Could not decide on a title so there it is. Just the way my brain is wired I guess.
It is snowing here at a rate of one inch an hour. It is blowing. I think I have heard thunder or maybe that is the plows I hear. I love the look of snow and I don't even mind driving in it. I am glad that people are staying off the road and being safe. I believe there will be enough to last for Christmas. The season is so short this year. I love listening to Christmas music and singing carols. It is just so much fun.
I just want to say that you can really tell that I have adult ADD because I am all over the place with this blog but that how I am. So I accept that about me. Hope you enjoy my moving from subject to subject. Great night to just write a blog.
We had our office party last night. Thank God it wasn't tonight. We had such fun. The tradition is a Yankee swap. We then sang the 12 days of Real Estate thanks to Sue Eller http://activerain.com/blogsview/841381/12-Days-of-Christmas-in-Real-Estate-sung-to-12-days-of-christmas This was most definitely the hit of the night. Everyone said it just made the night and we had such fun sining. Thank you Sue Eller.
I have spent half the day trying to find a particular snowblower that only Lowes had and now none are left. Wish we had gotten on this sooner.
I did find one similar at Sears and the only Sears that had it was in Natick. It is a Christmas gift for our son. He could really use one and we wanted it by Christmas. We just should have started long before this to shop for it.
Yesterday I found myself at the Wrentham Mall trying to find the most popular Ugg boots there are at their outlet. Imagine my surprise to find there didn't have any left. It seems that people start shopping for them in August when I am not thinking at all about Christmas shopping in the least. That Ugg stock has to be doing well. They had 4 security guards and roped off area where the kept the boots everyone wanted, except they did not have any in size 5 and wouldn't be getting any either. So home I came and got on the phone to do the search.
I really don't like the malls and especially the Natick Collection. It is not the malls it is Route 9 and the parking. I just don't seem to have the patience for it. My idea of shopping is running in and getting what I want and running out. I am unusual because I know most women like to shop but not me. Luxury would be a personal shopper. Fortunately, for me I found the only store that still had Ugg Tall boots in chocolate brown in a size 5. Yipppeee! The Ugg stock must be doing well because they are in such demand.
Needham is full of traffic and no where to park. The restaurants and shops are packed. Must be the terrible economy. There is a new restaurant in town Petit Robert Bistro http://www.petitrobertbistro.com/ http://www.opentable.com/rest_profile.aspx?rid=26614 and I think lots of people are trying that one out plus all the others. There are some great restaurants in town. So many to pick from. Parking is a premium. So I had some errands to do in Dedham and grocery shopped there well that was wild too.

Petit Robert Bistro, Chapel Street, Needham, MA - next block to my office. There is an white light trimmed Eiffel Tower out front.
I have been so busy this month that I haven't time to shop like other years. That is a good thing. I had a accepted offer for some buyers buying their first home and we hope to have them in by the end of December if at all possible. They are going to take a picture of the house and put it under their Christmas tree.
It reminds me of the year I really needed an air conditioner. Up until that summer we didn't even use an air conditioner. Our overhead fans did the trick. That year it was record hot and I was record hot too. Well we went up and down the eastern seaboard and finally found one for double the price it would normally be.
