Oh, yes. I got my new refrigerator right before Thanksgiving. I took down all the fridgie magnets and put them in a box, hoping I could resist putting them back up, loving the look of my new bright white refrigerator, all clean and shiny.
Then I went to two museum exhibits, and, yes, I bought magnets — too many years of buying magnets at all museum exhibits and all major places I go — so do I put all the old ones up or just start with the new? It’s obvious I can’t stay fridgie-free.
The original idea was items of immediate interest against a blank field. What happens is it becomes a Sargasso Sea of undone tasks and long-expired shopping lists. The worst are the hurriedly scribbled phone numbers with one illegible number and no annotation.
Good but not solution, but not one I like, is to buy a stainless ‘steel’ fridge. The door of these fridges do not contain enough iron for a magnet to stick. Fortunately for us, the sides do have enough so we have one side we can use (and it is pretty full too).
A fine Sunday today. It stopped snowing earlier this afternoon but is still blowing a little. Total of 20cm of the 25 predicted and all dry flakes – no ice or wet snow.
Enjoy the day today – but if you are shoveling please take care and watch your back.

Pretty amazing that she managed to put everything back on the bulletin board almost exactly where it was before, huh?
She could’ve tried to organize the notes at least, but this is comic Cathy we’re talking about. Ha.
HI, MOM. Happy Sunday, Clan.

Clearly a genetic problem.
