Who's Got The Snow?

I am torn between oh goody no snow yet, no below zero temperatures. Or to I can still go out with just a sweater on to Christmas with no snow? I shudder at the thought. That's what makes life bearable over here in New England.

It has been grey and overcast for around a week now. It has been raining for the last two days. You manage to shake off the winter blues and drag your ghost like white self outside to go to the store where everyone and everything seem to be going in slow motion.

Warm pyjamas, sweaters and soft fluffy socks are worn like old friends, I have to turn the oven on to get dressed to take the chill out of the air. The best thing about it being chilly is sleeping under a nice warm fluffy blanket and never coming out.

My neighbor is taking advantage of no snow and got a puppy running around shouting and playing. I had to look out the window to see what all the ruckus was about because he was the only one I heard. But yes in my neighbors back yard the puppy was silently bouncing around.

When I do make it to a store the people remind me of wrung out wash cloths looking really exhausted and just wanting to check out and go home. I know the feeling. And no one decorates outside anymore it's so not cheery.

When it's all dark and grey day after day it just sucks the energy out of the air so I can't believe I'm saying this but come on Mother Nature, Let the snow fly and let the sun out of the basement so we can all warm up a little.

How are you handling the changing weather? I love stories so do tell.

TerribleTuesday



Welcome to TerribleTuesday's first post. I know it's a little later in the morning and I am figuring out how to overcome this little hiccup to compensate being a 'night owl' which will be to post ahead. Polishing up my blogging style is coming along what seems like a herd of turtles I like to say.

It's the first of December, to my amazement we have  no snow, as of yet. I say this very quietly  so Mother Nature won't hear me and let those snowflakes fly.

In honor of December 25th, Christmas, my first movie review is Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas which I highly recommend you watch.


And I quote from Wikipedia, The Nightmare Before Christmas, often promoted as Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, is a 1993 American stop motion dark fantasy musical film directed by Henry Selick, and produced and conceived by Tim Burton. It tells the story of Jack Skellington, a character from "Halloween Town" who opens a portal to "Christmas Town" and decides to celebrate the holiday, with some dastardly and comical consequences. Danny Elfman wrote the film score. The principal voice cast includes Chris Sarandon, Kath Soucie, Jess Harnell, Ken Page, Paul Reubens and Glenn Shadix.

On one of my boards on Pinterest, which you can find the Pinterest button on the my blog's right sidebar, I have a board for 'Movies, Mostly Horror' if you would like any other suggestions for a movie to watch. I have watched them all.


Tales From The Crypt was the first horror movie I ever watched. I was eight years old, my father and I went to the Drive-in in his truck, it was 1966 (man I feel old now) and I remember peeking over a pillow as I watched which at that age I thought was a horribly scary movie.

What was the first or scariest film you ever watched? I love stories so do tell.
