slippery Saturday

Hello,

We just had a couple of blasts of snow. Just enough to cover everything and make the roads slippery. Winter, it seems, is not going to go willingly (but does it ever?).

We had a wonderfully relaxing Saturday; started out giving away one of our tvs to our pet nanny. We don't have it hooked up, haven't used it in years so we figured we'd give her a newer one. She made some delicious cinnamon muffins.

Then we watched Princess Diaries 2. I know, I know, Princess Diaries 2? It was a fun, mindless movie. And it had Julie Andrews too. Then a short nap and now we are sitting here watching Animal Cops. I can't believe so many people are so cruel and neglectful of animals. I may not be much of an animal person but even I know how to treat them.

Ridiculous item of the day: If you've ever seen Psycho then you know that Norman Bates impersonates his dead mother. Well here's one for you: A man in Instanbul impersonated his dead mother in order to collect her pension. Suspicious bank employees (his deep voice was one give away) alerted the police and raided the guy's home and found his mother (the real one) buried in the basement. He told police the mother died of natural causes. Hmmmm....we'll see. The guy had previously been convicted of carrying firearms and armed robbery. He had also previously withdrawn over $6,000 (U.S.) from his mother's account.

That's all for now. Wherever you are tonight be safe, healthy and happy.
