School’s Cancelled

We just can’t get away from the bad weather.  Another storm has hit North Texas in the form of ice.  We get to stay home today and sip hot cocoa and sit by the fire.  Cities to our north have no power, so as the storm moves south, I hope we do not lose power.  I have become accustomed to heat!  I kinda like it!  It is 15 degrees outside and that translates to cold!

On the bright side we get to stay home and do all those things we have not had time to do lately.

Michala and I have been designing Valentine cards and will spend the afternoon finishing those.  Megan hates design and will spend her afternoon writing her novel. 

As for Tiger….

He will spend his afternoon camped out at the front window growling at the Bunny that has taken refuge in the bushes outside the window.  They have started a ‘stare’ showdown.  So far the Bunny is winning…

Queen for a Day

Yesterday I was queen for the day.   The staff treated me first class all the way. They were courteous, friendly, caring, gentle, and humorous.

You may wonder where I would get such royal treatment?  Well....

 I went to the dentist office.  I broke my tooth (no, it didn't hurt) and had to have it fixed.  The staff was fantastic.  They hooked me up with a new tooth (minus the nitrus oxide) because I am brave.  This fact was told to me by the six year old in the chair next to me who was begging for the nitrus oxide.  He said it 'relaxed' him when he was in the 'mean' dentists chair. 

After my new tooth was in place they whisked me away into the other room into a massage chair.  They left me there to relax and watch a little TV, or read magazines for a few minutes.  Then they came in and cleaned my teeth for me.  They gave me VIP treatment.  No extra charge!  And the bonus....My tooth was under warranty and there was no charge!  Imagine my surprise. 

 I think all dentist offices should have massage chairs (better than nitrus oxide)  and teeth under warranty.  Although if I had the opportunity to be queen for the day again I would probably choose Spa Bella.  They don't numb your face.

Winter Wonderland

It is snowing again at our home.  They are predicting about three inches of snow today.  It is beautiful as it falls from the sky.  We are enjoying it from the comfort of our home.  I know it will shut down the city again, and we will have to shovel the walks and driveway again tomorrow, but for now it is so beautiful to watch.

Our very own Texas winter wonderland.

Home Bound

It still amazes me how a little, or in this case ALOT, of snow can shut down an entire city.  Church was cancelled due to hazardous road conditions. We are enjoying another day at home reading, playing, watching movies, and enjoying one another's company!

Home bound is the place to be this week.  Good food, good times, good company.  Can't ask for more than that this Christmas!
