I got up this morning, got a shower, got ready for the eye doctor appointment I had later today, so he could tell me just how blind I truly am…lol.

As I came down the hall toward the kitchen, I saw my daughter getting ready to take the dog outside. I helped her with the leash, then headed on to the kitchen.

As I poured my coffee, I heard my daughter open the front door and yell, “what?? Mom, look outside.”

I did and I was shocked at what I saw. Snow. 5 inches worth and still coming down.

I hadn’t watched the local weather in a couple of days. The last time I saw it, they were calling for rain.

Yep…looks like rain to me.

Needless to say, I was shocked. I’m still shocked…lol. But it’s certainly pretty to look at.

I’ve watched Lost since it’s first season. It’s one of my favorite shows, despite it’s weird track and episodes that leave me scratching my head. 

Or…maybe because of it…:)

It was something unusual and different and I haven’t gotten one prediction about the show right yet. I’ve gotten it wrong every single time. Which to me is great. I love a show that can keep my guessing and make me go…what the crap?? lol. There’s not many that do.

Most of the shows now are predictable and well…just plain boring.

This one is frustrating, confusing, jumbled, weird, strange, and absolutely fabulous…lol.

At the beginning of the last season, we now know why Locke had to die, but what’s with the dual lives and the underwater island? Did you guys catch that?? lol

Are they dead? Are their ghosts left behind to battle this new Locke and did Jacob take over Syeed’s body? And who are these people at the temple? And will we finally know who the hell Richard is? And what about Desmonde? So many questions…:) 

I’ve always had a theory that this story would end exactly as it started, with all these people back on a plane and crashing on the island.

But…like all the other times I’ve tried to figure out this enigma of a show, I could be wrong.

Until the next Lost episode…

Great review from Lila at Two Lips reviews for Deadly Crimson.

Trista Ann Michaels’ Deadly Crimson is a fast paced, thrilling paranormal ménage.  Jason and Vincent are both wizards, but there is so much more in the world that they live in.  The reader is introduced to vampires and warlocks too.  In fact Ms. Michaels does one of the best jobs I have ever read setting up for her next book in the series.  I had to email her and beg her for a release date.  Deadly Crimson has two of the most stunning men in it, and the two balance each other perfectly.  Where Vincent is the more stubborn one night stand kind of guy, Jason counterbalances this in his caring protective attitude about Stacy.    Stacy, the heroine is strong minded and won’t give up on finding the person or thing responsible for killing her best friend.  I have to respect that in a woman.  She is also adored by these two gorgeous men.  That can’t be bad in my book.  Trista Ann Michaels has hooked me for life with this story.  There are also other stories that come before Deadly Crimson, but in no way need to be read first to understand what’s going on.  They all can stand alone very, very well.

Thank you Lila…:)

Meet Nay-Nay…:)

The introduction of Nay-Nay to our cat, Nubbin went pretty good. Nubbin only hissed once and is now hiding, watching Na-Nay cautiously from under the coach…lol

Crazy cat…:)

She’s just adorable and so tiny. The kids love her already. She follows the kids around the house and her paws slide on the hardwood floors..lol.

Nubbin will come around eventually, I’m sure. Then we’ll never be able to separate them.

Just looking at these pictures make me cold. It’s not as bad as it could’ve been. At least the power didn’t go out.

Ice hanging from my patio table.

Even the grass is coated in ice. Kinda good looking…:)

I hope everyone is staying warm.

{{hugs}}

Well, I should probably knock on wood, the night isn’t over yet…lol.

We have about an inch or so of ice outside and so far, we still have power. I’ve been a little nervous for most of the day about that. At our old house, I had a fireplace and a gas stove, so if we lost power, I could still heat and still cook. Here at the rental, we have no fireplace and no gas stove. I’ve used gas for so long, it took me a while to learn to cook on electric again…lol.

Most of the day was spent working on my next romantic suspense and standing over my son with a stick, making sure he does the math homework he’s behind on.

What is it with kids and homework? I swear. I told him if he didn’t start doing his work, I was going to go to class with him wearing my leather mini skirt, my thigh high stilettos and bright red lipstick. Embarrass the hell out of him…that usually works…lol.

What kid wants their mother walking the halls with him dressed like a hooker. Poor child. It’s amazing he doesn’t have mental issues…:)

I think this one is just hilarious…lol

What Starts with F and ends with K??
??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ?
A first-grade teacher, Ms. Brooks, was having trouble with one of her students.
The teacher asked,?‘Harry, what’s your problem?’?

Harry answered, ‘I’m too smart for the 1st grade. My sister is in the 3rd grade and I’m?smarter?than she is! I think I should?be in the 3rd grade too!’?

Ms. Brooks had had enough. She took Harry to the principal’s office.?

While Harry waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the principal what the situation was. The principal told Ms. Brooks he would give the?boy a test. If he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the 1st grade and behave. She agreed.?

Harry was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and he?agreed to take the test.?

Principal:?‘What is 3 x 3?’

Harry:?‘9.’?

Principal:?‘What is?6 x 6?’?

Harry:?‘36.’

And so it went with every question the principal thought a 3rd grader should know.?

The principal looks at Ms. Brooks and tells her,?‘I think Harry can go to the 3rd?grade.’?

Ms. Brooks says to the principal,?‘Let me ask him some questions.’?

The principal and Harry both agreed.?

Ms. Brooks asks,?‘What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?’?

Harry, after a moment:?‘Legs.’?

Ms Brooks:?‘What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?’?

The principal wondered why would she ask such a?question!?

Harry replied:?‘Pockets.’?

Ms. Brooks:?‘What does a dog do that a man steps into?’?

Harry:?‘Pants.’?

Ms. Brooks:?What starts with a C, ends with a T, is hairy, oval, delicious and?contains thin, whitish liquid?’?

Harry:?‘Coconut.’?

The principal sat forward with his mouth hanging open.

Ms. Brooks:?‘What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?’?

The principal’s eyes opened really wide and before he could stop the answer, Harry replied,?‘Bubble?gum.’?

Ms. Brooks:?‘What does a man do standing up, a woman does sitting down and a?dog?does on three legs?’?

Harry:?‘Shake hands.’?

The principal was trembling.?

Ms. Brooks:?‘What word starts with an ‘F’ and ends in ‘K’ that means a lot of heat and excitement?’

Harry:?‘Firetruck.’?

The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the?teacher,?‘Put Harry in the fifth-grade, I got the last seven questions wrong…..’
