Obligatory snow post

[cupcake_goth]

I like snow. I think it's pretty.

I think Seattle drivers are incapable of dealing with it, but I still like snow. Plus, I'm tickled that we're getting snow on December 1st.

And now, I go to put insulating plastic stuff on the bedroom windows. Yes, me, attempting a home-maintenance project. But it doesn't involve power tools OR fire, so all of you can breathe easier. (Not that anyone, including stroppy_baggage, would allow me near power tools or fire. Just because I get a gleeful crazed expression when near them doesn't mean I can't be trusted with them, honest!)

Snow! Of course, this means I will get a cranky phone call from my mom who hates hates hates snow, because she holds me personally responsible when snow happens. I did not summon the Snow Demons this time, but will she believe that? Nooooooo ...

In about an hour, somewhere in Kirkland there will be a happy, skinny boy and an even happier old, black dog. Me? I think it's purty, but you know I'm all about the warm.

So apropo

Not three days after your thing about tourists, we got a screaming example of every bad tourist nightmare ever at the club.

Tipped like shit, he and his wife spent all night propositioning gothy looking girls, asked me where they could pick up a "hot chick" to sleep with, and then were impossible to get out of the club at the end of the night.

Stupid California yuppies.

You sent us your rain! I can't believe you did that!

Yay, snow!

I agree, snow is beautiful. Some don't like it, but it rarely lasts long around here, so I just enjoy it while it lasts.

I adore snow! Please to be sending that weather system out this way when y'all are done with it, and tell it not to waste itself on the midwest, aye? kthx. ;)

and an obligatory (because I like to say obligatory) progress update:
your skirt is hanging up in my workroom, sans lower ruffle, to let the bias hang out and relax so's I can get an accurate measurement so's to do the math for the ruffles. :) I'm currently working on wee things for dollfies, and then I will get back to ruffly goodness. :)

*hugs*

ps, how's the recovery going, dear, if you don't mind saying?

I'd let you play with my power tools. They're most useful to those who have gleeful crazed expressions when using them. Then again, my burning man camp is nothign but crazed power tool users who build their own flame throwers. I even have the old Tchkung! grinder they used for creating sparks for their shows.

FLUFFY SNOW!!

Whee!

I hope it sticks around long enough for us to get pictures of Lillian in it.

Power tools that are on fire!!!!

That is such a good idea. I have another new project for Burning Man '06!

Some day you and I will take a class on arc welding - the ultimate fire power tool. ;)

I mind the snow *less* here. But I still have HORRIBLE memories of being blind for months, and constantly cold and damp and in pain. It's going to be a long while before I can see snow and think "pretty" instead of "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!". The last big snow storm here in Seattle, I had to walk from 125th and 15th NE to 59th and 20th NW (or, from Lake City to Ballard). I ended up with pnuemonia, one totally ruined pair of boots (because they were too *short* for the snow), blisters, and strained muscles. It was HORRID.

So, um, yeah... Snow and I... not friends.

Oh honey, Seattle drivers can't drive in *weather*. If it is a normal, overcast, drizzly day, they are mopey and depressed and don't pay attention. If it is sunny, everyone spazzes out and is either blinded by the light or too busy staring up to watch where they are driving. When it rains heavily, they are not used to it and drive slowly. Heaven forbid it actually *really* snows. Everyone will drive 20 mph except, of course, for the SUV with their presumed invulnerability. They will be in ditches on the sides of the road.

Power tools? Fire? Where???

SNOW!

We need to get some of that plastic stuff for Emily's windows. Thanks for the reminder!

Jill, there is a reason we do not let you have powertools.



And that reason is that saying "But really, she means well officer." is not going to fly. And bail is expensive.

The recovery is going AMAZINGLY well. 'Textbook perfect', according to my doctor.

Have I mentioned how excited I am about the skirt? ;) I'm sure I have. Skirt! Yay skirt! Oh, and I liked the wee dollfie photo-story you had in your journal the other day; I'm still so mesmerized by the little things, but just cannot bring myself to get one. Eh, maybe someday ...

Hmm...good thing she doesn't know about the arc welder and oxy-propane torch in my garage, then. Er, oops!
