The joys of Southern weather

Only a few short days ago, it was 70+ degrees and we were under tornado warnings. This morning, I woke up and, to my surprise, this is what my world looked like:

I hate winter. It's probably one of the few times ever we've just had snow (there is no ice), except on the roads...apparently melting snow, 17 degree temperatures, and a lazy county road crew means that the roads are veritable ice skating rinks. This would be perfect stay at home and stitch weather but I can't because some of our employees live out of town and can't get to work, so the rest of us have to pick up the slack. Yet another good reason to buy a house in my hometown...I wouldn't be able to make it work on days like this!

Surely even if you are local you can be snowed in? You are always picking up the slack in that place. Maybe it will be a quiet day?

I'm not real fond of winter either. If I could stay home it might not be too bad. Stay warm.

Yikes. Hope you made it there and back safely and the people who give you a hard time are the ones who can't make it in!

Too bad you had to go to work - wretched adulting! Looks like perfect stitch weather.

Your house looks gorgeous! I wouldn't mind being snowed in there.

Happy 13th Blogoversary to the worst blogger ever!

Yep, I'm still here. This is the first time I've touched any blog in months. My focus has been in the "me" world. I have a new therapist and it's still early days, but I'm doing much better both mentally and physically. Work always sucks, so that's already a dead horse. And both pups are still hangin in there. My last post was probably the last time I stitched or at least my last Instragram post was. Maleficent still isn't framed, she's still in her ziploc baggie on the kitchen table. Bad me all around. I'm getting worse at this whole social media thing, what little I do. My job is tech burnout, so by the time I get home, the only tech I touch is my TV. The thought of creating a blog post or human communication in any way is just too much. I do have two vacations coming up, so that's exciting, right? I haven't felt like sharing, so very few people around me know about these. The first is a birthday trip to Boulder, j...

A to Z Challenge - B

PART 1 - JANE AUSTEN ALPHABET-COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BRANDON A much better hero than Edward Ferrars in my opinion PART 2 - MY DISNEY COLLECTION-BOOKS Obviously the age limit on books means very little to me: Do magazines count as books? Well, they are on the book row and they are Disney related, so there you go! There are several more shelves of these and they get more movement than anything else because their weight tends to kill bookshelves rather quickly. It helps to shuffle them around upon occasion to give the poor shelves a breather.

A to Z Reflections Post

I'm going to try not to be as wordy as previous years (but no promises). I did two challenges this year, my Jane Austen Alphabet Cross Stitch project, which is now complete: I haven't gotten it framed yet...heck, I still haven't gotten last year's framed either, so there is no telling when it will get done. Thanks to my friend Tiff for her suggestion of the blue fabric over the brown...she made the right choice I think! There is really nothing more to add on my second challenge, My Disney Collection, other than I have realized that my OCD apparently isn't strong enough to focus me in one particular direction. I like to think I have a Duck Room and a Princess/Villains room, but it's more like a Duck/Stitch/Parks room, a Mickey Bathroom, a Disney-themed kitchen, a living room filled with various objects, and a Princess and Villains bedroom. I don't think as a whole, they look so bad, it just looked a bit hoarderish when I divided them up into categori...
