And all that. Really a dull weekend. Saturday we went to the hobby shop as always, Michaels to exchange glass for a frame (it didn't fit; they only sell 11x14 and 8x10 replacement glass and the frame is 10x13; 10x13 is hard to find inexpensively—far as I know, only Wally World sells it), Cost Plus to get James a Valentine gift. Had lunch at Spaghetti Warehouse because we had a two-fer coupon. Reading Mr. Monk and the Blue Flu, which starts off promisingly. Goldberg has Stottlemeyer/Disher down pat, especially with their dialog. Of course he has written for the series, too.

Michaels had scraps of leftover Christmas stuff, including keychains with stuffed blue mittens with snowflakes embroidered on them and stuffed snowflakes either in blue or white with embellishment in the opposite color for ten cents each. I got two blue mittens and two white snowflakes to put in the foyer.

Sunday we went to Wally World and Costco and stocked up (also got the 10x13 frame and I bought an el-cheapo blue scarf for the stuffed snowman on the porch). Hit Books-a-Million to see if they carry a new rocketry magazine called "Launch." (No luck there or in Borders/Barnes & Noble, which we stopped at yesterday.)

It was 37°F and raining all day yesterday, miserable and chill. I'd rather have snow, thank you very much. It doesn't creep into your bones and your heart.

Positives: finished a cross-stitch as a gift. Bought Pidgie fresh seed and Willow a new supply of "dog cookies," including Christmas cookies at 75 percent off. Watched more Get Smart! (now through "The Wax Max"). Also I finished Who's Sorry Now?, which I talk about in more detail in Cozy Nook. Positive because I made it through the damn thing.

Back to the office for today and tomorrow. Wheee...
