This would be my idea of going all out on your Christmas lights.
(I hope you can see it. It's a red "X" for me...)
supposed to fizz?
It took me ALL day to get the lights hung outside and to get the correct ends of the extension cords to match up so I could actually plug them in.
WHY do I bother? I don't KNOW!!! I must like Christmas lights. Sigh.
Then, I FINALLY get everything lined up and plugged in. I come in the house. *Sniff sniff* What is that smell?!?!?
Splendid. I have stepped in dog crap.
AND someone (not me) has been eating fresh cat turds out of the litterbox while I was outside.
So, I am getting whiffs of both.
If you find me hanging out in my tree by a strand of Christmas lights, don't come cryin' to me.
I took this idea from the Digital Photography School. It should be a fun quest. Take photos of your shoes and have some fun. Here is the article from the Digital Photography School website http://digital-photography-school.com/shoes-weekend-photography-challenge.
Put your shoes in unusual places or show your shoes going somewhere. Photograph them in color, b & w, neon, up-side-down, sideways, on - off, in the closet, on the floor, in the car, on top of the house. Have some fun with this one.
All photos must be taken during this Quest and taken by you. Size and amount of photos is up to you.
The power is out in my building and it looks like it's out in the entire area. Cops are directing traffic at the intersection.
The elevators aren't working but at least the common areas have emergency lighting. Even in my Big Window Office, it's too dark to get any reading done.
If I wanted to go home, I would need to go outside and then down the ramp into the garage. I'd rather sit in here where it's dry, goof around on my bberry and watch the happs going on below.
It's just like being safe and dry in a blizzard, or as close as I'll get to it in Phoenix. *warm fuzzies*
*UPDATE* - The power is back on. I didn't even finish my hot cocoa. Harumph. Guess I'll have to get back to work.
It's a dark, dreary and damp day in the desert.
I love it. I'm always more productive under gray skies. <-- I double checked the spelling of gray/grey just now. "Grey" is the color but "gray" is the Americanized spelling. Maybe I should get an American dictionary instead of this British Oxford English one sitting here on my desk.
My ruling: Whatever floats your boat should be the version you use. There.
Anyway, we're supposed to have blizzard conditions in what we refer to as the 'high country'. Cool. I love a good blizzard, especially when I'm safe and warm. Good luck to the peeps up there in the higher elevations in riding out the storms!
Because I have nothing else of import to report and I need to knuckle down here at work, I'll leave you with some bad Christmas music. This is a repeat for some of you so you may choose to skip it. For the rest, enjoy and make sure you have sharp instruments handy to gouge out your eardrums!

After the dustup Pig thought Squirrelio needed some Just Desserts.
Suddenly apple nabbing had gotten much harder.
Squirrelio was not amused.
So Squirrelio decided to leave Just Desserts 'til later.
But while Squirrelio was eating good foods, Interloper pulled and pulled until he made Just Desserts his own. Cow was concerned. She knew this would not end well.
Squirrelio could not believe Just Desserts was gone. Surely this was Pig's doing.
Squirrelio said, "You Pig !!!" But Pig only snickered....
here it is, a bit bigger (click a few times for maximum embiggenment)
the magnificent, cholesterol-laden blog that originated these beauties, has them for sale. as posters, though. I'm sure they are *almost* too beautiful to fold 16x as to fit in the glovebox. *almost*
