oh sweet delicious coffee
I take back all the mocking I did. I have never seen it like this. If you live in a place that get a lot of snow, feel free to mock me, but I just wasn't prepared for:
SNOWPOCALYPSE 2010
1. Lost power (re: heat) at 2 am. Ate the kid for warmth.
2. I kid, we did that huddle for warmth thing.
3. Discovered all coffee was unground. Used mortar and pestle.
4. No method of heating water. Did you know that when water is hot enough to burn you in the shower, it is still not hot enough for coffee?
5. Drank coffee anyway.
6. Went outside.
This was the view from my front porch:
This is the street from the end of our parking lot:
To appreciate the scale here, I want you to understand that that pile is on the OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD, ALMOST RIGHT NEXT TO THE BUILDING BEHIND IT. THIS IS NOT A PERCEPTION TRICK. SNOW IS NOT TALLER THAN IT APPEARS. IT IS THAT TALL:
VIVI CLIMBS MOUNT SNOW:
I am sure there is parent fail going on here, as I scream, "Go higher!":
I shoveled our walk, and here is Viv, in the tunnel:
7. Went inside, peeled off clothes (PLUS: I have lost so much weight that I was able to wear my fleece pyjamapants under my old size 14 jeans. MINUS: COLD)
8. After lunch. POWER RETURNS! HUZZAH! COFFEE FIRST, CHARGE CELL, RUN DISHWASHER.
