Good evening!
I already mentioned that our school district has a two hour delay opening for tomorrow morning. I'm still hoping it changes to a snow day. Not sure if it will though. Especially since they are already talking about the next snow storm on Sunday night. The snow is supposed to turn over to freezing rain tomorrow and I'm worried about the ice accumulation. We'll see what happens.
I'm feeling a little headachey so I'm going to turn in.
Everyone please be careful and stay safe tomorrow.
See you in the morning.
Goodnight and sweet dreams!

Please be safe, Xmas--you and all of you who have to drive in the snow, sleet, and ice! Love your siggie!

My work they expect you to make it unless there is a state of emergency. If you get into an accident due to snow, it still isn't an acceptable excuse for missing work. I am already very anxious about my drive tomorrow, especially now they are calling for heavy snow, sleet and freezing rain.

It is painful, at least until the "stuff" is released by needle! Once the pressure is off, it feels LOTS better!

That sounds painful.

Now that is hilarious, Made!!! Thanks, I will stay safe in it!

I am yawning like a fool, I think it is time to get some shut eye.

Good night, everyone.

Hubby and my son worked so hard on the house today and made great progress! I went to the store to buy Kane lots of goodies to have in the trailer. It is only a small trailer, but it looks new and is clean. We had the bed ready for him, and we have electricity hooked up and the heat is on. He does have to come in to the house for showers and bathroom needs. They have the subflooring down and Hubby and son put down some plywood so I can now walk out the back "door" and not fall. I am really getting excited!

Sugar, I was reading a (thriller) book last night that mentioned a place in Pennsylvania: Roadside America in Shartlesville. I researched it and want to stop there when Hubby and I go across the US. Have you ever been?

Stay safe, Holiday, and have fun out in the snow! I am on the border of 3-6" according to online weather maps and according to the radio "we might see an inch or two tonight". Confusing!

It has been snowing like crazy all night! I just hope it does that all night long so we both get a "snow day" tomorrow!

Enjoy your snow - whatever it is!!! Lol!

Still thinking about that snow tomorrow. Looks like 6 to 10 inches in our area.

Also thinking about the afghan I'm working on. Don't you hate it when a pattern isn't perfectly clear? I did two long (140-stitch) rows last night in a complicated pattern stitch that creates a series of spaces. The next row, which is shells worked into the spaces, requires the number of spaces to be evenly divisible by 4, but the pattern stitch works out to 70 spaces! It needs to be either 68 or 72. I'll have to frog what I did last night and fudge it somehow when I redo it so I get the right multiple of spaces. Urgh! I had jotted a note on the pattern the last time I worked it that says "72 spaces/multiple of 4," but didn't make any notes on how I managed to do that! I think I need to make some more notes! One thing I like about crochet over knitting is that it's easier to fudge a couple stitches more or less when you need to. But it's such a pain when you need to!

Ohhh, I hate that!!!! I hope you find an easy fix!!!

Hubby is at a meeting and will be home soon. We will go to dinner while Kane is visiting with friends. Good night, everyone.

Xmas, that's awful. I'll be praying for your safety tomorrow and other folks who have to be out on the road. Mr. will be driving to the train station when it's expected to be falling heavily. I'm so grateful that the nature of my work allows me to work from home when I need to. But I'll have to try to keep the drive way open so Mr. can get in when he gets home, and I don't know if I can handle the wet snow we may get. Oh, well, that's tomorrow.

Payback for being mean, I guess, LOL! It is only really painful when I let it go too long before I "release" the fluid. Then it throbs! Other than that, the pain in my knees, and a remnant of the sinus stuff, things are good! How have you been doing, MC?

Pretty good except for a bug that hit me for about 3 days last week.

Seawaters said:
Make sure you make specific notes this time! I hate when I do something like that and just cannot remember what and how I did it! I am working on a scrapbooking project that relies a lot on memories, so I hope I can do it justice!

I think if I adjust the number of stitches on the row before the pattern stitch it should make it come out right. For this one, I'll just fudge the pattern stitch or the shells to make it work. I don't want to frog the rows again and make the yarn ragged. I'll definitely make better notes this time so I'll know what to do next time! It's a gorgeous pattern, so I may be making another one sometime.

Your scrapbook project will come out fine, I know it.
