I was so excited to put my glasses on when I got home Friday. To my dismay, as soon as I put those suckers on it was like I was in a "fun house" looking into one of those crazy distorted mirrors. D-arn it! I tried so hard to make it work. Like seriously. I was determined. I ended up having to take them back to the eye wear place. I thought maybe they put the lenses in all weird or something... but "they" say it's just my perscription in those large frames. So sad. They are trying to get me to buy one of their frames & then cut the big lenses down. Sooo so sad. I wanted them. Sucky.
We've been having such a cold world here in the last 3 days!!! It snowed & snowed & now it's just freezing. I like it. I don't mind the cold, because we have been having clear skies. Which is so unusual for us (usually gloomy dark days hover above us all winter). The weather this cold is just unusual period. It was so cold, Friday night when we got home our water line froze. Because SOMEONE said it would never happen & not to leave the water running in our house. Turns out that YES, it does happen & we have to keep the tap running so it doesn't EVER happen again. I had to shower in the main marina shower & it was terrible. Not to mention going there to use the bathroom. Living with 2 little girls means lot's of trips to the bathroom. Thankfully when I got home last night, they thawed out our line & we had lovely hot water. I love hot water. Living on the floating home, has made me appreciate so many things that you just just take for granted when living on land.
Last night & the night before there was a Christmas Cruise, that the marina next to us have every year to raise money for a local charity. There was about 35 boats all decorated to the max with lights & santa's galore! It was mighty chilly so we didn't get a chance to see them all, but they were puttering by our marina & then turning around heading back to their marina and then out again! Last night they were moving pretty fast (probably because it was so chilly!) Sadly none of my pictures really turned out.
Tomorrow is the infamous Christmas Party at our marina (drunken debauchery) , but we can't make it. I heard that it is hilarios & super funny with all the drunk old timers. We're headed to a potluck party at my youngest daughters contortion school. I'm so nervous. I hate potlucks. I'm nervous that people won't like what I bring. I better go look up some recipes!!! Anyone know of any good dishes???
i know it is frick'n freezing but very dry which i prefer too! Hope you can figure out your glasses dilemma they look very lovely.
ReplyDeleteOooo, who told you about the water lines? I remember we talked about the only danger for your house boat (knock on wood) was water line freezing and busting then sinking you. but that cant happen to you because of your big fluffy pontoons, cant fill those with water. but what a pain in the butt. We feel your pain of course being stuck in our boat still up on land. Didn't get finished before the freeze. So public facilities for us too. And our water lines did freeze too :(
ReplyDeleteWe did go on someone else's boat in our Christmas parade. FUN!
