I have a coworker who has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and that just sucks. I got my Livestrong bracelet out and I'll wear it for her now. I feel so sad about this because she has been at my company for a longer time than I have ... so ... somehow she should be immune or something I guess. That's nonsensical, but that's just the way I feel.

It was snowing when I woke up this morning about 6:30 a.m. so I'm not sure what time it started. It snowed steadily all day but because it was just below freezing, it didn't accumulate very fast. Once night fell, it started sticking more on the streets. We went to a movie, and the streets were still wet and slushy, then they turned slick and icy and by the time we got home from having dinner out, the streets were pure white. When I went out about noon to fill the bird feeders and leave some sliced apple for the robins, there was only about two inches. I don't know how much is out there now, but it sure is pretty.
Seasons are pretty freakin' fascinating to me. It's just the strangest thing how one month I'll be sitting on my patio in shorts and a T-shirt and in another month there will be snow covering everything and it's so pretty. Summer is my favorite, but the other three all have their moments.

OK, this was funny last night or this morning. I was awake watching my new "Dr. Quinn" DVDs in bed. Hubby was sleeping next to me. I think it was about 1 a.m. when some clothes fell off my dresser. I had put what I had been wearing that day up there and they slid off and made a noise as they fell. I said, "What the heck was that?" even though I saw almost immediately what it was.
Hubby, who isn't really awake, says, "It's the cat." Um, we don't have a cat.
So I started giggling and I said to him, "What cat?" And he sat halfway up in bed, gestured dramatically with disgust at the door and said, "Well, you've been lettin' all those cats in here ..." and rolled over to go back to sleep.
Unfortunately when he said that, I just started laughing like crazy because that was funny. He sounded so disgusted, like I'd just been letting every cat in the neighborhood in our house until we were just overrun with them and now they were wreaking havoc in our bedroom. So I couldn't stop laughing then and he finally woke up enough to ask me what the heck was going on. And I told him and then kept on repeating it, laughing hysterically every time I said it, until pretty soon he was laughing just as hard.
So yeah, major laughter at 1 a.m. Darn cats.

So I went on over to the store today at lunch time. Met hubby there to have some lunch because he deserved a reward after having done some work around this house in his leisure hours, thank goodness. I wanted to spend some of my Christmas money from my folks, and about a month ago or so, I saw that "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" had come out on DVD.
Well, I craved it for about that long, so today I went and bought it. I hadn't seen any of them in years, though when it was on, I recorded and watched it faithfully. I just love that show and I had forgotten just what a romance Dr. Mike and Sully had. How wonderful. I'm having so much fun watching the eps again.

AD, at least I can say I know someone who has met Robert Wagner.
