Snow Days
well, it's Snow Day, Part the Third, and harriet and i are getting a little tired of it. the first day was fun, but this is getting a bit ridiculous. it's funny, but i can spend days on end alone and not be bothered by it, but as soon as i *can't* get to civilization, it makes me stir crazy. i had intended to try to get into town this ayem, but when i got to the bottom of the drive, the road was drifted over with at least a couple of feet of snow. hrmph. i shouldn't complain, though. at least i didn't slide off the drive and get stuck, like one of my neighbors did. elliott is loving it, though. he wants to spend all his time outside. harriet isn't very impressed. she refuses to go out and play, and she doesn't want elliott going out without her. jealous, bossy little brat. whenever he goes out, she sits at the storm door, watching him and yipping at him to get his ass inside Right This Minute! he's good at ignoring her, though. i love watching him trot around, checking the perimeter, then wuffling and snow-plowing when he's satisfied that all's clear. last night, when he was done amusing himself, he decided to curl up in a drift of snow and didn't want to come inside when i called him. he sure looked comfy enough. and, i highly recommend (night!) sledding as a temporary cure for cabin fever. wheee! if you don't have someone to sled with, ask your neighbors if they can come out and play. it's well worth it! -- shelly (perfectly foul wench) and elliott & harriet http://home.bluemarble.net/~scouvrette This is an impressive crowd, the haves and the have-mores. Some people call you the elite. I call you my base. -- George W. Bush, Al Smith Memorial Dinner, New York NY 10/19/2000 |

I've always thought the most dangerous thing about being snowed in for days during a blizzard was being stuck inside with mail order catalogs and a bunch of credit cards. I looked out the window this morning and thought that we didn't get that much snow last night, but I just got back from a somewhat exhausting ski - the snow was knee-deep in a lot of places. I dunno. I almost never get cabin fever. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - In 2001, drug companies spent $45.1 billion on marketing and advertising and only $19.1 billion on research and development |

... I've always thought the most dangerous thing about being snowed in for days during a blizzard was being stuck inside with mail order catalogs and a bunch of credit cards. So far, I've only actually placed one order. But I have catalogs folded open for everything from LL Bean sunglasses (which I really NEED) to Chef's (stuff I really just WANT). In spite of about a foot of snow over the past two days, we did make it out to the store today. But unless the township shows up pretty soon and plows, the road will be completely and officially drifted in. The only reason it is still at all passable now is that the snow is so fluffy. So tomorrow may actually be MY snowday! ~~Judy |
