Ice and Wind = Not a good driving combination

Here's my weekly installment of Garden Spot Sampler, the SAL I am doing on Tuesdays with Jo. I was able to stitch a couple of colorful motifs and get a start on the large flower that I have been dying to start since this SAL began :-)

As today's entry title says, ice and wind today - I think it will be icy tomorrow morning too. What a lousy combination - trying not to slide on ice while the wind is gusting at you. That summarizes my commutes today - both to and from work. With "W" having done his State of the Union address tonight, the news is delayed - I am anxious to see what kind of ice is forecasted for tomorrow's drive in to work... Come on Spring!! LOL

I am "and a half today" - my half birthday :-)

Of course, it is New DVD Release Tuesday yet again - a very fun one for us this week, Tim Burton's Corpse Bride

Got this from Amanda's blog:
my little pony
You're My Little Pony!! Sweet and innocent and

happy, you make people want to spew burrito

chunks. Even a Care Bear could kick your

ass.


What childhood toy from the 80s are you?

'A very happy half birthday to you, to you' (sung to the Disney version of Alice in Wonderland).
I wish you well in your travels too. Just when we had some nice weather, old man winter veers his ugly finger our way.
Take care and happy stitching.
