Happy Monday,
friends.
Some things and stuffs:
1. Snow Day
We had a lovely
snow day on Saturday.
The only thing
that kept my sanity from falling off of the thread upon which it hung was this:
(I don't do well
trapped indoors for long periods of time with nothing to do.)
But then Lil
Bro#1 got out of work early (and I got lots of exercise shoveling Dad's truck
out of the driveway so Dad could go get him), and Drummerboy came over for
dinner, as he was also going mental stuck indoors all day. (The roads were
pretty clean by then, because we don't mess around in Orange County when it
snows.) We watched a movie and worked on the puzzle until like midnight.*
Oddly enough, even though Drummerboy is closer to my parents' age than mine (He's only 5 years younger than Stepmom...) there was no awkwardness.
2. Sunday.
Drummerboy and I
had a nice lunch after church. Then we took a scenic drive up to New Paltz,
where I acquired my newest toy from a poor left-handed art student.
I'm hoping it
will be easier than the mandolin, which is my arch-nemesis and will soon be
handed over to someone else for it to torment (I sold it on craigslist).
3. I'm getting
nerdier by the minute.
I got another
new toy today.
I'm not really
sure exactly when or how this started, but since around Thanksgiving, we have
had a puzzle in progress at all times at both Mumsy's house and Dad's. At Mumsy's, the cats try to *help* by running off with puzzle pieces that are subsequently lost forever. I presume they do this to make the puzzle assembly more exciting.
4. Ludovico
Einaudi's music is really really good and y'all should go listen to it
immediately.
Hope the rest of you in the region survived the snow! I heard there were ice bergs floating down the flooded streets of some part of New Jersey....
* I know y'all
are so jealous of my exciting social life right
Not a lot of words today Mich
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to stop by and thank you for your continued support
You are kind
Caring
Funny
And endlessly quirky
In short
I love you to the moon and back.... X
Love your new toy. I am promising myself a Martin 00015sm for my birthday. Just got a banjo from my friend and that is a whole new animal, but I have patience. I love mandolin, what makes it so hard to play, the double string thing? I can't play with a pick, I think the double strings would mess me up.
ReplyDeleteLove the puzzles! Military Husband and I enjoy doing those as well. :)
ReplyDeleteThat snow was the best! I am glad things are going well with Drummer Boy. ^_^
ReplyDeleteI love puzzles. I can stay up all night doing them. Missed the snow (yay!)
ReplyDeleteIf you keep insisting that we don't want to read about your life I may have to smack you with a wet autumny leaf the next time we meet.
ReplyDeletePuzzles are of the devil. CAST IT INTO THE FIRE. I have pretty good spatial relations in general but apparently the part of my brain reserved for puzzles operates at about 5% capacity. Puzzles activate the rage, frustration, and ADD centers of my brain.
LOL I LOVE what you did with my Monday Mishmash button! That's just awesome!
ReplyDeleteVery cool guitar too!
Lady of Shalott is one of my favorite paintings. I love Pre-raphaelite paintings.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you and Drummerboy are becoming an item:) I'm glad you're enjoying yourself.
Hey Sweetness, as usual, can't reply unless I reply Love that you are having fun with Drummer Boy....maybe I should start a puzzle...Hah, my boring fam wouldn't help......Just begging them to keep me out of the "Home for the Bewildered"......wish me luck....love you lots...if I never see you again......you know where I am........
DeleteIt's more of a social life than mine!
ReplyDeleteI work from home, so the snow let me get ahead on my work (somewhat) so I can take a three-day weekend this week. If not for work, though, I could totally see myself getting bored off my butt by being snowed in for four days!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of that snow! I've not seen a single snowflake in my life. We had flash floods here yesterday, as deep as four meters - no icebergs, but cars were literally floating down the street!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear things are going well with Drummerboy :)
xxxx
For what it's worth I think you do have a more exciting social life than me. Not that means much. I'm glad things are still going good with Drummer Boy and you're acquiring all these cool new toys.
ReplyDeletenumber three is me. all the time.
ReplyDeleteyay for Drummerboy and social life. no cold. cold bad.
and i love you. just saying. that's what on my mind this Monday - er, Thursday.

Love that snow! But then, I've never seen "real" snow before. I'm from the South, we get tornados and hurricanes and the ocasional iced streets. Really like that your drummer boy story is progressing :)
ReplyDeletePuzzles are addicting I think. Love the guitar. It looks like mine, but I still can't play. Sigh.
