Hunkered down

-
It’s called a “bomb cyclone”, a winter storm with hurricane force winds.  And with it, lots of snow.

Yesterday my boss told us to take our laptops home, to plan to work from home today.

By late afternoon most of the schools made the decision to close today.

Last night Drew and Marc prepped the new snow blower for its inaugural run.

And so my laptop and I headed to Drew’s house.  I’ll be spending today warm and cozy in his den.

    I love Snow but being in Fort Worth, Texas we don't see much of it. Although my VA texted me to let me know she is expecting a Blizzard so I asked her to send me some snow. Just incase she doesn't would you?

    I'm near Boston, and we're having the same storm. A number of people in my area have said they're hearing thunder! And right now, I can't even see the houses on the next street through the blowing snow.

    The Mommies Reviews, I’d love to send some of this white stuff your way. And Kim, we are gearing the thunder here on Long Island, too

    Snow is one reason I live in Texas. Hate being cold. We have summers from hell but I can always take a cold shower, drink something cold and cool off. Sometimes it's hard to get or stay warm. Keep all your white stuff up there. Please!!! :-)

    Oh, is that what that means? I kept seeing the term all over the place, but I hadn't slowed down enough to look for a definition. Hope you're staying warm and safe.

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in
