Miss Boo is enjoying so many things this year about her new school experience.
One of those things is CHATTING with other school mates.
It’s not uncommon to walk past her room and notice the chat window open and hear that tell- tale chime that says something was sent or received.
I’m glad she loves to chat and is enjoying the friendships they’ve created online. So as an ode to her new “hobby”, hubs made this cute video for her. Enjoy! : )
I decided to give the ole
bloggy-poo a new do. I was getting
tired of the busy wallpaper.
I was wanting to make three columns
instead of two. And I just wanted to
spread out a little bit.
Tell me if I need to change anything.
Is anything too small or too bright or
just too ‘whatever’?
So it’s snowing. I think it started late last night and it’s still snowing late this morning. But at least it’s tapering off.
Let’s hear it for tapering off!
You can see bunny prints in the below pics. This first one was in my front yard. When I was taking the picture, I was noticing that the sidewalk is gone. And then when I looked at it later, I noticed the tracks.
Here’s a close up of some tracks. They were fresh and easy to see, but by the time I grabbed my camera, they’d been snowed on. Not quite as clear now. : (
There’s nature out there!
Snow days are fun. Don’t get me wrong. I love how pretty it is. I’ve enjoyed chatting way too much on Facebook. And seeing everybody’s pictures of this crazy weather.
But I am very ready for sunny skies and warmer weather.
And regular programming on tv.
We’re still iced in. It’s 13 degrees. And it’s supposed to snow tomorrow.
Yay. (not really)
Hubs went to work yesterday. Someone almost slid into him about a block from the house. And then the rest of his trip in was uneventful. It took him an hour and a half to get home last night. And then it took almost a dozen tries to get up the driveway.
I’m making a mental list of all the things I’d like him to pick up from the store on his way home from work tonight. It may get above freezing on SATURDAY.

All of this snow and ice has made me remember some of the fun ice/snow stuff we’ve done through the years. One year we put Miss Boo in a laundry basket and let her slide down the driveway. She loved it until it fell over at the bottom. And then she didn’t want to do that anymore.
She cried.
We laughed.
Parents of the year.
We’ve been threatening to send her down the driveway again, what with all the ice we’ve got.
She remembers and doesn’t really want to do that. But she doesn’t fit in a laundry basket anymore, so she thinks she’s safe.
Ya know, she might fit in the recycle bin. : )
Remember when I said it sure was cold.
Well, I was only funnin’ then.
Because it’s REALLY cold now.
Like setting records.
We had rain, sleet, ice and snow within just a few hours. The schools are out today for the second day.
And today we are starting to have rolling power outages.
Yay.
I’ve already told the girl to hop in bed and cover up if the power goes off, because even though the power company says 15 minutes, it’s likely to be longer.
She and I are both sick with a sniffy, scratchy, viral something or other.
She’s a little bummed that “snow day” doesn’t have the same happy ring to it these days (since she does school online at home now).
But it’s too cold to go out or do anything anyway.
As in 14 degrees. And they were talking wind chills of 0 last night.
We left all the water dripping in the house last night and the cupboard door open under the sink since that’s an outside wall. So no problems there this morning.
But the water in the door of the frig isn’t working and I don’t know why.
I’m skeert.
*tap tap tap*
Is this thing on?
I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve posted. Well, I guess that’s because it has! : )
Nothing much is going on here. Just the usual.
It’s cold. Not my favorite thing. I’ve just about decided that I would be in bad shape if we ever had to live in a place that got, ya know, really cold.
Don’t get me wrong, we do have cold weather. Last winter was pretty bad for us with many snow days and a record snow fall. So far this year, although it’s been very cold, we’ve only gotten a dusting at my house..although a neighboring community got several inches.
I got all giddy the other day. I was reading the weather on my iPod Touch and it called for temps close to 80 in a few days. I couldn’t believe my eyes! How could I have missed this wonderful news???… I thought, as I shivered under a blanket.
Then I realized was reading ORLANDO’s weather.
My bad.
Leaves me pining away to be at the happiest place on earth and those beautiful blue skies!
Merry Christmas to you and yours. See you soon! : )
