Horrible Ice Storm Strikes McKinney




This week we had a good 1/20th of an inch of ice and sleet, which immobilized our community. Being the brave soul that I am, I actually made into work by 9:30 (after following the advice of our local news anchors, which was to pack a blanket, extra water and some canned rations if you just had to get out). Made the most of my trip and snapped some pics that I'll share with you. I thought the first one should be called "In the Dead of Winter" and the second one "Sugar-coated Garlic". It was pretty, I have to say.

Happy Birthday to Me!


I woke up this morning and it only took me a few seconds to think "Yay! Today's my birthday!" Then, on the heels of that thought, came "Aren't you getting a little old for that?" Who is that, exactly, that's always trying to poop my party? I ignored that pesky little voice, and got up and decorated my birthday cake.
