It's Weeenter!


See this flower box? It finally froze last night.









Haven't checked on this one, but I think the flowers are dead and the vines aren't far behind. BUT, it's mid-January...and I live in Massachusetts. How can I complain??

Don't uproot the pansies. If they're winter hardy they bloom again this spring. PS: How's the amarylis doing?

I haven't grown it yet. It's been too nice and I still had plants! Will do as soon as I'm SICK of the cold!

This has been such a weird winter. Two weeks ago? Record high of over 70 degrees. Today? Could be a record low. Blah!

NYC Trip

Weekend in New York...my early birthday present from Randy (REALLY early, but what's time got to do with it when it's this great?!) We haven't been there together since the night Saddam Hussein was captured, so we were WELL overdue. I'm a huge Allman Brothers fan...love the music, love what it represents to me - great fun in the summertime and great times with my friends in bands past. The Holy Grail of Allman Brothers concerts is their annual run at the Beacon Theater in New York City. This year marks the 40th anniversary of this band.

Anyway, Randy scored tickets (at face value no less), got us tickets for the Acela train, and a free stay at the Waldorf Astoria thanks to all his Hilton points. Pictures anyone? Local bar for dinner and beers before the show. I love the little...

Telecommuting, and vacation plans

Telecommuting is awesome. The biggest upside to our company being bought 2 1/2 yrs ago is the ability to work from home. I don't abuse it and always get a lot more work done (no interruptions) and it's great for big projects. So, with yesterday's 9 incher, that's what I did. Randy works in downtown Boston and they said, hey, if you're not essential, don't come in. He didn't have brain surgery scheduled and neither did I (he's a regional VP and I'm a sales analyst), so we stayed home and did what we needed to get done. I always feel a little guilty or "weather-wimpy" in storms, but then I think, most employees at my corporation are women, most of them are moms, and most of them stayed home because it was a snow day. Why should I make myself a road hazard, driving like I'm 80, stressing out for over an hour both ways (usually 35 minutes) after spending forever digging the car out from my street space because of the plows, and bein...

Just counting

I have nothing to write about and I'm a little bored tonight. So I will count countries and remember times I was NOT so bored. England. Maybe 8 times? 10? the first time for 3 months though. Scotland Spain 3 times France Sweden Norway Denmark Belgium The Netherlands Hungary Austria Switzerland Czech Republic Slovakia 4 hours in Germany hanging around train stations with no Deutch Marks. Teehee. I can't count that! ;-) Canada Grand Cayman St Thomas St Maartin Jamaica Mexico US States: 45 Boy, there's a whole lot of world left to see.
