Title: Might as well do it . . . Sunday . . .
Post by: BlueStateSaint on January 18, 2009, 07:10:41 AM
What's happening?  It's snowing here.  2"-3" down with more on the way.  Roads suck if you're driving fast, which I wasn't doing when I went out earlier.

Gonna hunker down today (and watch the Steelers get their ticket punched for Tampa), and re-steam clean the carpet where The Heiress left yesterday's first bottle contents.  She's a lot better today, though her cough is a full, evil cough.

Looks like at least 5-6 inches so far here.  But the bright side to all of this is the fact that it's WARM!!!!  Well, compared to the last few days, anyway...it's currently +14 according to the kitchen weather station.

It's warming up here in the Land of Undies.  It is suppose to be near 70.  I'm going to open some windows.

Cold today, and supposed to snow, but we'll see.

Going to try a new church this morning, as we haven't found a good church home here yet.

This afternoon ,we are just going to chill.

It has just about stopped snowing but 4-6 inches of new crap are on the ground. :censored:

Carl, another batch is entering the Catskills, headed our way, as I write this.  Also, western Pennsylvania has a bunch of snow that's headed our way, too.

Still coming down like crazy.  Looks like we'll be over a foot by the time it's done.  Fortunately, it's the cold/dry snow, not that heavy wet stuff, so it'll be easy to blow out of the driveway tonight.

It's beautiful today. 

I slept in today.  I'm about to hit the shower.  Then off to Target to pick up the birthday present for my friend's son.  His party is today at 2pm.  After the party, my friend's dad is serving spaghetti & meatballs.  It's his special takes a whole day to make sauce.   :drool:

It's pretty nice here, cool but not cold, no snow.   :-)  We went to church this morning, then spent a little time driving in metal fence posts, and now it's time to relax...which is why I'm online.   :-)

Weather isn't too bad today, but a jacket is still required.

Just hanging out here.  Ran to the store for some things and picked up lunch (Stouffer's French Bread pizza, yum, and enough left over for dinner).

I'm a closer tonight, then I go into work at 8 am tomorrow.  Being able to get 30+ hours a week these days is getting a lot harder, especially since I have to fight for mine (while certain obnoxious co-workers just have those hours handed to them, though they are the slackers and bums of the workplace who consistently receive pay deductions for treating customers like crap).

  I owe my co-worker a little something for letting me take his Monday shift (though he says he repeatedly asked for that day off anyway while I begged repeatedly to work on that day, given that there is no class that day).  Maybe I'll buy him a Coke.  :p

It was bitterly cold all week but we are having a great sunny weekend here.

It's nearly 50° here.  And I still have no plans for today.  I'm considering picking up a car later this week.  Any opions?  It's a 1982 280ZX.

Spent 4 hours total driving to and from picking up our new baby. (See my puppy thread!)

Cold but sunny here today.  Long day though.

You are welcome. :-)

Shoveled and plowed 16 INCHES of the crap out yesterday.  It was coming over the intake of the snowblower, which made for VERY slow going.  Of course, what do I see when I wake up at 4 this morning to come into work?  ANOTHER 4 INCHES on the ground.

I'm kicking Al Gore in the balls if I ever meet him.
