Word of the Day: Thundersnow

Simply put, thundersnow is when thunder and lightning occur during a snowstorm.

Here is a photo of what it looks like. I have never seen one myself and I am curious to get out right after sunset on Monday just to see a thundersnow.

Snowtober 2011 in Bedford

We have had some freaky weather this year.
Mark and I were in Bedford over the weekend of the historical Snowtober. And within a span of 48 hours, Bedford drastically changed from a bucolic country area into somewhat like a disaster area. Roads were impassable, small streams near-breaching causing some small floods, no power on Saturday and Sunday, all stores and restaurants closed because of the absence of power and heat, and a lot of trees were simply destroyed by the weight of the snow, rain and wind. The trees took over the roads so it was hard to navigate the area.
Power will be restored the midnight of November 2, 2011.

What's Keeping Deanna Out of the Blogsphere?

Merry Christmas from Mark and Deanna

May your days be filled with hope and love.

Gap Audition - Deanna's Solo Shots

Deanna's Inner Tiger Woods

I have always found golf to be the most boring sport ever created. Until I played mini-golf at midnight in the middle of the Mediterranean for 6 straight nights. I was hooked.

Deanna's New Toy from the Boy: Mamool

Towards the end of the summer, I felt that I could no longer go back to my old manual ways of carrying a datebook, writing appointments and placing them in my digital calendar. This was taking too much time and I was no longer productive. I was also beginning to take on more responsibilities both at KRLLC and my consulting project.

My habib sensed the growing frustration I had. One of his birthday gifts to me was an iPod Touch 4G. His name is Mamool (It means cookie in Arabic). It has always been by my side ever since. While Mamool does not carry the tons of music and videos everyone expects me to carry, I am proud to say I carry the most active calendar, most influential address book, most sensitive emails and photos of any user. I consider myself a newbie having to run to the Genius Bar ever so often when Mamool gets into a fit. I need to master the user's manual. Or I will just learn as I go.

My 2010 Thanksgiving Greeting

Wish List: Bullfight

Over the past few days, I remembered a video by Madonna that had bullfighters. Yes, that was the cheesy song "Take a Bow." It did have an easy to remember, simple message approach to it all and I hate to say it, I like the bullfighters.

Well, as Mark and I were going around Malaga, he pointed out to me that there is a "Plaza de Toros" and guess what, there are bullfights scheduled on my birthday in the nearby towns of Torremolinos and Merbella! Unfortunately, I will be bound for Sardegna as part of my Mediterranean cruise that day. Next time.
