Gem, can you ask your husband to stop at Target and get you boots? They have multicolor rain boots that do the job. Cheap too. Not very warm, but just get a size bigger and wear extra socks.

When it comes to white wine, I like Chardonnay.

Denton, that sounds very tasty. We have a traditional Christmas recipe but nothing for New Years. One year in California when I made steamed ginger lobster but can’t imagine doing that here.

Re storm, cars stuck on our street all day for two days. Three days. Still stuck today. Steve & others on the block kept going out all day long to help people. And still were this morning when I left for work.

Thank you, Arkady, for the plastic bag idea. I shoulda done that! Maybe tonight when I’m putting out the trash.

Ah, Dirty Hipster, what a perfect day you had yesterday. I am so jealous 🙂

But I did finally clean the downstairs hearth though so we can move the kitchen! I’d been putting that off for weeks. It was an-unknown-number-of-years-and-mice disgusting.

Stil is, really. I’ll have to try paint stripper on it later this week. Ah, so glorious.

I agree with Pete. I don’t have a car here so I really don’t care all that much. I enjoy the snow, including the bedlam and mayhem that goes with idiots getting stuck in it. The subway is working so I’m fine. if I need a car service home some night, Atlantic, Bedford & halsey have all been plowed. No problemo.
