Disappearing Days

Ice and snow; Christmas shopping...when???

Christmas Eve is a week from today which leaves one week to do my shopping. Last weekend was lost with the effects from the ice storm. This weekend they're predicting significant snowfall Friday into Saturday and Sunday into Monday. Thankfully I don't have much shopping to do. Some stuff has been ordered online, some stuff has been made so I only need a few hours of good weather to finish it up.

In the good news department, I took delivery of my 2009 Ford Fusion last night. ("Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.") I ended up going to a different dealership where the people were much nicer and willing to work with me to get to yes. I have decided to name her Felicity; as in Felicity the Fusion. (Tamara please tell Samantha I have named my car!) Felicity means happiness and I'm happy with my new car. Plus everyone should have some happiness in their lives everyday!

I'll post a picture of the Fusion soon. It was dark when I got home last night and inclement weather has kept me from running out with my camera today. And yeah, yeah, yeah, I know I said I'd post ice storm pictures. I've been busy, but soon...

Christmas shopping is always best left until the last minute. Usually things have been pretty much picked over and there are fewer options, so less decision making stress. My favorite time to shop is early morning the day before Christmas. I can usually complete all of my shopping in 2 hours or less (I do buy a significant amount of stuff on the internet however.)

I haven't finished my shoping yet either. However, I will not have the problem of ice and snow to deal with. And if I do, I'm sure it will be in all the papers. However, saying that, I'm sure Kay and Hope remember Christmas Eve of 1989. Ice and snow in New Smyrna Beach and even more in Jacksonville.

Yes! I remember. I always tell people I've seen it snow in Florida. I remember driving through Jacksonville and people had used every bit of snow on their front lawn to make a snow man. Wow, hard to believe that was 19 years ago!!!
