WOOHOO!!! Happy Dance!!
However, the
momentary break in the
"Attack of the White Fluffy Stuff" is
primarily due to the present
DROP in
Temperatures. I think My
WindCHILL was running around
-25C earlier...
But, the lovely
glaring SUNLIGHT does help in
diverting One's attentions
away from that whole
"freezing" Their
A$$ets OFF...!
Speaking of Diversions...
managed to escape
Shovel-Camp with a quick trip to
THE BIG MALL and
COSTCO.
I had
*hoped* that
COSTCO would be a little
less hectic - seeing as it
was in the
middle of the Week...
Yeah! DREAM ON! --
Hey, check it out... They've installed that
Seasonal "NO-One-Knows-HOW-To-PARK-When-The-Lines-Are-Snow-Covered" Amusement Attraction!
Then again, that whole
having to
shov--I
mean PUSH - My
Shopping Cart through 3 inches of sloppy snow that threatened to
fracture the -
although protected - violently vibrating
EGGS, was one
minor ordeal that I could have done
without! -- I'm just
not a
Fan of
EGGNOG...
Next stop --
YES! Thank You,
PARKING LOT FAIRY for the
Perfect Parking Spot! --
THE BIG MALL, there was
Banking to be done...
Where, I ran into an old [
She around 90 now!]
FORMER "BOSS"!
...Huh...
After
that encounter, had
Stuff to
Mail, and just did a speedy
non-purchase loop around the
Place.... The
"aisles" in
BOWRING appear to have
widened. I guess
"Sales" have been
good..? And,
MALL SANTA was actually
wandering around His huge
"Workshop",
waiting for
Wishful Waifs.
Then, it was
straight Home, so that the
ELDERLY PARENTAL UNITS could get
Their "Escape" done!
Meanwhile, I had My
Online Stuff to do and, My
long-OVERDUE
November Issue of COUNTRY LIVING to
check out! -- I've been
wondering WHEN
That was going to
show up! It had been
4 weeks since I had
called up about it being MIA.
In fact, I had
thought about giving
Them another call
Today, if it hadn't shown up.
Anyway, let's
see if it was WORTH the
Wait?!
COUNTRY LIVING - November 2010
- P. 30-31 - "FAIR-ISLE" Garments... I rather like that Dress. If only, it would look so *good* ON Me!
- P. 34 - COAT-TREES that actually look like Trees. Difficult to decide which One I like Best.
- P. 39-40 / 135 - I haven't seen These in Ages! PIE-BIRDS!
- P. 47 - BRANCH-SLICE COASTERS - Another one of those Great Ideas that I could probably do with some of that Backyard "Vegetation" that FATHER insists on disposing of as YARD WASTE! -- I'd really like to make WOODEN BUTTONS one of these days...
- P. 77 - I *WANT* THESE!! *MOST* of These! ...I could do without that Orange TEAPOT and a couple of those Bowls... But, **ALL** of the BLUE & WHITE DISHWARE **STAYS**!! And, the SET with the SHIPS...
- P. 78-85 - A very quaint and wonderfully eclectic Home.
- P. 92-97 - YARN! And, PRE-Yarn Creatures...
- P. 98-109 - Very "ECO" and all That, but I still hate the Wallpaper! Like those Triangle-Patterned RUGS though. And, the Reclaimed Wood Kitchen Island, the Ginger-Jar Lamp, the Blue Wall-Panels in the Bathroom...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
BTW,
**HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE NAKOA!!!**
THIS is What I made Him right after He was Born -- to match His Sister's One...
