Snow and the Oscars

 Happy Snow Day from the Blizzard State, formerly known as Arkansas! Yes, another snow/panic day from central Arkansas. Schools were closed yesterday, but hubby and I braved the dry roads with a few slick spots to get to work. Hubby dropped me off because it is cold and I am wimpy and he loves me dearly and hates for me to be cold. Yes, the car was toasty warm and windows scraped before I entered the car. I am spoiled, I know it and I damn well appreciate it. Well, as predicted by local weather god, Todd Yakoubian, snowmaggedon started at about 11:15. Hubby texted and collected me by 12:00. I was the first one to leave the office, but I am very glad I did. We slid and spun all the way down Markham until we finally made it to our homestead. It was a bit touch n go as we kept spinning and could not go anywhere. There was an 18 wheeler behind us which made it even more exciting. We escaped death this afternoon. Okay, maybe I exaggerate, but still, it was scary. They closed the office about 1:00 when it was truly a blizzard so I now get paid for my early exit. Yippee! I am now sitting in the comfort of my home, under a blanket, filling out FAFSA forms for my soon to be college child. Exciting stuff, but glad to finally have it done.
 Did you watch the Oscar's last night? We did. I decided to do a running fashion commentary and had quite a few join in and it was awesome. My favorite of the night had to be this:

This stunner is a Calvin Klein original. Made of 6,000 pearls. Wow! I love all things pearl. Earring, necklaces (all kinds), bracelets and now this dress. Gorgeous! And it can be mine for a mere $150,000. What a steal! There were many fashion don'ts last night. What is up with non-Oscar hair? You have this beautiful evening dress and then you have some shaggy hairstyle? 

This is just all wrong. The dress, the hair and what is up with the pockets. Poor dear. Fire your stylist now. Right now. Patricia Arquette was a mess yesterday. She looked like she just woke up from a nap and started drinking and never stopped. I thought Melanie Griffith and her daughter, Dakota Johnson, were going to scrap right there on the red carpet. Seriously, go see the damn movie, mom. Support your kid. Even if she is tied up on four posters. Love and support the kids. It's our job as parents. Don't make them beg. There were many things right at the Oscars. Anna Kendrick: beautiful, Julianne Moore: breathtaking, Magic Mike, I mean, Channing Tatum: hot. The best of the night was Lady Gaga performing selections from the Sound of Music. I will admit, I was nervous and had remote in hand ready to change. I love the Sound of Music. I have seen it no less than 100 times and was not wanting it butchered. If you missed, go youtube it. It brought tears to my eyes and goose bumps on the skin. I knew she could sing, but wow. Amazing. I was in awe and then when Julie Andrews came out???? I lost it. She is the epitome of elegance. There is none like her. Sigh...made my night. Again, I would like to thank all who participated in the Oscar commentaries with me. It was loads of fun and I had lots of giggles. 

 Well, the warm snuggles of my hubby is calling me, so I bid adieu, to you and you and you. Stay warm and be careful out there!

Hugs!
