Technical Hiccups

Cooooooold snowy day -- 27 degrees and windy. Whitecaps on the bay. Best gas price $1.67. Got let down by technology twice today... I have pretty snow pix to upload to my Facebook account, but all attempts at uploading have failed. On a lower-tech front, I have some sewing to do, but I seem to have bobbin issues today. Bobbin wants to tie knots under the fabric. Arg. Well, could be worse. Just found out another friend has been without power for 4 days... while my lights are on and my heat works! So not so terribly miserable. I'm wondering about motivation these days. So much I want to do, and don't. I think it's partly being lazy and partly being overwhelmed! Really do need to chomp things into smaller pieces and have some small successes, I think. Let's see if the Blog will let me upload some pix!! ***

Well, yes, there they are. Not gonna to the right-side align next time; it's not great. Pix are taken December 14 around March's Point. I dunno what the seagulls were excited about but they look good in the photo.

Holiday Music. Yech.

Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Filled up the truck for $1.79/gallon. Love the price drop, but hate what it's taken to get it.

On my mind now -- Christmas music. Ug. My graphics dept. is upstairs from a retail shop, and we have a holiday radio station playing non-stop. Does anyone really need to hear "Jingle Bell Rock" again in their lifetime? One of the gals downstairs really likes it. I, on the other hand, think it's some of the lamest music that could be foisted on us. I wouldn't object if there were some really grand music like Handel's "Messiah" or maybe Benjamin Britton's "Ceremony of Carols" -- but no, that sort of thing isn't anything that you can play at a retail shop, I suppose. Maybe if I had a passel of little kids that I adored coming to visit every Christmas, I'd have a different attitude toward this genre, but I don't... so it just makes me grinchy. Wasn't that how they forced Noriega out of hiding... by playing music at him that he didn't like, all the time?

Where in the world are my headphones...
