Un Homme Avec Moi

I especially need one of them menfolk  when I gotta assemble stuff.
She says from under a pile of metal poles with holes and  screws.
 
I'm so tired of paying for it.
Handymen, that is!
Really, getcher  mind outta the gutter !
 
I have *many talents* but things involving tools, drilling  and  measuring ,not so much...

CCCChanges

My darling daughter went out there after months of filling out job applications  and got herself
a pt job at the grocery store right next to my  department store.
 
It may be a bit tricky to juggle schedules, but we'll make it work.
 
She's getting more than I am  per hour ,and she has less experience .
 
Color me perplexed.
Each corporation  has a different set of rules though and so that 's how that works.
I'm enjoying my job so far , I am  getting more comfortable with the register  everyday .
The people I work with are very kind and giving, both managerial and other sales  folks.
The community is also excited to have us there and that  definitely adds  a lot to the experience.
 
My daughter's art and writing gigs are  still a part of her life, but they aren't regular enough and frankly don't pay enough of the bills .
She has an exhibit of her acrylics and  illustrations  in town next month .
I helped arrange that earlier this year .
 
I'm glad that we have winter tires on as we are now about to head out several days a week into this frozen tundra called Western Massachusetts .
 
I have a plowing service lined up ( same dude as last year)   , and so some of our paychecks  will be flagged for this incredibly long driveway we rent.... dusk nov 20 006
