Winter storm 1, Jen 0

♥ Comments (4) ♥

That storm has seriously kicked my butt. I spent most of yesterday morning helping dig my sister out. Then borrowed her snowblower and spent another 2 hours trying to dig out my own drive. Especially since the snow plow came at 4am and pushed packed snow up to my thigh all at the end of the drive. Just how the hell are you supposed to get out when they do that? You don’t. I had 3 neighbors stuck because of that. And i spent at least an hour chiseling away at it with the snowblower. But my sister was back to work at her chemistry lab and i had zander to help. Except for when it did this at 3pm:


for those of you who don’t know what lake effect snow or a white out looks like, now you do. This was a cruel joke because this was the DAY AFTER we got 11 inches of heavy fluffy snow. The comcast guys at my house who were fixing the fried cable box were told not to drive when i took that above picture!
Now what do you do when it looks like that out and you spent 2 hours earlier digging out the drive and it WAS sunny?


snooze under some covers and just watch the outside become white. Plus my body finally caught up with me from the day before...what shoveling heavy snow 5 times over the course of the day and night really makes you sore. VERY SORE...stupid storm.

I am very behind on thanking some people. The other day i was in my jammies and refusing to comb my hair. You KNOW when that happens SOMEONE will catch you. Certainly enough the mailman rang the door bell with these two packages. They were such a suprise and fun to open.

Carol over at Celadon Cupcake has a beagle named Arrow. Every few months or so i start throwing stuff ina box for her and a few other bloggers. Apparently she beat me. she sent this lovely box.


Lucy and her bed have to model because it was the ONLY place natural grey light was falling that day.




she sent some cram cream warshrags, stickers, candies and SNOOPY! and for the dogs...special valentine treats. I then tortured the dogs with giving them one but telling them to wait while i snapped a picture for carol and arrow.




note samuel is doing another of her many looks with her buggy eyeballs. This look says Auntie Jennifer why must you torture me so?
and the next package i opened was from Rachel. She so thoughtfully sent along some orange things as a little b-day gift. I freakin’ love these pens. I know alot of y’all are into gel pens...i think i have found something new to collect.
Rachel you totally rock.

Suzie over at Purlygates FINALLY got my package ( i wrote the address down without my glasses on....note to self NEVER do that again..i messed up one number and sent her package into post office limbo and i am suprised she was able to retrieve it ok) You can see all the silly stuff i sent to her for our birthday swap. Anyways....i’ve got some WIP’s you can see...little coin purses that are going into some of those boxes for several bloggers that i’ve been tripping over..
