It's Friday . . .

The snowstorm predicted for last night has turned out to be a bit of a doozy - snow, then changing over to a nasty brew of sleet and rain before it all ended early this morning. Consequently, as I look out of the window as the sun glares down, I'm seeing a layer of perhaps 1 1/2“ snow covering the front yard, where the grass is poking up through the snow. And the ice is already melting off the tree. Ah, well, it's early yet in the season for a nice snowfall enough to make a snowman and hubby to threaten to shove the snowball down my back when I'm not looking. I do love watching the newbie reporter standing outside with a yardstick shouting into the microphone while the SUVs are hydroplaning just inches away on the busy road.

It's slow going on the Nordie pullover, just 1 1/2 inches more to go before i start the pattern; I expect I'll get the pattern started later tonite.

Meanwhile, while browsing the web, I came across this new product, IntelliScanner™ Kitchen Companion. This is just what I needed . . . a way to keep track of the grocery items in my kitchen and be able to tell when I'm running out of tomato sauce, and being able to generate a grocery shopping list that I can either print out or download to my Palm PDA. Even better, I can get a Bluetooth scanner that I can carry around without having to hook up the USB cable to my laptop. And, I apparently can get a smart plastic card that I can carry around in my wallet and just swipe over the items as I drop these into my shopping basket. Now to scrape up enough $$$ to get this . . .
