Sunless Sunday

Dear Amanda,

Okay, when it snows like crazy here in New England we get an inch and hour. A half inch is a dusting, from a flurry, not after it snows like crazy all night long. lol Yet another case of it's all relative....Today sucks here, though. It's not anything like yesterday. Instead it's been cold and rainy and clammy and in the 40s all day today. We'll be back in the 50s tomorrow, but I didn't see 60 anywhere in the 5 day forecast. The stops and starts of a New England spring.

Just got back from my mom's, which was good. She made turkey dinner (she kills me). Unsolicited I made a spinach salad with bacon and thin, thin, thin red onions and a warm vinaigrette. It all went. Unfortunately, my mom's tossed salad was untouched. I guess I probably should have called to tell her not to make a salad. Actually, I take that back. If I had told her I'd bring the salad she would have put up a fuss and said not to. And I wanted to. Anyway, that's the food. As far as the company and tone....tense at times as always. I'm just so over V's dirty looks and demeaning sighs. I can't stand it. But it was great to see the kids and L and J and just hang out on a day that was meant for hanging out....

Which is what I am doing now, on my own. I am not looking forward to tomorrow and revisiting the conversation my principal had with me (yeah, we didn't have a conversation, he came in and told me what he decided would happen with an NHS issue) at all. Anway, while hanging out I figure I may as well finish this bottle of wine that I started last night while watching Without Reservations before I call it a night. I actually may give you a call to get your take on this whole ridiculous issue...but if not...

I'm glad to hear you had a great Saturday. Hope today is good too.

Love, Barb
