'Blizzard' in the ATL

I'm late posting this morning as I woke up to SNOW in the south.  It's a really big deal (with untreated roads and memories of Snow-megedan still fresh).  I'm no dummy.  Not worth the risk of a sudden road freeze and hours trying to get home.

The problem was my refrigerator was bare!  I planned to grocery shop this morning.  So I threw on a jacket and shoes and took the trek to the local market before the "blizzard" arrived.  It was chaos everywhere.  I got some essentials and called it a morning.

Chloe refused a morning walk.  Little southern ladies don't do snow!  My northern pup was in his glory.

Car recall appointment canceled.  Financial planner appointment canceled.  A busy day just opened wide.

I like a snuggly day.  It's overcast so my Christmas lights look pretty.  Candle burning.  Music playing.  Very festive.

Anyway ... yesterday was a good day.  Chloe is adopted to a fantastic retired school teacher.  She will live a gloriously spoiled, well traveled, well adored life.  I drop her tomorrow.  I'm a little heart-sad again for me, but Chloe is the only real focus.

Dinner out with a friend was nice.  She's a great lady but severely non-medicated ADHD (per her own admission) and it's a little bit overwhelming.  But it was a good evening, good thai food and I was glad to get out.

Today is FINALLY the baking of the youngest's cookie choice.  Oatmeal raisin.  Love oatmeal, but hold the raisins.  Just like I love chocolate chip, but hold the chocolate chips.  I'm also making another batch of Magic Cookie Bars as hubby has already made a big dent in my supply.  I'm holding on the lemon bars since I don't know if they will freeze ... I like them too much to have them sitting around!

I need to get some pictures of some presents I bought.  I'll post about them next week.  I got an ugly Christmas Steelers sweater as a joke for hubby.  Turned out today was ugly sweater day at work so I gave it to him last night.  Perfect!

Okay, I'm rambling.  It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas here and I'm looking forward to this winter day.  Later gators.
