I have spent the last couple of days snuggled into my little home, only venturing out to go next door to take some bananas to my mom and to clean the snow off of my car and make sure that it would start.
My mom has a cafeteria in her building so she has a steady supply of meals.
Yesterday I hooked up the new echo dot I got for Christmas and I am currently listening to some tunes I added to my Amazon Prime account. How decadent to be able to sit here and say Alexa play me some Moody Blues. Oh wait, I think I want to listen to the Beatles now Alexa.
If anyone had told me 50 years ago as I sat listening to these same songs on my scratchy records that one day I would be able to tell a little round box to play them for me I would never have believed it.
I could get used to this laziness, but I need to mop my kitchen floor and clean the bathroom. Unfortunately Alexa doesn't seem to want to do that for me.
I guess it's a good thing since I gained four pounds over the holidays. I've walked in the mall a couple of times over the last week, but the roads are too bad right now to go over there. (at least it makes for a good excuse)
While I wait for the warm up over the next few days I am going to continue to enjoy being snuggled in. Britbox has a new season of Vera on.
Have you ever watched Vera? She is an older female British detective who is the boss and doesn't care how she looks. I think I will be her in my next life.
Hope everyone stays warm and safe and that you are able to snuggle in too.
Laura, I am waiting for the dusting, vacuuming Alexa. :):) So nice that you are living near your mom. I am shocked at the snowy weather that has traveled all the way down to the gulf. Glad you are stay safely inside. Blessings, enjoy the music. xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteI want the dusting vacuuming Alexa too. :)
DeleteI have not seen Vera but I'm sure I would love it. We haven't found any new series that we like. Hope you have the music cranked up while you clean. It makes it go faster if you sing along. And probably burns more calories! lol Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteI do sing along. My neighbors probably really do think I am a young whipper snapper now LOL
DeleteI've stayed snuggled up in my home also. Icy roads are scary. I've been resting and reading in anticipation of tomorrow's surgery. I'm a bit nervous to be honest. Onward I say and it will be OK I tell myself. Just hope it warms up.
ReplyDeleteI need to get over to your blog right now. I didn't know that you are having surgery. Sending prayers.
DeleteStaying snuggled up sounds wonderful. I am waiting for the version of Alexa to come out that will mop the floors and clean the bathrooms lol!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Kris
I love the days I can snuggle into my little house and tell Alexa to play a little Chet Baker! Unfortunately they seem to be too few....sigh. Enjoy your peace, Laura!
ReplyDeleteIt's wild winter down here in Georgia too! CRAZY... icy roads, yesterday our town was CLOSED -literally a curfew that didnt end til 10am today! Stay safe, cuddled and warm. I'm waiting on the the warm up :)
ReplyDeleteOh- I have to look up the Vera series. I have not heard of that one. I don't have Alexa but my daughter does and she loves it. Hope you have a great weekend- snow and all---xo Diana
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty there.It's cold here but no snow thank Goodness. That's funny about the Echo Dot.. never heard of that one.. can't keep up with all of Amazon's new things... I'm still trying to get Alexa to answer me.. she doesn't seem to know answers to any of the questions I ask her! Take care and stay snuggled in as long as you want. Marilyn
ReplyDeleteI'm behind the times. I don't have Alexa and never heard of the Echo Dot. I'm still trying to figure how some things on my iPhone! lol! Take care and have a nice weekend. xx Cheryl
