SNAILS!

So cute/peculiar.  Reminds me of the snails that would crawl (?) up/down the well in my parent's back yard. 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Pink!

Oopsie

Looks like this company hasn't heard the news that the guy is a lying piece of poo.

Freezing fog

I have now had the good (?) fortune of experiencing freezing fog.  Fog is no big whoop; I grew up with that.  I've been through an ice storm, which was creepy and weird.  However, freezing fog for almost 2 weeks kind of blows.  Automatic headlights contribute greatly to drivers neglecting to make themselves visible in the fog.  I do not like to be startled but the sudden appearance of a grey truck out of the fog.  Headlights or at least fog lights (go figure) is preferable (and safer) to fast-moving objects appearing out of the ether. The iciness sucks big floppy... well, let's just say it sucks.  I almost went ass over tea kettle this morning stepping out of my back door to holler at the dogs.  I then skidded around my car clearing off the ice.  Thankfully the icy-car-in-the-morning bit has become less frequent, though I would prefer it to sliding down my driveway backwards into the cul de sac (that's court for all you Bay Area folk).  Watching the dogs slip and skitter around on the deck is pretty gosh darned amusing, though trying to get Sophie in the house before she's done licking every icy surface outside can be a nuisance.  Some snow would be great.

I love my boys.

They make me smile every day.

So far, so awesome

The tabluter is pretty neat.  I am currently typing on the screen... and then with the touchpad.  Lickety split, it snaps on with a satisfying "click".  Yay, magnets.  The touchpad is like typing on a piece of cardboard.  Magic cardboard.

My tabluter is out for delivery!

I have purchased a Microsoft Surface for my Christmas/birthday (Jesus' b-day and my own) and it is arriving today.  Yay.  Alex came up with the term "tabluter" to describe the Surface, as the presence of a keyboard confused him.  He was calling it a laptop, I corrected him, so tabluter it is.
For those of you unfamiliar with this zippy  new thing, here's a picture:

Of course I got the pink keyboard.  Duh.

Update:
Yep, it's cool.  :)
