The quiet before the storm

We've been waiting all day for the rain and cold weather to arrive in Houston, which happened about an hour ago. We did have a record high temperature on Christmas day. It will be nice to have a cooler New Year.

While waiting for the weather to change, I (partially) watched the Texans game. I understand that the Tennessee Titans are a lousy team, but it's always exciting when the Texans win, regardless of the squad they're playing.

Today I'm celebrating my serger. I bought the damn machine at least 18 months ago and it's still in the box. I was ready to read the booklet on how to use the machine until a friend scared me away from that approach. As a Christmas gift, Mr. B is paying for lessons on how to use the serger. I'm looking forward to creating new items with my fabulous toy.
