'Twas a Cold and Blustery Day...

So I got a phone call at 6am. It was dark and all I heard was this buzzing and I grabbed my phone and mumbled, " 'Lo?"

In my ear was the DU automated recording telling me that due to expected snowfall today, school was canceled. Super I thought, thanked the machine and hung up. Then I proceeded to toss and turn and I just had, had, had to get up and see this snow.

So I did. And there was nothing - on the ground or falling from the sky.

Still, I was awake. At 6am. So I got up, made breakfast, dabbled with nothing and eventually, fell back asleep. I woke up again at 9am and - WOOHOO - snow was falling! And it continued to fall.

At one point, it was so insane, I just had to go outside and take a video. I had never seen anything like it before. Then I turned on the news and -wowza - we're under a blizzard warning.

Absolutely insane.

And that's my news for today. We're on blizzard watch (I think we can stop watching - it's definitely here), school was canceled, and I spent the day in my PJ's scrapbooking and watching really cool stuff like this...

It's Official...

I. Am. In. Love.

With the Denver Library.

Did you know that this library is offering FREE e-book downloads? I'm talking about REAL e-books. The kind you would pay for on sites like mybookstoreandmore.com (great site!) and it completely saves a trip to the Library itself.

Amazing! With just a few mouse clicks, I can be browsing hundreds of books that with just another click will be downloaded onto my computer for my enjoyment.

Now, before you go about getting anything in a painful wad, the download is only temporary (21 days - just like if you'd done a traditional checkout), and you can't save the book (well, I am sure there's some way to do it :::as there is with everything:::) but I am just so in love with the features, I'm happy just as things are.

Ahhh, ain't love grand?

The Glory of Washington Park

This is Washington Park - one of my favorite places here in Denver.

Of course, we are in the middle of winter so the trees aren't quite so green...and the flowers are, well, they're in hiding until Spring but Washington Park is gorgeous in any color - even white.

This message is a mobile blogging test - but I thought I'd dress it up with a pretty picture.

In a Library mood

Last night I realized something: I have been in Denver for almost six months and I have absolutely no idea where the local library is.

Of course, I had to rectify that so I immediately hopped online and found one a little less than a mile away.

Perfect!

So this afternoon, I headed on out and discovered our little hidden gem - sitting almost indistinguishable from the neighborhood houses.

It's not the biggest place and their romance section didn't even cover one entire shelf...but I did find these authors so I'm happy.


Besides, if I require anything else, I can just order it in from a bigger branch.

There was one particular book I was looking for but they didn't have it or anything else by the author.

I'd read the first one in the series, Seducing His Wife, awhile back and immediately wanted to find the next one but haven't had any luck. So I went onto Amazon and ordered it for $4.00. This is winging it's way to my mailbox right now.


I'm a happy girl!
