Let’s play Keep Away!

Stay away, Snow.  Do not come to my town.  No snow days, please.

We already have to make up a full week from the wind damage of Ike back in September.  Now they’re calling for a major winter storm to dump a ton of snow on us starting tomorrow evening and continueing Tuesday and Wednesday.  I hope not.  Snow, snow, go away….  Patty doesn’t want to play….

I woke up early because I can’t breathe and my throat is dry and scratchy.  Everyone else is still asleep.  Except crazy cat who’s lying across the heating vent on the floor.  He loves to lie on the vents with the heat blasting away.  I used to do that as a kid.  I remember standing over the vents in the winter with my dress billowing up around me like Marilyn Monroe.

Stayed up late watching movies and What Not to Wear.  I really enjoyed Appaloosa.  Yeah, so true to life.  The way some men will put up with a seductive woman.  I like Ed Harris, anyway.  Also watched Hancock, which had its moments.  I like Will Smith but this wasn’t one of his finest moments.

I’m thinking about this damn storm.  I have lots of meat and canned goods.  Plenty of milk (which I freeze when I catch it on sale).  No fresh fruit or veggies.  I guess I should pick some up today.  Guess I’ll look through the paper and see what’s on sale.

10:30 - Dammit!  Went through the ads and decided to go to the store.  Walked outside and someone picked up a large decorative rock from my flower bed and threw it through my car window.  Called the police and made a report.  The really strange part is that it wasn’t broken when I went out to get the paper.  No way I wouldn’t have seen it.  It happened sometime between 7:00 and 9:30 am.  I got the paper at 7:00 and it was fine and the sun was up by 7:30.  The insurance company set us up an appointment to get if fixed on Tuesday and I’m hoping it doesn’t snow.  The part that’s a real pain in the butt is that the insurance will cover it but we had to clean up all the broken glass (and that stuff goes everywhere) and put plastic over the window and duct tape it in 16 degree weather. 

This used to be such a nice neighborhood…

So sorry to hear about your window. It’s such a pain to deal w/that stuff, especially when you’re not feeling well.

Have fun at the store. I don’t know what things are like in your area but whenever they’re predicting a storm around here EVERYONE goes to the store to stock up. You’d think this was the 1800’s when you would be snowed in for 2 weeks instead of 1 day. Geez.

Hope you’re feeling better soon.

I did not know that you could freeze milk. Can you freeze soy milk as well?
