Raindrops on my window
Dec. 14th, 2008 06:31 pmRaining again. It's warm outside, very warm for December. We've been wobbling back and forth over a range of 50 degrees for the past week or so. The snow is melted, the ground is actually thawing to mud though that won't last. This rain is going to turn to ice and then snow overnight. Bizarre. Today's high temperature was 50°F, tomorrow's will be 13.
I've got about two more hours to be 58 years old. At 10:54 pm Eastern Time the counter clicks over again. Still not one of those "milestones" with a zero on the end, but that's looming out there in the dark. ;p
Except for helping with barn chores, I goofed off all day. I did make a pot of chili, though. Gary embroidered me another sweatshirt, this time with 'Tivo the Clydesdale Librarian on it. He used the Jim Groat badge as artwork for it, and it looks great. In the washer right now to get the interfacing out of the stitches but I'll get a photo or scan soon I hope. Entirely his idea to do this, unlike the Argos shirt which I requested specifically. He borrowed my badge and scanned it when I wasn't looking and worked up the embroidery design without being caught. I think he's just about ready to actually come to MFF for a day next year, perhaps on Saturday so he can see the parade and all.
Kept busy much of the day thinking everyone for the best wishes. If I missed any of you, thank you very much. It's good to have friends. (And even strangers. Over on F4L, I was inundated with birthday wishes from folks I didn't know at all.)
*sets out a spread with cake, ice cream, cookies, and little sandwiches shaped like ponies and wuffies*
Dig in everyone. Beer, wine, soda, and all that are in the cooler over there. Oh, and I'm watching to make sure all you canine types stay out of the chocolate. There's three kinds of cake, only one with chocolate icing.
