Valentine's Day KnitOwl toys

I'm adding more Valentine's Day items to the shop.

We had a tornado come through the area a couple of nights ago. It hit Paris to the north of us. I was ready to grab Esme and head for the basement as the sound of the wind was enormously loud and scary and then there was a big THUNK against the side of the house. The top of a tree in the yard came off and hit the side of the house but luckily it didn't do any permanent damage.

It snowed some last night and there was ice everywhere this morning. They expect more ice storms today. We've been looking into finding another job for one or both of us. We've been told we will soon have to arrange to rent the house we are currently living in.

This morning I drove an hour to have a planned interview only to find the boss out on an all-day service call. That was really frustrating. We tried to reach him several times that morning because of the ice storm coming. Finally we left Esme with her grandparents so as not to take her out on the road in the bad weather and high-tailed it there (and got there on time!) only to find him gone.

Glad you are ok! It is rude of people to make appointments then not keep them but it is good to hear that the tornado missed you and you are safe despite it.

Tornados are so scary! I'm sorry the interview didn't work out. I hope it gets rescheduled!

Yikes! Isn't it a little early for tornados?! Good luck on the job hunt...

Wow tornado and snow in the same week. Glad to hear that you guys are safe.

I would be a bit miffed about the interview. If the guy couldn't keep the appointment he should have called.

Good luck on the job hunt - I know what that's like (husband is still without a job).

I, too, would be irritated with the interview guy. Come on, you couldn't have called? He's already not doing well.
