When Life Gets Tough, Get Zen*


* This quote is from my Cat-Titude book referenced in yesterday's blog entry.
I was supposed to work today but they were unusually slow so they said I didn't need to come in. It seems like I am always much more productive when I have free time that I thought I would be working during. I went to The Growing Place in Montgomery to get some greens, etc. so my mother-in-law can make a swag for the headstone. You'd be surprised at how many beautiful things are available at a gardening place in December. There are Christmas trees, greens, yard ornaments, wreaths and other little things. Then, we went to TJ Maxx and I got some snow boots. I am really looking forward to getting out in the snow this year to make a snowman and maybe pull Gloria around on a little sleigh. It has been so beautiful out with all of the snow. Usually we don't get any snow until late December or early January.
I finally have my Christmas cards so I will begin personalizing them and sending them out shortly. I like to send Christmas cards, since it seems like a nice old-fashioned way of showing you care. There is nothing quite like getting mail that isn't a bill or an advertisement.

You know, I only come to your blog for the Martha Stewart link. I just can't be bothered to type it in every time, and LORD knows I cannot have it in my favorites....God forbid someone should see it.

Just kidding of course, I come for the cynical humor and stay for the occasional depressional rant caused by the death of a loved one. And of course "headstone talk." I still haven't seen it and I guess it's not funny but it's true...it's really not going anywhere.

I'm coming out Tues and Thurs. probably.

PS. Do you know where I could get some snowboots that don't look like something Bjork would wear?

Hang in there tomorrow, I wish I could come out.
