The personal blog of a girl named Alexa
Tonight is so exciting! The end of a year and the end of a decade! And tomorrow starts a great New Year – full of possibilities and promise. I can’t wait for the clock to strike midnight and start our 2011 new adventure. I am looking forward to lots of good times with friends and family.
Happy New Year, Everybody!
We have a white Christmas! Everything is covered with perhaps an inch of beautiful snow. How exciting!
My dogs think it is very strange and since they do not like wet feet, they don’t want to be out in the snow much at all. I can’t say that I blame them about being outside, cold and wet. I think we will enjoy the snow from our living room windows and have a nice Christmas day at home relaxing.
Merry Christmas!
The weather forecast for this weekend is for snow on both Saturday and Sunday, possibly starting as early as Friday night! That means a white Christmas for Tennessee! The news channel that I watch says that we have only enjoyed a measurable snow on Christmas 9 times in over 100 years of record keeping. I had not realized that until now. So this year will be very special!
Movie lines always stick me with long after the movie ends. Sometimes I remember a couple of key lines better than the names of the actors and actresses.
I watched Under the Tuscan Sun last night. It was absolutely intriguing to follow the main character through her healing process or rebirth by moving to Italy on a whim. One of the lines that I really like follows the main character’s discovery that a man who was blatantly flirting with her is married. Her friend reassures her, “Flirting is a ritual in Italy. Just enjoy it.”
We had snow showers today. I’m not sure how you define “snow showers” versus “it snowed.” There was nothing on the ground or the roads – it just blew around and fell as big wet flakes for hours and hours. I liked it, especially since I did not have to go anywhere all day and was not worried about bad roads.
