In an attempt to find a quote to summarize this weekend I turned to Mario Puzo's The Godfather (because Ian has it sitting on the computer desk) for a little bibliomancy and this is the first sentence I read:
The five New York Dons were stout, corpulent men with massive leonine heads, features on a large scale, fleshy imperial noses, thick mouths, heavy folded cheeks. They were not well tailored or barbered; they had the look of no-nonsense busy men without vanity.
Sorry, Mario, but I did not hang with the Dons this weekend. Instead Ian and I hung with the musicians yesterday and listened to my co-worker play a gorgeous Brahms piece and some jazz musicians do their thing. It was the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Saturday I just worked and then came home. I thought it was going to ice over so we didn't do anything expect knit and play computer games.
My mom gave me permission to have fun today but I have things that need to be checked off the list. Groceries just won't buy themselves and Grendel refuses to drive to the store. Plus, I was a slug last week and didn't exercise so I need get back on that wagon again.

Here's a picture I took a couple years ago at the ocean. Some sea creature was hanging out while the ocean passed it by.
It's sort of reflects how I feel today.
Mellow and calm and ready to watch the rest of the world go by me.
I'll post some pictures of the SNOW a little later.

Has it snowed enough for you? Do you have chains in your trunk? A blanket? Food? A coloring book? You need them all to go to the store. (In fairness, I took the train in to work but that was because of the line of accidents between home and work, and I'm just not up for sitting in traffic on a Monday. And I got to re-watch the first episode of Torchwood on my little mp3 player. Where'd I get it? Wouldn't YOU like to know...) (Also to be fair, on the west side there was a substantial amount of ice on the roads. But was it enough to justify "special coverage" of the "winter storm"?)
I don't blame you for wanting to avoid the accidents. I would have taken the train, too.
yeah, I'm pathetic! ;)

Oh, I will totally take my kid down to the tide pools! I usually force my hubby to come play in them with me, though I don't get to the beach as much as before. :( And they don't have big ol' fat sea cucumbers in the tide pools up here (at least that I've seen). That was also a favorite of mine as a kid....living sea veggies! ;)
thanks for the links!
