Well Jeanie, the snow finally found it's way here. Yesterday we had a warm snap so all the snow we had, which wasn't a lot melted. Now we are busy snowing and blowing away. My son will be thrilled as he got a new Kia Sorento and this will be his first snow to drive in..
I just looked it up to get a photo and find they have been recalled for bad brakes. Hummmm. Had to text Dan and let him know before he gets out in it. Bummer. But they should fix it. I like the Kia Sportage in red. They have one where Dan got his and it is so pretty. Might have to see if they would give me a good deal on a trade in for my van.
I brought my popcorn cake to work and it was a great success. It vanished quickly and turned out pretty good if I must say so myself. I just had to have a piece, heck with the diet for a minute.
Last night we went to a Templeton Rye speakeasy party. Man oh man whiskey is not my drink of choice but it was fun and everyone was dressed up like gangsters from the 30's. so the mood was light and fun. It was a late night for us though. We are usually home and in our PJ's by 9. I don't know how you do those late nights Jimmy. In our defense we had been shopping all day. I bought a couple of books. One is called A big little life, a Memoir of a Joyful Dog by Dean Koontz. I have heard it was good. The other is called A Secret Gift by Ted Gup. It's about how one man's kindness-and a trove of letters- revealed the hidden history of the Great Depression. It was recommended by a friend who is a historian and knows I like books like this. So I am set for a couple of days.
Next week I have to had a class all day to get renewed for my ACLS, or Advanced Cardiac Life Support. Then the next day I have a skills lab class. So much for my days off of laziness and joy. But it has to be done. After 30 years though I think I have it figured out.
Zoey, who is laying next to me just sat up and gave me a hug, isn't that sweet. I promised her I would cut her nails today and I have to clean the other critters cage. My hands are weak enough that clipping Zoeys nail is difficult but she won't let Rick do it. I am blessed with the job. Last time I had it done at the vet they trimmed 2 too short and she remembers that also.
Oh man, I just heard some banging and looked outside, it is really snowing and blowing. Maybe I will skip the gym and work out at home today and have hot chicken chili for supper tonight. A good book, and hot meal and a cuppa tea. My idea of a nice night off work.

I'm still recovering in bed Julie but I am now looking out onto melting snow receding into the distance. Not for long though as we have a forecast of more Arctic weather returning either Sunday night or Monday. Whatever! It is obviously going to be an unusual winter. I can imagine you sipping on the old whisky and feeling the after results. I'm sure you had a great time! Those days are gone for me now that I have diabetes. In Scottish parlance 'I liked a wee swally'. ( I like to swallow the amber nectar. lol
I used to call to my old dog Guy...'A certain little boy could come and give his mum a cuddle' and he always woke up and came over to give me one. I miss that!
I saw some decorative Christmas wreaths in a magazine and they reminded of your festive popcorn cake. Wish I had had a nibble.
Glad you found out about the fault in the car. It is a smart one. I agree.
Hugsies to you and enjoy your weekend read.
