mo-VAH-do, to rhyme with Colorado
Heh, not so easy there. Since I've moved here, I hear it pronounced both Col-or-AH-do and Col-or-AD-o.

Allyson is a good egg. Totally agree.
It's been cold lately -- when I took Noah to school, it was 32 degrees. Brrrrrrr. Consequently my house is freezing. If we don't turn the heat on it slips back to about 58 degrees.
In other news, I'm reading Scorpio Races which is YA/Alternate world/Crazy Horse book. Fun!

My mother-in-law loved those, bless her. And in the winter long velour ones that zipped up the front.

Way to go, Allyson.
I am really grateful some days to live near my sister (she's only a mile away), so if I broke my leg or something I would have some support. Means a lot.

I'm glad to hear Allyson's boss is ok! I was voting for going over there for sure! And it's one of the reasons I'm glad I currently have a roommate--no coworkers would miss me for a day or more and couldn't stop in if they were worried.

Oh, well, I mean Movado sounds like avocado, like the va part sounds like bah in bah humbug, and mo and vo are both long o sounds.
It was close to 60 degrees here today. Weird weather. But I'll take it.

I want to wear housedresses. When am I old enough to wear those?
Okay, actually I want to wear muumuus. But the awesome Hawaii kind with all the bright colors.

Liese, are you all snowed? My parents got nearly 4", and with well below freezing temps, lots of ice on the roads. I-25 was closed from the city limits to Belen (dad was out and has to take surface streets, as they live in Doña Ana.) INSANE.
And we've only had one night barely below freezing so far this winter.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
We got probably two and a half feet over the three days based on what I can tell, but that's from facebook! Because we're in Indiana for our mini-furlough, which means we've got endless overcast skies and some dispirited raining. I feel somewhat jealous of the snowed-in peeps, which I acknowledge is probably deeply wrong.
Seriously, though? If I ever have to move back here to look after the familial units, I am so going to have SAD. I am used to the sunshine, I tell you what.
In mildly related news, I took a bubble bath and painted my nails tonight to try to shake the doldroms (SO has been sick, his dad took a tumble (he's fine, but it's still upsetting), lots of emotionally fraught stuff: it's just not been a restful hiatus.) and I did it too late at night, so now I have to stay up later for them to dry, and I'm probably still going to have the little texture squashies in them in the morning. Bah. It's OPI's mini Sanguine, though, so they're lovely and bloody looking at the moment.
