The weather outside is frightful...


IT IS SNOWING.......
Man if that isn't the understatement of the year I don't know what is...
It started here around 5:30 a.m. and has been constantly falling since... I would venture to say that it is already around 6 inches if not more.. and the weatherman/ person says it isn't going to stop until late this afternoon. Ugh..
It has ruined my plans for a morning get together with some gal pals and put me in a tailspin of concern for Mr R and Maria. They made it in to work ok.. but the drive home is going to be just as dicey.. ( Say a quick prayer for them ... if you are a believer .. would ya?)
So for the rest of the day... I will clean the house, and eventually get out there and start to shovel. ( Our pitiful little snow blower ... is exactly that... instead of moving the snow.. it just blows at it) It would be funny if it weren't so sad...
Maybe I will get lucky and one of my wonderful neighbors who own MAC DADDY versions of snow blowers will take pity on me and shovel me out... A girl can hope.
What I really want to do instead of cleaning or shoveling ,is curl up and watch an old time movie... you know in black and white.No lights on except the tree...house nice an quiet..
alas... a girl can dream.
The reality will probably be.... Me sweating like a hog scrubbing bathrooms,floors,counter tops,rugs... throwing in some wash.... bundling up and shoveling for a bit... come back in warm up.. change some sheets,find all utensils for Christmas brunch, make some lunch.. back outside to shovel again... back in... make some dinner, put away clothes,shovel ... I know I know.. My life ....it's all about the glamore, what can I say....
I hope that where ever you are... you are safe and warm, that loved ones make it home ok... and that if you are experiencing this storm... you have a MAC DADDY snow blower or really really nice neighbors.
P.S.
