Stepping Out over the Snow

 

This morning it was very snowy, so Travalon and I walked around the house with our stuffies. Here is the Irish bear family.

And here is Travalon's Elvis Beanie Baby with his miniature Beatles guitar.

I watered my neighbor's plants, and her Christmas cactus is covered in blooms.

My Christmas cacti aren't in bloom, and in fact they look really bad. I'd ask what her secret is, but the same person is taking care of both sets of plants. Her plants are in a very cold apartment with the shades drawn, so why are they so happy??

Travalon watched Crystal Palace, but they lost. Jerry the Kraken doesn't look that upset about it, unless he hides it really well.

It's that time on the Famous Hat Blog: time for some DuoLingo bragging!

This makes me nostalgic for the music course, where this Oscar character would throw roses if you performed the piece well.

We did go for a walk outside, and it wasn't too cold, but now the temperature is supposed to drop. In the evening Travalon dropped me off at an early music concert, but I had nobody to talk to during the intermission because Tiffy couldn't come to town with the bad weather, and my bandmate who usually goes to these concerts just forgot about it. The music alternated between madrigals and Marin Marais pieces for viols. Meanwhile, Travalon went to Leopold's, then on the way home we decided to stop at the North Side Lounge. I like the lights decorating the place.

I should have taken another shot from the inside to compare and contrast. I had a beautiful lavender drink.

That is my hat admiring it. It tasted like lavender for sure but was so potent that I am still buzzed way over an hour later. I can see why people like to hang out in bars, because we had great conversations with the people sitting beside us, and another group that came in after dinner at the Madison Club. I have never been to the Madison Club, since you have to be invited by a member to go, and you have to be rich to be a member. Tiffy's brother-in-law is a member, so she has been. These people said it wasn't all that, and also that their friend who was hopped up on cocaine and a few drinks was at a Level Twelve, which didn't go over too well at such a stuffy place. (He wasn't with them at the North Side Lounge - that might have been entertaining.) The place was pretty quiet when we got there, but it was full by the time we left. It was so much fun to get out after our morning stuck at home. When we left, it was snowing a little again. It must be making up for all the lack of snow we've had so far this winter.
