I always enjoyed this song, especially when it was sung by Dean Martin. It's a cute, playful song about two people in love. Isn't it true that the snow is more beautiful and appealing when you are with someone you love? I have found that to be the case! I am loving the snow and the Christmas music this year, even more than last year cuz TB is home with me.
We had our first snow of the season today. We didn't get a lot of snow. It was snowball snow, meaning it was wet and heavy, big fat flakes. This kind of snow is perfect for making snowballs and snowmen.
Apparently the weight of the snow was too heavy for the power lines ... or maybe a car hit a pole on the slippery streets. Whatever the case, the power went out in the kids' schools. We were blissfully clueless until Billy called and asked if we would come and pick him up. Just sitting around, he complained, was a waste of his time.
What a kid!
I had to smile at his audacity. I guess he is enough of an adult not to want to goof off during an unexpected break.
In any case, though, we told him to stick it out and if the power stayed off maybe the school would close and the bus would bring him home. He wasn't a happy camper.
Luckily, the power came back on and school continued. We picked Heidi up around lunch time to take her for her allergy shot. She was feeling pretty cheerful. We stopped and had McDonald's and after the shot, we did a little shopping.
When we got home, she went upstairs and that's when the changeling climbed in the window. I don't know where Heidi went to but when we called her to have her set the table, the growling, surly, angry creature that appeared did not resemble the kid who went upstairs.
"What's wrong?" I asked her.
She screamed: "Just leave me alone!"
Maybe it's that time of the month? I have no clue what happened. Anyway, she is upstairs now.
Billy brought all the Christmas boxes down and is putting the tree together.
Kristin was supposed to go to a dance at her school but it was called off because of the approaching storm.
Supposedly there is another snow storm headed our way, a nor'easter. I'm not sure how much snow we're supposed to get. I guess it depends on which way the storm blows.
The New Neighbors Part V
In the continuing saga of the family in the pink house, it seems that one of TB's "adopted" daughters recognized the family I've been writing about and it ain't good.
She and Mike have taken some classes -- well, at least one class anyway -- together and he sent her inappropriate emails. They are inappropriate because he says he loves this adopted daughter and has an idea about what he'd like to do to express that love.
Ugh.
It's inappropriate not only because it's disgusting to send email like that to someone you barely now but also because Mike is supposedly married to Terry.
Heidi says that when the kids got off the bus yesterday, Clarissa begged Kristin to walk home with her and that's when the craziness started. I told Kristin that I did not want her going home with Clarissa anymore. I gave her an out ... if Clarissa asks why not, she's to say Because my Mom told me so and then let Terry ask me what's going on ... if she hasn't figured it out.
Ick ick ick and more ick!
