The Weather Outside is Frightful

No, not snow. Thunderstorms. My arch-nemesis-es. *cowers*

Christmas shopping is mostly done. Stuff for Angel Tree kids is bought and packed to be dropped off tomorrow. One Amazon package arrived with an item missing, boo. E-mail sent to customer service.

Next on the to-do list: wrapping. Lots and lots of wrapping.

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like

It snowed a little around lunchtime today.

It's damn cold out.

I can't believe it's December already.

My living room is full of boxes of Christmas decorations.

I placed an Amazon order this morning.

I turn 40 this month.

Isn't It Ironic

In the midst of celebrating "Green Week" on all its networks, NBC/Universal laid off the entire environmental unit at The Weather Channel, which the humongous media conglomerate acquired recently.

Practice, preach: words to live by.

Also let go were on-camera meterologists Cheryl Lemke, Dave Schwartz, and Eboni Deon. I'm a Weather Nerd, so I know most of the on-air people at TWC, but I don't remember Eboni, which isn't much of a recommendation. I liked Cheryl. But I COULD NOT STAND DAVE SCHWARTZ. I'm sorry he's jobless, but MAN am I glad to see him go.

(Weather.com still has up the bios for the three. That's cold, man.)
