What are you listening to?

I love to take pictures of shadows on snow. At least that amuses me with all this white stuff on the ground! You have to look for the beauty in nature when you're really just not liking Mother Nature much at the moment.

Now Mother Nature I've given you a compliment. Be a doll and cancel the snow on Sunday and Monday would you? ;oP

1. Were the roads clear I would be perfectly content to sit here at home, since in reality I'm a homebody, but now that they are not clear and they are asking us to stay off the roads at all costs, my defiant side has cabin fever and wants to GO OUT NOW!

2. Being cooped up inside doesn't seem to bother the tea cup, nor the big kid (aka my husband) at all. They do however have problems playing Wii together without arguing. It's as if I have two children!

3. Laundry is never really done, since you're wearing clothes as you think you've finished up.

4. This is the same with dishes, because there is always the next meal to make.

5. I've discovered that I can not stand to hear people chew. This little gem has really become obvious in the past 24 hours.

6. Shoveling this much snow, while good exercise, is a complete pain the ass quite literally. Along with being a pain in your back, thighs, arms, shoulders...Well you get the picture!

7. Having all this free time on my hands I would have thought to enjoy. Not so much.

8. Alexis is really a smart, heartfelt child. (See not all of these are just bitching! ;oP) Not that I didn't know that already, but it has become more apparent over the past few days.

9. Snow cream isn't as much fun when you're the only one eating it. Jamison says he doesn't like it and Alexis won't try it. *sigh*

10. The sun while lovely, does not make 50+ inches of snow go away that fast. Melt baby! Melt!

Now I've got to figure out what I want him to print for me! ;oP

We're supposed to hit a balmy 33 degrees today! Melt snow, melt! We ended up with an additional 25 inches of snow with this storm for a total of 53 since Friday. More snow is forecast for Sunday night in to Monday. And there is buzz about an ice storm in 10 days.

*Head.

On.

Desk!*

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a few days to figure out how to become independently wealthy so I can hop the next plane to Hawaii before this stuff hits again! ;oP

10 Essentials for Making it Through Another Major Snow Storm:

1. A couple of bottles of wine (at least) and some lemon vodka.

2. Nutella. (Why had I never tried this stuff before last week?)

3. Bacon

4. Strawberry Häagen-Dazs

5. Gala apples

6. Lands End snow boots

7. Plenty of green tea

8. The Wii to keep the tea cup occupied since she can't play in snow that is almost taller than she is!

9. Netflix Movies, not to mention their Watch on Demand option!

10. And a bag full of new books!

That should keep me tied over for possibly 20 more inches of snow on top of the 28.25 inches we already have on the ground. Right? Right? But they are saying more snow on Monday? Really? Surely that can't be right. I'll just sit here in denial until I actually see more snow fall from the sky! ;oP

So what would be on your list?

Cross posted at Dianne's Dishes.

We had a little storm this weekend. Not much snow mind you, just around 28.25 inches. But that's not the kicker! The kicker is that we are supposed to get additional snow tomorrow in to Wednesday. How much snow? Depending on who you listen to anywhere from 8 to 16 additional inches of snow.

That's a lot of snow Bob!

Don't get me wrong I love snow, but when you've got this much snow there isn't much you can do with it. You can't really play in it, unless you like being sunk in to snow and basically once it starts drifting around you've got snow taller than your child.

Oh well. At least it's pretty. And the icicles are always fun to look at.

Sparkle on little icicles. Sparkle on!
