Beth, looks like you could use these: ooooo.

The woman interviewing me this morning asked if I had boots! I said they are in the mail...

The cold has stolen beth's letters.

We've still got the wind going, and it's scoured the snow off every high spot on the grounds. The very dry Utah snow is just being blown around and drifting up anywhere the wind gets interrupted. I don't even want to think about Wyoming, where there's lots of nothing to slow the wind down.

It'd be very pretty if I never had to go out in it.

We haven't had a lot of wind here as yet. Driving in to work, I felt like I was in a snow globe. Lightly drifting flakes were falling. The trees had that stereotypical winter snow draping the branches. Unfortunately, it meant the roads were also still covered in snow and ice. But that meant we had to go slow and pretend not to be enjoying the scenery.

In honor of Tom Waits' sixtieth birthday I need to note that it is "colder than a well-digger's ass" today.

It's freezing in the office today. I have a full length leather coat that I wore in, but that's a bit much to wear around the office. But since it doesn't look like the afternoon sun will be warming my cube, I may have to use it. My poor hands.

I thought that the second season picked up around episode 4 and has the funniest ep of the series.

I concur with ita on this (both the season, and the episode, if it's the one I think it is). The season started kind of off, but picked up as it went along.

Mega dentist appointment in 35 minutes. Uhg. But, I got up and swam and then went out and bought gift cards and bras. Another cup size bites the dust. I think xmas is going to be a gift card and charity donation holiday. Boys, I am just going to buy on amazon this week...

Our office is too. Everyone's wearing coats. The story from building mgmt is that "Due to the design of the building HVAC system, it takes a bit longer to heat up after such a cold weekend." But, they are offering warm coffee tomorrow morning so we should all be fine.

Seriously?

We have super high ceilings in our office, 12 ft or so. Somehow, even though the thermostat is at person level, it's always off several degrees. So right now it says 72 but it's more like 65.

Okay, ready to go home now. My four hrs of sleep is starting to tell. And after this I have two hrs of therapy, then a quick trip to the grocery store, then another quick stop to buy some Xmas gifts (I know exactly what I want), then to a bellydance event. Thankfully, it's all within about 6 blocks of each other, including my house, but I won't get home until about 10 pm, probably.

Unrelated question for the hivemind.

Where can I buy a decent (i.e., not super cheap, but not too expensive either) tiara for a 5-year-old girl? Online would be better than stores, but I'll brave a store if it doesn't require driving.
