More snow – but get a life!

When I hear about all the snow and the storm that is (has) hit the East Coast, I realize how lucky we are here in New Mexico. However, we’ve had snow for 2 weeks, and more is expected this week.

Our local Chamber of Commerce is having its annual banquet Tuesday night at the ENMU Campus Union Bldg. and our speaker is Baxter Black. If you’ve never heard his speak, you’ve missed out on some great stories, lots of laughter and good times. We had hoped for 400 people, but we’ve only sold about 200+ tickets. I think people are hesitant to get out in the snow.

Then on Wednesday, I am on the hostess committee for our local Woman’s Club, and of course, we are using a Valentine’s Day theme. It’ll be fun.

Do you have any luck selling things on ebay? I sure haven’t. Maybe I need to take a class in listing items and writing good descriptions because I never seem to get bids, nor sell the items. I’m getting ready to list some jewelry (which I’ve never tried to sell before) and I’ll see if I do better with that. Currently I’m trying to sell a Wii exercise program and that’s not going well. I’ve re-listed it 3 times. Any offers from anyone? ha

It’s snowing – I can’t believe it!

It’s Thursday, and as I’ve done for the past 34 years, my plans were to tape with two very interesting guests for “Creative Living.”  Well, guess what — it has already snowed 3 inches — and for New Mexico, that’s a lot of snow.

Since I didn’t finish this “blog” I’m picking up now.  It has snowed at least 6 inches and the University (where I work) officially closed today.  But, several brave souls – including me — braved the snow and actually came to work for my taping.  None of our regular camera operators, who are students at the University, were here (obviously) so our chief digital engineer ran one camera, a graduate student ran Camera #2 and our Director of Production ran camera #3.

In spite of all of the snow, both guests finally got here, unloaded all of their props and we taped 4 great segments which will air sometime during the coming year.

My guests were Eleisha Ensin with TexaSweet Citrus Marketing in Mission, Texas and Lauren Ferguson, a crafter, from Atlanta.  Both were astonished at all the snow but were very good sports about having to be out in it.  We joked and said that someday they can brag and say, “I remember the time I had to walk through 6 feet (well, that’s close to 6 inches) of snow just to tape some segments for “Creative Living.”  And, who will know the difference?

Well, I’m home for the rest of the day and probably for tomorrow, too.  Stay warm!
