Look at those branches. I think that’s the effect you’re supposed to get from using powder + mascara. Thickens the lashes.

I sure hope my internet doesn’t go out.

    Dang! Here in South Carolina all we are getting is rain, rain and more rain. For which I assume I am not getting any sympathy here!

    And in the NY Southern Adirondacks, nada. It’s a balmy 24 degrees with no snow falling. This global warming thing is working out pretty well for us.

    Here in east central New Jersey it looks just like Violet’s pictures up therre. Beautiful! But will have to get to shoveling tomorrow.

    My power was out from 3:30 AM until about 1:30 PM … My house holds the heat well so I was not getting chilly but I decided to build a fire in the fire place , anyway, about noon . The power was restored not long after that, but it gave me great comfort to know I have a huge pile of wood :)
    My back deck looks very similar to yours :) including the woods , and the snow :)

    There was a nasty-ass mudslide in La Canada-Flintridge and rain all over the rest of LA today.

    We have snow, but just about an inch, and it fell two days ago so we’ve already recovered.

    Hey, did you hear that Amanda Terkel was Palin-bashing again? About her writing notes on her hand, no less. Funny how she doesn’t mention that Obama is the TOTUS. When I compare six words on a hand to a fully delivered speech via a teleprompter (every single time), it’s easy to see who’s smarter.

    So that’s where my snow got to! I wondered where it went. We’ve had our driest winter in years, and I am already worried about forest fires (Rocky mountains).
    Enjoy the fluffy stuff!

    Bleah. Bah humbug. Snow, schmow. 4 hrs. of 3 people shoveling and clearing cars. No school tomorrow - AGAIN.

    (Not that I am a curmudgeon or anything!)

    If you notice any black helicopters, don’t worry. It’s just VANOC collecting snow for the 2010 Winterless Games in BC. 50f here, likely a bit cooler mountain side.
    I’d best go now before the 2010 Olympic Organizers shut off my internet access for this mild criticism. Send cash to pay for the overruns. Stay frosty.

    @6 Obama is the smartest man in the universe. Just ask him!

    Somewhat apropos to his NPD, did you see that the White House has claimed copyright on photos taken by government employees in contravention of copyright law? Seems someone’s skin is too thin to deal with Chia pet knock-offs.

  11. Patti says:

    Anna Belle, it looked to me like she was counting off her points on her fingers, not looking at notes on her hand, but even if she did have notes, whoop-ti-doo indeed.

    Oh, the weather where I’m located is anti-climatic. Pun intended.
