It's New England. What did we expect

I'm as happy as anyone talking about the weather so I haven't shut up for three days. It seemed that we didn't have any weather for three weeks but only the foolish would think that Spring was going to arrive early. My feeling is that it was all being held back for a delivery with bigger impact. Why would we care if the wind was blowing at 10 mph for several days? Collect 6 or so days of that and clump them together you can make the wind blow 60 or 70 mph for a day or so. Much more impressive.
I fell asleep Thursday night with the sound of the Montreal Express roaring through my head and awoke with the sound of the generator having come on. While I'm very grateful for an automatic generator I'm unable to sleep while it's running. My heart and blood pressure seem to want to match it's frantic pace and I just keep telling myself that "it's saving the house, it's saving the house". Suddenly, the power came back on and I felt that I'd dodged a bullet only to be powerless a few minutes later.
In spite of a sleepless night it was a relief to go to work in the morning. We all shared our war stories while yawning and were all grateful to be going home to power of some sort. I was still on generator power until Friday evening. Less than 24 hours this year compared to three days last year.
Wednesday, before all this started, I was signed up to take a Zentangle class at Wingdoodle in Warner. I had taken the day off and was looking forward to doing something creative. Life had other plans as the class was cancelled. I went to Wingdoodle anyhow and bought the Zentangle kit and decided to home school myself. I've done a couple and am fascinated by the process and will be sharing more about this as I get on with it. I will be taking an advanced class in March so must keep practicing.

I found myself and Amanda found me and next I'll see if Trish can find me and I'm ready to roll.
Until I created this blog everything I knew about blogging I learned from "Julie and Julia" and "Ugly Betty". "Julie and Julia" showed how it can change your life sort of the way that winning the lottery could and "Ugly Betty" showed how it can come around and bite you in the butt. I'll be aiming for the lottery type life change.
I'll be writing about what I'm reading, listening to, watching, and what I find interesting and/or funny about the activities we call daily living. My goal is to find something to make me laugh everyday and share it.
I suppose the first laugh I can share with you is that I was trying to set this blog up last night and not having any luck finding it on the internet. I had composed a whole blog and pressed the wrong button and lost the whole thing. Learning from failure is quite effective.
My subject last night was micro greens. I've seen them on the Food Network where they get heaped on top of a chef's creation making the whole pile look totally precious. I thought the whole thing was quite pretentious, especially when I saw that a small baggie cost $4.99 at the local Winter Market. I did some research on the internet about these tiny leaves and found the idea of eating the first sprouting leaves of all kinds of vegetables to be an interesting one. I bought a bag the next week and I am a convert. They are delicious and a little goes a long way. They are the food equivalent of down in that they rapidly expand when removed from confinement. So far I've used them as a replacement for lettuce in sandwiches making sure to anchor them in the mayo. I am also looking into a grow light and seeds to grow my own. Sowing to harvest is 10 to 15 days and I think scissors are used for picking, as it were.
I'm going to close now as I'm quite curious to see how I look in print.

my first laugh will be trying to find myself on the internet.
