Sicky-poo. . .

It has been cold and rainy here. I have to say I have been feeling sympathy for anyone who lives in the Pacific Northwest. A beautiful place, yes, but a very rainy one. Not sure I could do it. Anyone have any pointers on surviving with all that rain?

Today is pretty, but since I have been sick haven't felt much like a walk or anything. The dogs are feeling a little cooped up. The most exciting part of our day is the mailman (which I am generally excited about, I love mail!) but I don't like when it is the ONLY exciting part of my day. Bleck!

This is to remind me of the beautiful Spring days that are surely ahead! Funny thing is, these are rain lillys, which need rain to bloom. Oh well!
These are the last cards I worked on. This was before Christmas. Doh! Okay, butt in gear for real, once I feel better.
This is Finley's impression of me for the last 4 days. He is such a comedian!

P.S. Notice this post follows one from exactly a week ago. Go on with your bloggin self! haha!

Winter in Texas


The snow days were novel for the first 1 or 2, since we shut down everything in Texas when there is any sort of frozen precipitation. Now, however, I think we all have cabin fever and are ready to get back to life. I have been terribly lazy. I think this weather sort of lends itself to that. Watching movies, loafing around, and so on. I did get some new house magnets started, but that is about all I have done in the last 3 days. Tomorrow I am going to attempt to go to work. We'll see how that goes. I hope I don't run into something or someone. The city ran out of de-icing agent for the roads. That is funny and frightening at the same time. We aren't used to having more than a day of this icy weather. I took several pictures and videos. Included in this set are the flowers that were pretty just a few days ago, and a dog toy that is frozen to our deck. Finley was completely confused and entertained by this! Pretty cute watching him paw at it to no avail. And then there is Lola in her Pirate shirt. It says A PIRATE'S LIFE FOR ME. Pretty darn cute and so fitting!
