Why did I ever open my mouth? 

Have you ever made a public proclamation that you regret?

Awhile back, I announced that I would quit smoking on March 18th.  The divine Small Hands steered me to QuitNet.  I signed up and have been receiving encouraging emails regarding my plan.

People!  March 18th is next *ucking Friday.  Sure I said I was going to do this.  But that was back in January and March seemed a long way away.  It was easy to be strong minded then.

I am cranky just thinking about it.

There is a tentative plan to get together with Joanne & Melissa and Kathleen for some needle felting next Friday.  These women are obviously nuts — on my first day of quitting, not only are they willing to be in the same room as me – they are willing to sit there while I hold tiny, sharp little needles in my hand. 

They think chocolate will help. 

I myself am a firm believer in the healing powers of chocolate…..I’m just not making any promises is what I’m sayin.

Oh no! 

First, it wasn’t going to snow.

Then, it wasn’t going to stick.

Now, we have had whiteout conditions and 4 inches.  I cannot tell if it is still snowing because the wind is blowing so fiercly!

I do love snow – except when I have spring fever.

The silver lining?   We’re having pancakes for dinner!  Nothing says ‘your Dad’s going to be late and I love breakfast for dinner’ more than pancakes after 6 pm. 

What’s your favorite non-dinner dinner?

The other great thing about a snow storm is guilt free sitting all day and knitting!  My original plan for the day was to paint two doors.  It was in the 60’s yesterday and this seemed like a reasonable idea.  With today’s freezing temperatures, the paint never would have dried properly so that plan went out the window.  There has been progress made on my Pumpkin Patch Clapotis and I’ve been working on him! 

ps.  is there snowblower etiquette?  how late is too late to fire up that beast?
