Good *god*, it's wild out there today. The past week has been a succession of almost-identical days -- grey, dampish, still, mild (well, mid-30s). But today there's a big cold front blowing in, with *massive* violent winds screaming down from the north, gusts up to 50-60 mph. It was very exciting walking across the open parking lot from my car into Target--I nearly got blown off my feet a couple of times--and I've seen several houses whose holiday decorations are strewn all over the front lawn.

A wonderful day, in other words, to hunker down with a blanket, and some of the excellent beef stew I made yesterday, and a chunk of homemade bread, and my Sekrit Santa story, which is stalled about three-quarters of the way through. Later I shall decorate the tree (and thank *god* I brought it home yesterday--this would not be a good day to be tooling down the freeway with an eight-foot balsam hanging out of the back of my Civic).

And I am having way too much fun putting Santa hats on icons. Must shut down Paintshop now, and open up the goddamned story. *sigh*

That is *so* bitchin'...you *know* he checks his list twice. Still better than Santa Timmy who would check it six times and still never be sure.Or Munchkin, Hanukkah present, who'd know just what sort of package to leave naughty little girls. ;)

I can think of a few kinder, gentler methods I'd rather Canada used to give us air. This one really isn't buddies.

That is a *brilliant* icon, and I adore it to pieces. I wish I had your mad Paintshop skilz!

Look! Look!

I figured it out earlier before I got your response. Sometimes I just need to stop a minute and thing. Guh!

I love my new Paintshop 8.0!! It is SO very different from everything up to then.

It's windy all the way down here in Texas today too, but fortunately, not cold. At least, not cold down in Houston. I actually went out today in short sleeves. It was windy, though.

Wishing you wind-proof windows and no cold drafts!

Squeee, Pembleton!!

You know, i didn't think I'd seen anything funnier than my CKR-in-a-Santa-hat icon, but Frank Pembleton in a Santa hat may just take the cake.

*dies*

Ho Ho Homicide! Great icon.

The winds of doom blew through my town on Saturday night. We went from mind to arctic in half an hour. My ears still haven't recovered.

No, do not give up the Paintshop! I think your Homicide icon is my favorite so far out of all that I've seen.

But then, story. *weighs and ponders* I don't envy you the choice.
