Snow Again

When I woke up with snowfall over the weekend, I was afraid all my fun, wondrous (no, not really) plans would be put on hold. Of course it stopped snowing almost immediately. Since then, the weathermen have been drilling the number of inches we're supposed to be getting in tonight's winter weather downpour. It's finally starting to look like a winter wonderland outside.

I spoke with one of my coworkers about a month ago about last year's blizzards. Even with 10+ inches of snow accumulation, they were expected to open the store and work. Yep, this is the life of retail. So, as I dream about an adult snow day tomorrow, the chances of that happening are less than the chances we'll get the 4 inches they keep preaching....That doesn't mean I won't keep my heads in the clouds tonight though (:

Already December

I can't believe that Thanksgiving has passed and now the winter holiday season is looming. I've been researching ideas for cheap gifts, seeing as how I am broke. Gifts include those for coworkers, those who have written me recommendations, friends close, friends far away, and family. Not only do I need gifts, but I also need greeting cards. Ugh. Tis the season of giving and getting even broker.

Not only that, but winter weather is something I've always dreaded. To cope, I always spend an inexorbitant amount of money and time shopping and buying things. For example, the past 3 weekends have been filled with trips to the mall. Last week's purchases require more purchasing to complete outfits (such as this dress - desperately in need of a belt(?) to break up the monotony).

I have decided on some homemade food items as gifts for the coworkers. In the next few weeks, I should have another post for how they turn out. Cross your fingers please.
