Baby, It's Cold Outside!

Our area of the country is digging out today from one of the biggest blizzards in recent years. The snowblowers on our street have been running nonstop (I can still here a few out in the distance).

The blizzard practically buried parts of Harrison St. Three of our neighbors had snowdrifts to the middle of their garage doors that spread to the middle of their driveway. We were lucky only a very small drift in the middle of our driveway and parts of our sidewalk were buried. Our street however had an 8ft drift, nobody was going anywhere! Days like this is when I am very thankful for the snowblower!

Due to the blizzard we actually had a fun and not so productive day. Grant and I watched a movie (Elf), took a long nap, made homemade chicken noodle soup and decorated a gingerbread house. Mark watched football, washed and folded all of the laundry and organized the new computer. It was a simple day but a fun day! grant had a pajama day. He was so cute running around the house in his footie jammies! Days like these I will remember forever, the afternoons at the mall not so much.

Are You on Facebook?

A few months ago I joined the Facebook community. I was a little leery at first because I tried MySpace for a few weeks and than my page was deleted for reasons unknown to me. This really irritated me and the MySpace people also had no idea why my page was deleted. It's not like I am some creepy adult trying to lure teens to my page. So I joined the "grown up" world of Facebook.

I enjoy Facebook! Where else can you reconnect with old friends, share your day with your current friends, join groups, and take mindless quizzes? "Just make sure you don't get addicted" said Mark. Sure Mark, whatever!

Facebook is an amazing way to reconnect with your old classmates and not have to go to your reunion! You can catch up on their lives, who they married/dated and see current pictures without having to make the awful road trip with a 3 year old...woo hoo!

A few things I want to know about Facebook: Why do some people have 100+ friends? Who keeps challenging me to take an IQ test? Who has a crush on me (according to a ticker that comes across the screen)?

Let it snow!!!

You know how when you were a kid, you always used to be real anxious for that first snow? Maybe hoping that school would get canceled? Or that you could build that superwickedawesomecool fort that you'd been planning since, oh, last April?

We finally got some over the weekend.

And like I was many years ago, I was psyched to see it again.

Why, you might ask?

Because tonight I got to fire up my brand new snowblower. And let me tell you, it was pretty exciting. I think all the thing doesn't do is play MP3's, and I'm sure that will be forthcoming in the newer model.

After having to shovel all that !@# snow last year without a functioning snowblower, I (and my back) are very pleased to welcome the Toro Power Max 826 LE to our family. A great toy you hope you never have to use!
