Shhhh....I'm at work...and I'm blogging!
I've closed my door, turned on the radio, just finished my Swiss Chalet lunch and decided that I was in the mood to blog.
Some NY Resolutions I'm still managing. My upstairs is not too bad, I can clean up within half an hour.
Audrey and Darrell have been over a few nights for dinner as they are in the process of doing some DIY Reno's to their kitchen. They have the exact same house as ours, but the layout is opposite. Strangely, I can never figure out exactly where I'd be in my house when I'm in hers because of all the Reno's done to both homes over the last 60 years. Anyway.
Audrey has this great idea of how to get me to work on time in the morning. Anyone who knows me, know that I am not a morning person. I snooze for at least a half an hour and then Greg has to sic the dogs on me. I am given a bath of kisses every morning by 2 dogs and a cat. Dutchess is a licker in the morning when she is hungry. So today we tried Audrey's great idea: I drive her to work in the morning. Her place of employment is on my way (pretty much) but despite leaving 15 minutes earlier than I normally would have, I STILL arrived late! The roads were bad this morning so I'm sure that had something to do with it, but we might have to leave a bit earlier. It's a little strange carpooling, especially in the morning. I like listening to the radio: the news, the song of the day, and the ticket-blitz contest. Audrey likes to talk. I missed it all! And since I was trying to listen to the radio, I'm not 100% of all of her conversation, either! I am going to either have to turn u0p the radio, or ask her not to talk. Either way...I'm wondering how long the car-pooling is going to last. Audrey is an early bird, up at 5:15, out with her dogs, and then leaves for work at 7am to hang out at Wallymart for an hour and then arrives at work at 8:20. There is no way in hell that I'll be doing any of that nonsense! She is desperately trying to get me into the habit of walking the dogs really early in the morning, she even got me a snood for Christmas so I would be nice and warm.
Here is my dog-walking get-up (please keep in mind that it is minus 20 degrees Celsius, which has got to be close to zero Fahrenheit)
I wore this to work today, minus the snood. I'm secretly hoping that someone will contact What Not To Wear and nominate me. Nonetheless, I was warm on my way to work, and walking the puppies.
People who know me from a former life, would never recognize me.

Commenting....from work! shhhhh
You look hysterical! :-)
Over here in AZ we've never seen clothes like that. In fact, we think it's silly that they sell long-sleeved stuff in the stores this time of year. You should visit!

The snood looks like the veil you sent to me from Saudi when you lived there. And now you are wearing a bright pink abaya rather than a black one. I think people would recognize you. Your beautiful eyes still stand out!

Ah, a vision in pink ;) You look warm and snug and given the temperature that's what counts!

I'm blogging from my sofa of recuperation. I get my surgical staples out today! Yay!

You look like an Easter Peep! However, I commend you for continuing to walk the dog, no matter how ridiculous you look.
