“snow bunny” implies I enjoy being outside in the cold wet white stuff. There are some things that are farther from the truth than that, but not bloody many.
Rosie, the Cute Snow Bunny.
In was very cold outside, and Rosie, the cute snow bunny, was warm in her little bunny hole. But she was very hungry, so she hopped outside to see if there was any food in Farmer Rabinowitz’ garden.
Snow bunnies have large feet so they walk on snow, and fur between the toes to keep them warm, so Rosie easily hopped over the lovely white snow to farmer Rabinowitz’ carrot patch.
But not a one was there! For farmer Rabinowitz was an evil capitalist, and he had sold all his carrots to Wal-Mart for filthy lucre.
What would Rosie do? There was no food!
It’s cold enough to freeze the ears off a grass donkey, as a comic book character onoce said.
I have 2 heaters on and I’m wearing multiple layers of clothes, including a really unfashionable yellow hoodie. Heh. And it’s still cold!
I’ll do the double blanket thing again tonight, probably.
Rosie hopped back to her warren, put on her people slippers, and dialed up the local Chinese take out place for an order of Buddha’s Delight.
That’s what I want for supper - Chinese food! Unfortunately, no place around here delivers, as far as I know. Rats.
Happy New Year 2014!!!
I’ve been mostly lurking of late; I do hang out a bit on Facebook (stuck on level 226 of Papa Pear Saga grrr!). It’s been fairly quiet in ABQ, at least for the time being. Just wanted to check in and remind folks to be careful, those in the sights of the storm. It sounds like a bear. 
Hope everyone had a good celebration, and also that a wonderful year lies in store.
Soon there was a knock on the warren door.
It was Swampy the Bear, with a little sack.
“Why, Swampy!” exclaimed Rosie, “whatever are you doing with that little sack?”
“The hard economic times have made me take a Job for Rabinowitz Chinese Take-out,” replied the friendly bear. I thought there were some fortune cookies in hear somewhere.’ He began searching through the sack.
“There are a lot of carrots in Budda’s Delight.” grumbled Rosie. “Won’t you join me, Swampy Bear?” Rosie was taking plates from the cupboard.
“Aha!” exclaimed Swampy the Bear, producing a package of somewhat the worse for wear fortune cookies. “Thank you very much, but I’m afraid I cannot fit through you warren door.”
“Why, we shall sit on the deck”, exclaimed Rosie, “and have a Winter pic-nic!”
Then Rosie says “Only kidding. It’s too cold outside. Here.” She gives Swampy the Bear a big thick blanket to wrap around himself. “Enjoy your cookies in your den where it’s warm. Maybe you can share them with someone who appreciates you.” She bids her friend safe journey, and closes her door. Then she pours her dinner out onto a plate and nibbles to her heart’s delight.
And she lived happily everafter.
Farmer Rabinowitz, on the other hand, had visits from the Health Department, the IRS, his Banker, and his Mother-in-law.
He is doing fifteen to twenty in the state prison.
It still is not snowing here. It is raining. There may be ice tomorrow, but I have plenty of beer and TP(French toast is not useful in the restroom).
Hey, Herbs!

flytrap bears hibernate in the Winter. We don’t do the snow either. SHEESH! Take a high school biology course would ya! 
It’s raining - cold, miserable, creeping to the bones. Tonight’s low is forecast to be 22°. Tomorrow’s high: 26°.
I may opt out of work tomorrow - we shall see. I can’t see driving 30-ish miles on potentially icy roads, especially since I don’t have anything to do at the office. I think I’m talking myself into staying home.

Howdy All, 'Twas 85 degrees here today but we have a cold front on he way tonight and it will get to the mid 60’s tomorrow. Irked but didn’t want to. At least tomorrow Is Firday.
All you in the snow and ice and cold be safe.
I hate you.
Rain and snow is forecast for Saturday night and Sunday, lows Sunday in the teens.
I just went outside to make sure the “No Snow” signs were still in workin’ order.
Just for giggles, I logged on to my work email and saw a message from my boss’ boss - I’d forgotten that we have to check the base status to know when/whether to go it. So when I get up, first thing I’ll do is turn on the news. I may be able to go back to sleep…
Meanwhile, it’s time to knit. MWAH!!
we got snow
looks like 2 inches
i’m glad i don’t have to go out tomorrow
lasagna out of a box for dinner
better than nothing
one day i’ll get in the kitchen and make the real stuff

By the way, thanks, Yllaria. (for post 151.) 
I tried to practice the ukulele today. Yesterday I’d memorized the first few bars of a piece, and by today, I’d largely forgotten it. Dang.
I tried practicing the piano. I sort of got through the C major scale with two hands.
I guess I’ll go practice my ordinary clarinets.
I wish I had an extraordinary clarinet. Well, maybe my bass clarinet counts.
