Twin suns of different mothers
Listening to PHC just now and agree with Garrison that snowstorms do not “lash” or “hit” or [insert-word-of-violence-here]. Often when I wake up in the middle of a winter night, I can tell it has snowed significantly before I even look out the window because of the *silence*!
Fave facebook photo-share today? A beer / whine “refrigerator” dug into four feet of snow drifted against someone’s front door. Open the door and voila! Is it real? Is it someone *currently* snowed in? I dunno. But I like the concept. (I do like some of those shares and memes, just hate when I’m bombarded by 25 of them in a row from the same person.) Fave *real* fb post today? After I posted that it was mid-February and I neeeeeeded some chili pepper lights, a high school musician friend posted a photo of some chili peppers that he cut up (I think) on my wall. I was touched. I ordered a string of chili pepper lights anyway. Yes, I suppose I am squandering money (according to some people, anyway). At $17.00 including shipping, I don’t think this will break the bank. (I ordered ’em from Cost Plus. I s’pose I could’ve “droven” over there today and *maybe* they might’ve had them. Maybe it would’ve been cheaper to drive across town. It was so nice not to have to drive over there today…)
I didn’t clean Gertrude with a toothbrush today. A toothbrush would’ve worked well on my rickety old stove but Gertrude has hardly any dirt and grime on her. I did find some stuff that cleaned up the little bits of discoloration that I have ALREADY inflicted on Gertrude’s burners. In the end, I actually managed to clean up some damn office/financial stuff. Hello. I have been spacing that stuff out for a long time…
I don’t really have an office in The Landfill. Except for my MacBook Pro in the Landfill Chitchen… Other people in the family will declare that a chitchen is not an office. But it is. It is where I keep my MacBook and pay bills and administer various accounts and stuff. A decade or so ago, when I put myself back in college, one of the beach urchins was a junior in college and heading off to study abroad. Her opinion about me going back to school? Moom, you have no idea how to go to college and you cannot study in the chitchen! A few years of straight-As proved that I *could* do college [wink] but she ended up being right about the chitchen. I did quite a bit of school stuff in the Chitchen but Command Central for studying ended up being the Green Couch. Where you can watch all the dogz go by…
I have a few trees worth of shredding to do tomorrow or whenever. Even though I can look at my on-line accounts (and do!) for one entity and have checked the “I don’t want paper statements” box seemingly about a billion times, I still seem to be getting paper statements! Save a damn tree. If you do send statements to me, please please pretty please, do *not* put the account number on every page! If you do, I have to shred every page…
Yes, the sun is setting later these days. When does daylight savings start up? I think it’s not that far off. I could look it up…

The wind lashes though and isn’t it windy too in that East Coast snowmaggedon? 🙂 I do love the silence of snow and the muffled noise. Peaceful as long as you’re not trying to get anywhere! I’m just relieved to have our usual dull gray weather. Paperwork, ack. I’ve done lots of that in the past two months, as you would imagine. Today I cleaned house; I had a friend over for coffee and was embarrassed by the dust on the end table by where she was sitting. Hopefully she didn’t notice.
