Sarv, we've got the snow here too now. The pics below were just taken out the window of my computer room. The snow is still coming down in great big clumps. Maybe I'll finally be able to get out on snowshoes Monday afternoon.

We had dinner at a Japanese restaurant downtown last evening (deferred from Friday the 13th as DH was in Europe). Afterwards, walked a couple of blocks to a shopping street and DH bought a shirt on sale. I had been planning to stop by the sports shoe store that sells New Balance and it was right across the street. Ended up with a pair of New Balance winter walkers - waterproof, no nonsense sole. With my narrow foot, they will fit better than most boots. But they are too short for the kind of snow we are getting today.

Woke up around 3 and spent the rest of the night kind of restless. I think I was thinking of all the remaining things that need to be done at FC before I retire. I think I'll go in now and finish off the tax receipts, press release about his appointment, change of contact info for a few places, etc. Trouble is my replacement said he'd be there learning the program for client data. It's on a different computer in a different room; so as long as he sticks to business it should work OK. If he interrupts me too much, I'm outta there. But I'll use the 2x 4 first. LOL

I think paying for things is a trait that is unique to those of us who grew up before there were VISA cards. We look on the VISA or MC as an interest-free loan which it is if you always pay it off in full. Unfortunately, the kids look at them as a quick way to get what they want and don't think of the consequences down the road. At least mine used to. Both have gotten into trouble with credit cards and I think both have smartened up, the daughter in Vancouver, especially. DD#1 here in Ottawa has a spend-thrift husband to contend with, but even they have cut up some of their cards.

Sarv, re your hair, put on a hat and then blame the hair on the hat. We all have to contend with hat hair at this time of year.

Hi to the rest of you. Have a good day.

Ann
