I am dreading today at work... it is not supposed to get above freezing and the wind chill will make that worse. I wonder if I can manage to wear three pairs of socks? What I should do is find some in cashmere... not for the luxury but because I have discovered that there is nothing warmer than cashmere!
The next quilt I start after this one is going to be Coffee in Bed. I was considering Storm at Sea because it has been on my mental drawing board the longest but I simply cannot face another monochromatic quilt without a break. I keep plugging away at Foggy Interweave and reminding myself just how pretty it will be when I get it all together but I am not certain I should have started an all grey quilt in the middle of winter! I keep humming Simon and Garfunkle's "Cloudy" while I'm sewing and that helps.
Thank you to both Beth and Neal for the mistake in my age!
You guys are too kind!
I have discovered an new flavored coffee and fallen in love! I was going to try and wait until there was a single pot sample available but I just couldn't resist that long. It's a Millstone coffee called Caramel Truffle. I think that I'll begin making a pot (or half a pot) of flavored coffee in the evenings as a treat... much less fattening than either brandy coffee or some sort of dessert... and I'll sleep better too. With the two that James and Carol got for me, I'll have a choice between making Hazelnut, Kahlua or Caramel coffee and that's decadent enough even for this lioness.
The kids are not in school today. I am mostly grateful because it gives me a chance to catch up on my email and things. I will be ever so glad when Elizabeth is riding the bus again... I miss those two hours in the morning to catch up!
I'm also procrastinating applying for a job in Nashville. If I got it, it would be such a good thing that I wouldn't be able to turn it down... but then I would have to move up there and deal with finding all the things the kids need... a doctor, a dentist, schools, a house. It's such a herculean task that I'm avoiding it rather than facing it. (Not that I'd be certain to get the job, you understand...) I'd also have to move away from the friends I have here... and take the girls away from all their friends... although I would be moving away from my mother!
