I have just two words for tonight…

More snow…

Yay, Terrier group!

     I may miss one or two of the groups but NEVER the terrier group.  Nice to see a couple of familiar faces in there too.

     Hats off to Mary Remer and Margery Goode.  Good to see you out there Ladies.

     Terriers, the clowns of the dog world.  Got to love them!

      Congrats to Sky the wire fox terrier on the win.

Me with Joey our second Bull Terrier.

Another Westminster…

     I watched the first four groups last night.  I don’t get fired up until the second night and the Terrier group though.

     You better believe I will be cheering the Bull Terriers on again this year.  I’d always wanted to be there if only to show in the breed.  Malcolm would’ve loved it, but Gavin, not so much.  He hates shows, crowds of people, and noise.

More snow…shoot me now.

     You notice I don’t complain about the weather when it is warm.  This is because I find winter miserable. and I actually enjoy warm weather.

     A tropical beach paradise would be ideal for me, but not for The Curmudgeon.  Damned shame that MS patients do not do well in the heat…and yet he keeps the furnace cranking all winter at melt down levels.

     I think this calls for another chocolate martini…

I need a computer geek

My browser is screwed up.  Therefore this is going to be short.

Between that nonsense and the damned ice and snow, I am not a happy camper.

Die winter

Day 38…

Day 38, I haven’t killed them yet.  The snow is not melting and it has a thick ice covering thus effectively trapping us all.  Clear daggers of frozen beauty hanging from the roofs could work as weapons.  The evidence would melt away once the deed is done.

Another few reasons why I need a keeper.

     I forgot my morning pills again.  Finally remembered them two hours later.  I’m doing this a lot lately.  If not a keeper, I need an alarm to remind me.

     I also completely forgot about the load of wash I had sitting in the kitchen at the top of the basement steps.  Midnight and that load of wash just went into the washer.

     I’d pulled some stuff from the freezer to thaw for dinner and then not once but twice went digging through the freezer for something for dinner.   Yeah, I need a keeper.

Is there no end to this winter?

     My goodness I really don’t know what we’d do without the woman who clears our walks and driveway.  Arlene was here yesterday in the ugliest of weather and cleared the nasty, icy snow away.  She’s a real gem.

     Two more storms are  heading our way. (Sob) I need a beach.

     Spring, can you hear us pleading for you to arrive?

     Speaking of Spring, I’ll be needing volunteers to help fill in the pond, level the yard, build raised beds, and transplant flowers… *Watching people scatter in the opposite direction.  Yeah, I thought not.

Hard to believe it, but even more snow is falling.

     NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

     Yes, cabin fever.  I want to go out, but there’s nowhere I really need to go and people drive like idiots in this weather.  I love my van too much to risk it for a get out of the house jaunt.

     Couldn’t believe the car I heard go down the street last night.  No one should drive that fast on ice and snow.

     Oh, now it is snow and sleet. I think it is time for a chocolate martini.  Anything to help deal with cabin fever, The Curmudgeon, and two whacked out dogs.
