Yesterday was the coldest day of the year so far. The wind chills were well below zero and the blowing snow was horrible. I went into the office to get some work done and the roads sucked. They were alittle better when I came home, but they still have snowy patches on them. Some people haven't even had their roads plowed yet from the snow we got on Friday. We are now expecting another 2 to 4 inches tomorrow and tomorrow night. Then a possibility of freezing rain/sleet on X-mas eve. And maybe 40 degrees on Saturday. The weather is just crazy.
This morning going back to feed the animals was an adventure. Our 1-ton dually 4x4 got stuck in the snow drifts. It was quite a morning at 5am. Luckily the DH was able to get the truck unstuck while I took care of the horses. It was a stressful morning thinking that we might have to walk almost a half mile back to the house in the freezing cold. Come on Spring!! Here is a nice springy image to get us through for awhile. These babies were born at our house several years ago.
We are in the final push at work to get everything done before the holiday. It is very slow going. It seems that no one seems to know what the right answer is on how to finish up these last few audit reports. I'm not sure what the problem is. I finally just made a command decision and decided to move forward. For some reason the people in my office just don't get super motivated until the afternoon. I get to work very early so I can leave early and it really bothers me when I have to wait on people who don't get their motor running until 2pm. Several of us were at our wits end today. Alot of people were very bitchy and biting each other heads off. The stress has finally gotten to us. I'm just hoping to be able to only work half a day on X-mas eve, so I can attend family functions. I'm pushing my boss to get things wrapped up, so we'll see.
On the quilting front, I purchased the yardage I need for my Happy Howlidays quilt for the sashing and borders. Hopefully it will arrive soon, so that I can work on getting the quilt together during the holiday weekend. I'll be able to get a bunch of piecing done without it. I think I'm going to also work on cutting up my scraps using Bonnie Hunter's system. It looks very cool and it is a good way to use up all the scraps I have. www.quiltville.com
