HAPPY NASUS DAY
Posted: Mon Mar 15, 2010 7:56 amHERE I AM! Good Morning, everybody!
Today is March 15, the Ides, and the day I have called Nasus Day since I read Julius Caesar in the 6th grade with my mother. My best friend, Meredith, who died just a couple of years ago of a brain tumor, and I always took Nasus Day off from school and it's been a habit of mine ever since. Hence, I am home and slept in late! It's blustery today---windy and very heavy snow flurries, but very pretty now that I am awake...we have about 2 inches of new snow---maybe more. This is a personal day for me each year. Our personal days don't carry over like our sick days do, so I need to use them first.
I have a couple of phone calls I need to make today during regular business hours, and that's about it. I will also attempt to get out and un-snow my wood piles so I can build up my fire and have it tropical in here again! Molly will like that the muck is covered and might get to run a bit out there.
I haven't heard from my son and Melissa about the house they looked at yesterday, and that could mean it's good, or that could mean it's bad, or that could mean they just forgot how exciting the place looked online to me! Anyway, I am waiting to hear from them via email with some pics that I hope they took yesterday.
Here's hoping you all will have a decent day and that those winds and rains will finally move off the coast of New England. I heard one news broadcaster say this storm should have been named a hurricane as it did more damage than many older, named hurricanes, like Donna, and some others. My brother was high and dry on his hill, but many of his neighbors have trees and wires down in their yards and on their houses. It's been a wild and different winter, for sure.
Time for hot coffee, get dressed in snow-shoveling clothes, and bring in some more firewood. Happy Monday to us all. I plan to enjoy another Nasus Day with Molly!

It's also my grandson's 20th b'day! Now how did he get to be that old? Does that mean that I am 20 years older? ACK! 
Headed out to Glamis to play in the sand box today, be back Friday. Sun is coming up and it's supposed to be in the 70's and 80's there.....Oh happy day, warm weather at last! Altho the weather has been beautiful here for the past several days, with only one chilly day. Hope everyone has a great week!
