Snow Is Falling And As Much AS I'm Not Fond Of It I Have To Admit It Looks Pretty

Happy Thursday Everyone! have to say that the weather forecast for today seems to be right on point. Right now it's lightly snowing but that will all change to sleet and then to rain as the day goes on. Schools are closed so it's a remote day for them. A little disappointing for my grandkids as they would love a snow day off. Today is a good day to stay in and not worry about having to go anywhere. Once I get the few things I need to do around the house, I'm going to pick la book and read for awhile. With all the holiday preparations I've been caught up in so many other things that I haven't had time to read. Speaking of the holidays, I hope my picture shows up. My daughter made me a new ornament for the tree and she knows how much I love gnomes. I think it came out cute. I'm already working on my second cup of coffee as I don't even remember drinking the first one. Guess my mind has been busy and I drank it while thinking about a million other things. Do you ever eat or drink something while being preoccupied and then don't remember it?

That's a lovely ornament. Yes, I take a multivitamin every morning. Sometimes, later in the morning, I'm not sure if I have taken it. lol.

I had to put my pills in a weekly organizer so when I take them the day slot is empty. Otherwise like you I wouldn't remember if I took them

@Beestring it's very helpful and those organizers aren't expensive

This ornament is so cute, I love the little gnome on it. It is snowing here and it is supposed to snow all the night long.

It's just plain miserable here today. We're getting everything and I'm hoping the rain just washes away everything that falls beforehand. Are you supposed to get a lot of accumulations?

@Marilynda1225 - We could have quite a lot of accumulation during the night. Tomorrow afternoon it should rain. If the temperature does not drop under 32 F it should help to melt the snow.

@LadyDuck hope you get enough warmth to melt the snow. I'm also hoping it stays above freezing so the rain we get later doesn't turn to ice

Those snow deliveries keeps going out your way! Your daughter's ornament came out super cute! Lately I pick up the kids and realize I can't remember if I've had lunch or not .

Yup the snow keeps coming no matter how many times I try to refuse delivery I love my ornament too! I can understand by being a busy mom how you could forget if you ate or not.

@Marilynda1225 Wish our mountains could have more snow - it's badly needed! Not enough deliveries . Does your ornament gnome have a name? I never used to forget about eating, so sometimes it's kinda scary .

@much2say hopefully this winter your mountains will get snow. It's dire when they don't get enough. I never thought to give my little gnome a name. Guess I should think about that No matter how busy I've been I don't think I ever forgot to eat

I watched the snowstorm from a live cam in Duluth, Minnesota the other night. I love snow…somewhere else. Not much on forgetting food; however, I have a tendency to wonder if I took my pills or not.

@Marilynda1225 — they’re predicting brutally cold weather and maybe snow next week, so I went to get a lot of “comfort” foods (like soups and chili that I can pour over potatoes for a filling meal).

@FourWalls stocking up on "comfort" foods is a good idea. I try to do the same during the winter months since the weather can be so unpredictable

I have to have my pills in an organizer. This way if the slot is empty I know I took my pils that day. Otherwise I definitely wouldn't remember Snow is pretty but I hate the whole "after it stops" stuff. Shoveling, slippery walking and/or driving etc

I love your ornament, she did a really great job on it. Today was a messy day here today. I only have to go into the office once and month, and wouldn't you know that it was today. As much walking as it is to get from the parking garage across the enclosed walkway over the street, across the conference center to the correct tower that I work in and then the elevator ride up, it was fun. I got to go over and see my original manager, her team was putting a cream pie in her face for donations, they noticed myself and another person not from that department, so they opened up the donations to us, I had a $20 bill so I paid for myself and my co-worker to each pie her in the face. I pushed it upwards, so she had it up her nostrils. We all laughed so hard afterwards. It was so rich spending a little bit of time with her, she is one of my favorite people at work. She works in advanced collections, and is always trying to recruit me to come over to her department, but it sounds like a mean department, but she said that the customers are always very sweet because you work with them to keep what they have.

That sounds like you had a really fun day going into work. I can imagine all the laughter with getting pies in the face. I would donate to that too I guess advanced collections isn't the new department you're going to?

So far I haven't had much more than kritters on my mind and I haven't forgotten that first cup of jo, trouble is I always tend to the kritters before I get that cup. Your daughter is talented. I hope she has time to make more for you.

The ornament is adorable. I'm glad you're safe and sound. That weather front was a real bear. I've taken my meds and forgotten that I took them. They are in a 7-day container so that's not a problem.

For me I am just seeing snow in the television. I have never touched or encountered snow. The snow I caught is the sort like ice flakes in freezer alongside the walls.

I imagine it would be intriguing hearing all about snow but never actually experiencing it in person. Maybe one day you'll be able to.

Sometimes I experience this while eating my my favourite roasted peanuts. I could easily not find the packets that I had already eaten up while thinking deeply about my miserable life

I can eat or drink mindlessly sometimes. I try not to eat while chatting here because I'm done and then don't remember what I ate or even if I enjoyed it. Many times I've picked up my coffee to take a sip and it's empty
