Quack that!

Snow day!

yep, it's a snow day here in Middle Georgia though I'm not sure that's snow out there. It's more like an accumulation of sleet and frozen rain. No one has driven down my street, but I live on a cul de sac so you don't really have alot of traffic. I hope that folks are home staying warm and safe and not out running the roads. By the way, a big negative goes out to Geico the gecco made their employees risk their lives by going into work today. Way to go Greedy Geico. Got the white beans in the pot with a ham bone and looking forward to a lazy day. They say the weather is gonna get worse before it gets better. Might there be another day off work tomorrow? Never can tell

Will it snow??

So the weathermen say it's gonna start to snow and sleet and turn to freezing rain tonight. Does that mean the BOE will go ahead tonight and tell us school's canceled tomorrow? Probably not. We'll get that system call in the early morning hours so that we all have to wake up early instead of getting another day of sleeping in. Oh well, maybe I'll just take the phone off the hook and sleep in anyway. I just hope it's snow and not ice. Being at home for snow is okay, hopefully the ice and power outages will stay away...far far away.

The Girl with the Dragon Tatto -- Book 1 of 2011

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I started this book last year at Christmas time and only made it about 30 or 40 pages. Then I gave it to my mom and she raved about it. So did others who read lots of the same types of books that I read and love. So......I started it again when I was home for New Years. My mom told me to give it about 100 pages and I'd be hooked. She was right. I'd give it a 5 if the first part hadn't been so cumbersome and uninteresting. I wasn't really off put by the violence toward women as some previous reviewers were. Am I sick somehow because I read really violent books with some disgusting characters? I don't read sick disgusting books exclusively. I've got The Girl Who Played with Fire on hold at the library and can't wait to get it read. Think I'll read something light now.

Cold and rainy

I hate days like today. It's cold and rainy and I couldn't stay in bed and read all day. That's what I like to do on cold rainy days. But I had to drag myself out of bed and go to work and smile and be nice to children. Some days I hate being nice to children. I did it though. I smiled and worked with the little darlings and hopefully made some progress with some of them today.

Day 2

Today was the first day back at work and it was a good day. Went to a basketball game and froze to death. The gym didn't have heat, or they forgot to pay the heating bill, cause by the time I left my toes were frozen. Left right after work and just got home so it was a long day. Watching Millionaire Matchmaker and getting ready for The Fashion Show. I love BravoTV!!

New year...new bloggin habits?

Okay, so I totally quit keeping up with this blog, but I'm hoping this year will find me writing here more. I'm going to try again to keep up with the books I read and maybe to keep up with what's happening in my life too.
2010 was a doozy. Lost my job in May and am only working part time. May be time for a change in career, but I just don't know what I might want to do.
I turned 50 in 2010 too. Some days I feel every one of those 50 years, but other days I still feel like I'm a teenager.
So...here's to 2011 and hoping it's a better year for me.
