Snow~
Today was more exciting than I anticipated. I went to work and it was cold with a solid grey sky overhead, nothing unusual for winter. I loaded up the car with the deliveries from the previous day. I told my mom I was gonna stop by Circuit City while I was out. (I wanted to see if Phoenix Wright 2 was out yet.) She said 'Oh, take this, I won't use it," and handed me a $50 gift card *_* Told me to go buy a game or something. Well, I'd already planned on that. I had $100 in gift cards I'd gotten for Christmas. Circuit City was unusually helpful today, I was a bit stunned. They didn't have Phoenix Wright 2, but I got Xenosaga III, dug Devil May Cry anniversary pack out of the discount bin for $20, and that Rayman rabbit game Mako's been going on about. (If it sucks, I'm kicking your ass, Mako.) I still have enough credit on the gift card to get Phoenix Wright 2 if/when they get it in o.ob
Left Circuit City and discovered an inch of snow on the ground. Oh dear, I wasn't in the store for *that* long. I puttered around slowly (like 15mph everywhere) to do the deliveries I had slated. Mom was calling me like every half hour to ask if I was in an accident 'cause it was taking so long >.>; My last stop was by this soup kitchen place to get us lunch. I followed these four middle aged (like.. 50s-60s) women out the door with my order. They were talking about how the snow was perfect for making snowmen and their shoes and such. Then one of them lagged behind, made a snowball, and tossed it at the other three. The three up front didn't even look behind them, they told the women behind to stop throwing snowballs at them x3; She laughed and asked how they knew it was her? They asked who else would do it? I was snickering at that.
I got back to the shop and it was about 1pm. By this time there was a good 2-3 inches on the ground. Mom had several walking distance deliveries for me to make. I was getting those gathered when my dad started calling every 5 minutes (I kid you not) telling my mom to send me home now before the snow got much thicker. Mom was like "I know! I know! But just 2 more deliveries!" And dad was like "D:!!! Now! Now! Now!" Needless to say, I did the walking deliveries as quickly as I could and then mom shoved me out the door before dad called again to bug her. She told me to call her when I got home. It took me about 30 minutes to make a drive that usually takes me 5-10 at most ^^; I did call her when I got home, and then she called my dad so he'd leave her alone x3; I was so amused.
Pepper is enjoying the snow so far. She wants to run around and play in it, but she doesn't like that it gets between her paw toes. She also doesn't like squatting in it to do her business. I'm confident that I'll be washing her soiled blanket in the morning 'cause she didn't want to go outside ^^;
