Boots Half Full

So the day was cold and rainy--who cares? It gave us an excuse to wear our galoshes. Mine are by far the cutest, dontcha think?

Listen

Knock it off. Yes, Mother Nature, I'm looking at you. I don't know if you have some kind of under the table deal with Old Man Winter or what, but this 40° rainy, windy day? I am not amused. Twas but a few days ago, Amaya and I were running around jacketless outside smelling the flowers

and now today here I am wearing my sweat pants, toes tucked under a blanket with hands wrapped tightly around my mug of coffee trying to siphon some of its warmth into the icicles I call fingers.  I mean it is Spring right?

And now I hear rumblings about possible snow over the weekend?  Really lady? Snow?! You go ahead and do what you want Ms. Nature, but just know that if I see even a single white flake you are hereby removed from my Christmas Card List. Permanently. Think about that for a bit why dontcha?

December Daily Day Six & I'm Running Low on Tricks

It's a pretty boring day here in Mellonland today. Mondays usually are as this is the day that I reserve for boring errands like grocery shopping and boring chores like restoring the house to some sort of order after a weekend of abuse by the children. Still, I'll trudge on through with a post--luckily rambling happens to be a skill at which I excel.


Explain yourself, Elf!

It seems Bernard has a bit of a sweet tooth. That's ok, Bernie--I can relate.

This morning my Facebook news feed was full of people chatting about the snowfall that visited the 'Wood and left the people of Preston County with a day home from school.  Some were complaining, some were rejoicing but most everyone was talking about it. For a brief moment, I thought that we might have been graced with a little of the white stuff too, but when I stepped outside bright and early this morning it was freezing for sure, but no snow.

 See, not a flake to be found.  Totally bummed me out man. So, I decided to spend a moment or two remembering what it was like to have snow in December:

Awww sweet snow! And would you look at that, I'm totally rocking that scarf with those boots and a Care Bear purse. See, even at a young age, I knew how to work an accessory. I see you trying to get a closer look at that purse--so Imma help ya out:

Proud as proud can be--belly bared and all. Style is in the eye of the beholder folks. And if you doubt that, then there's a Care Bear Stare headed your way.
