Baby it's cold outside.

The snow has melted into a fine slush. The world is just one giant slurpee. I took advantage of the calm weather and made a break to Fred Meyers to stock up on food goods as I was down to freezerburned garden burgers and canned soup. We're scheduled for another 3-6 inches of snow tonight but I'm a bit skeptical, it feels a little too warm outside. I'm just hoping we don't get freezing rain. Freezing rain that breaks the branches off the trees and downs the power lines. At least I have gas heating, stove and water heater so I'll be clean and can eat. Reading by candlelight sounds so very romantic but it's hard on your eyes.

Snow storm!
2004-01-01 2:02 p.m.

Due to the unexpected snow storm (it's still snowing) the New Years Day swim was cancelled. I was psyched to go but relieved as my miata doesn't do well in the snow and the roads are full of packed snow. At least it's pretty outside.

Instead of regaling you with tales of hypothermia I'll have to do something less entertaining and post my resolutions for 2004:

1) Spend time with people who are quality - no wasting time on maybes or drama queens.

2) Keep the weight off. Eat light and healthy, focus on more vegetarian eating.

3) Get my blue sash in kung fu this year.

4) Write another novel and send sexy vampire novel off to be published (after a rewrite).

5) Continue with the improve acting classes.

6) Get spiritual with other people. Wicca group or hang out a buddhist temple. Something...

7) Make new friends by cultivating cool and interesting people.

8) Be a fabulous employee - work hard and make boss' life easier.

9) Get finances in order, get rid of credit card debt and research refinancing or buying a bigger house.

10) Treat myself like a princess and expect that everyone else will treat me the same way. After all, I deserve it. :)

Holiday eye candy.

Here's a picture of the one horse open sleigh carriage that was going by my house on Christmas day.

Here's Loki teaching my brother the proper way to wrap/unwrap Christmas presents.

Due to a sudden hail storm we did indeed have a white Christmas.

Here's the snow cat that Loki, Trinity and I made last night. Notice the button eyes, oregano whiskers and dragon fire chewing gum nose. By this morning the red dye in the chewing gum made for a frightening impression of a drive by shooting.

Pretty, snowing and jumping into cold water.

Today was my Christmas spa day. I spent three hours getting massaged, steamed, facialized and pedicured. I'm now clean, moisturized and my toes are painted burgundy.

It's snowing outside! I need to run out there and build a snow cat before it melts.

I still don't know what I'm doing for New Years yet. I have some vague plans and some even vaguer back up plans.

The kung fu schools are suppose to jump into the Columbia river on New Years Day at noon. Here's hoping it snows again! Brrrr.

At least she smells good.

While I've been on vacation I've been staying up later at night and sleeping in during the mornings. One of my favorite things to do is to take a bubble bath and read while listening to BBC world news. Somehow war, death and disease doesn't sound so terrifying when it's being delivered in a calm British voice. So last night, I'm chin deep in an avocado bubble bath, reading and listening to the dulcet tones of BBC news when Trinity runs into the bathroom and jumps up on the rim of the tub. Normally this isn't a big deal but last night her front end stoppedn but her rear end kept going. Into the tub. So I have this frantic striped cat with her paws grasping the side of the tub and from the middle down she's underwater, kicking bubbles into my eyes as she tries to claw her way out of the tub. I had to throw my book in the hamper and push her butt out of the tub before she fell all they way in and used me as a boat ramp.

So much for a relaxing bubble bath, on the upside she smells like avocados now.
