Got to see my friend

[cornerofmadness]

I was afraid I might not with this weather. I am definitely going to try to weather the next storm front here and if I miss my meeting on friday I will not care. I'm not even feeling so well so...

I only get to see her a couple times a year and for the last several we've met at the mall. I don't mind. it's fun to wander and talk even though neither of us are really shoppers. She's doing well and we did have a good time. Mom sent me off with a dozen Macy's coupons. I couldn't use them on what I bought but who needed it. I found a heather grey wool bolero jacket that was 140$.I got it for 20$. I have a coworker who thinks I'm putting on airs because I shop Macy's. I'm like you get things at the 50-75% off racks. You get good clothes at Walmart prices.

She got me a gift card to the pyramid collection. Yay, fancy clothes. Her daughter was really shy again when she showed up but I think I know why in part. (other than the kid's natural shyness). When her brother was older, I used to go to the small townhouse and spend the day. He got to know me. Now that tiny townhouse isn't our meeting place. If I see her daughter more than twenty minutes a year it's a miracle. Ah well. It's always good to see them.

I'm glad you're weathering 'at home' rather than driving back to Ohio immediately.

Yay for Pyramid gift cards!

Even more yay for meeting your friend.

I'm just so afraid of losing power in that after what happened in 09.

thanks

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm worried about that, too, actually. Plus, Mom's got a doctor's appt on Tuesday.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

isn't your stove gas?

yeah might as well be there to help her

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Mine is. I'm at Mom's. Her's isn't.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah worse comes to worse you can light it with a BBQ Bic and stay relatively warm. I've got diddly

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

Oh, well, hopefully we won't have that problem.

The snow literally just started. With heavy winds.
