Before my eyes were even open, the radio was talking to me….something about SNOW today.  Say what?

Ok, I know it’s January, and we’ve been spared snow thus far – but — (I’m whining!  I don’t want it).  So this was my happy thought all day today, as I waited for the snow to come.  One-day — this handsome fella will be as close to a snowman as I’m gonna get!

Hold on to your globes, he’s back!!  HA — that’s pretty perfect!  I’m so excited to allow myself to immerse in the complete and utter ridiculousness of the Golden Globes tonight!

I LOVE the red carpet!

I LOVE the dresses!

I LOVE the jewelry!

I LOVE Ricky Gervais!  OMG, it’s like a roast – inside of an award show – inside of a comedy club!  Bring it on Ricky!

I also LOVE the movies and the shows.   I hope Outlander wins!

So, bring it on.  I can’t wait.  Don’t call me tonight.  I’m busy.  D.o.i.n.g. – A.B.S.O.L.U.T.E.L.Y  N.O.T.H.I.N.G!

Erin is all moved in.  Her room-mate, Jo, is the same lovely young woman Erin roomed with in Ireland.  Such a lucky break for them both, as they begin their F&M college career and meet all their future friends.

Hoda Kotb wrote a new book.  I was reading about it today and the topic seems too close for comfort for me these day.  The book is called “Where We Belong”.  Interesting, you’re curious, right?  Me too.

Oooo-weee!  Winter has arrived!  It’s bitter cold out there and will be for the next few days.  What is this January?  One great thing is the sunshine that fills the sky!  Oh it’s so up-lifting.  Make my spirit soar.  I can almost {almost) smell the ocean 🙂

But, don’t let it fool ya, folks.  It may look pretty, but ….. wear your hats and mittens 🙂 #100happydays (52/100)
