There is currently 6000 pounds of snow outside my window and I am typing on the computer my window is at ground level - all I see is white and grey - white snow and grey sky. The radio has said nothing but stay home - don't go out the Dept of Transportation can't keep ahead of the falling snow... panic panic panic...
I am home, I have dug out the stairs outside three times today and will probably do it a few more times tonight and tomorrow too... the dogs have a tunnel - from where I stopped shoveling to the gap between all that snow and the deck - all the yellow and probably brown snow will be in that gap - with any luck I won't see it until spring - at this point I don't think I am going to see the back yard until spring. The snow is taller than Shelby - it's up to Violet's chest... people this is serious - that is a lot of freaking snow! AND ITS STILL COMING DOWN - I AM NEVER GETTING OUT OF THIS HOUSE! Ahem - well now. I'm fine really.
On the serious plus side? The kid next door apparently needs gas money so he's shoveling my driveway - I love that kid because I was done with gingerbread and icing and figured before the light really disappeared I should make a half hearted effort to clean off my driveway - then he arrived. (Did you hear the angels sing?) He's about 1/2 way done and looking a bit forlorn - I feel for him that's a lot of freaking snow! He said one price I upped to get him on his way home to clean off my TV dish - I can't get HD - which will suck for the hockey game tonight. ;-)
Let's face it the snow is up to his knees - this kid is about 5 foot 10 inches tall - take 7 inches off for me and I trudging waist deep in snow - that will suck times 12.
I took some pictures - now I just have to figure out how to get them from the camera software on my computer to someone else. Give me an hour - or so after all what else do I have to do for the next two days? Nothing - I may do a load of laundry just so I have some clean unmentionables - Bubba is on the West Coast and on his own. Actually I have that answer he said he was going to swing by Target on his way back to the hotel tonight and "pick up a pack". Ah men.
Current Bubba arrival plan - Monday. He said if something hinky happens he will look into rerouting to Pittsburgh - won't that be fun? Another maneuver to coordinate. I'll make his Dad go get him - BWAAA HA HA HA.... ahem - sorry. Seems to be the day for ill timed outbursts. Screw it I'm alone with the dogs - what's the diff eh?
So, Saturday thus far - up, look outside - series of shocked football words, shower, breakfast, rolled out and baked gingerbread house parts, and cookies, icing, wash it all up, thanking the stars for the boy next door, and computer time... next will follow throw something together for dinner, put that dish in the dishwasher and hockey and whatever attracts my fancy on the tube. Followed by bed, and wondering what to do with my Sunday. It will probably be something like staring out into all that white snow wondering if it will ever stop falling from the sky....
There is a rumor of football game tomorrow - now as stupid Baltimore's game as been moved to 4:15 I may not have to witness first hand that other team - but my neighbors are big Green Bay fans - I am in big trouble. There is always the Internet.
Stay tuned I may be back on line soon - like leaving a list of where I have hidden the jewelry and what to do with my frozen body when they dig it out in 2012. ... Not feeling closed in at all why do you ask?
