the blizzard continues

i am trapped inside because it is snowing. i meant to be running right now and when i saw it start to snow a couple of hours ago i thought, well i'll just wait until it dies down and then go out. but i think the snow had a blizzard in mind and dying down does not seem to be in progress. i just checked the weather report and the news is grim. snow snow snow. which i love except when i've procrastinated leaving the house for way too long like i have today.

so i am trying to do some online christmas shopping. i've never really bought much online before but this is, oh you know, about 8 years into the new millennium so maybe it's time for me to catch on. but i really don't even know how to get started. i've been looking at jewelry and there are these super cute earrings at www.greenergrassdesign.com by anne black. i think they would make a great gift for a certain someone - except that the dimensions are not listed. they could either be the perfect little drop earring size or else they could hang down to the shoulders. and wobble to and fro. i'm not ready to risk it. if anyone knows the perfect place to buy affordable, non-supersized earrings, please advise me.

ok...i need to buck up and go out there. the blizzard continues. so i think i might go run on the treadmill in the gym in the fortress that is my work basement. i always worry a teeny bit when i run there because i feel it would be a great set for a horror movie. not to insult my work but it's like a maze down there with locks and doors and passageways. brad tells me this is exactly why i do not need to worry about running there - even if someone wanted to make me horror movie prey there's no way they could ever find me. but all the same i think i'll call someone to say where i'll be...just in case.
