OK, it's time to face the music. I'm back, and I promise to give you, my faithful reader, an update of my sorry lot in life at least once a week.
I haven't written because it's Winter In The Midwest. This is the time of year that those descended of the true pioneers just hunker down and drink vodka and wait for Spring. Out of respect for my ancestors, I have done just that (and come up with a pretty satisfactory Bloody Mary, if I do say so myself.....)
Anyway, here's what's been going on in my life since shortly before Christmas:
- I got a great haircut for 20 bucks, and found a hairdresser that I think I can live with. Sadly, that was the introductory price, so from now on, I'll be paying full freight.
- I had a wonderful Christmas! My favorite gifts were the refurbished Dressy Bessy and Dapper Dan dolls my Mom gave me, and the beautiful Christmas scrapbook from my sister. My nephew gifted me with homemade strawberry jelly, which was fabulous. I also got booze. It's come in handy..
- My DBF (Dear Boyfriend, aka: My Hunge) gave me a huge check that I used to have my sofa, club chair and ottoman recovered. The couch is done, and it's gorgeous. The chair and it's companion are being picked up for refurbishment this weekend.
- The plumbing went south several weeks ago, making for several very uncomfortable days at Casa HotFlashChick, but all is well now, and hopefully will be for many decades. I found a wonderful, if not too bright, plumber named Wally. He is a wizard.
The good news is that February is over, as is the 1st week of March. Spring is probably only 2 months away. Perhaps. I currently crave July.
Rejoice!
Yes, winter in the midwest sucks. I keep telling mom youes guys were just hibernating...
