Way too early...
I set my alarm for 6:15 because mom wanted to go to the Farmer's Market holiday thing at 8:00 and I needed to clean the house a bit before she came in to change lightbulbs.
Got up at 7:00. No time to clean. Tough, mom knows I'm a slob.
Went out to McDonalds for breakfast--freezing drizzle but not much and no slippery roads.
Mom called at 7:25 to suggest we not go because...I don't know why, whatever. I wasn't planning to buy anything.
She said she'd be in around 9:00 to change lightbulbs, giving me time to clean.
Notice how it's 8:45 and I'm doing this instead of cleaning.
Then she called again to say 11:00.
Maybe then I'll have time to clean. *g*
I need to clean and do laundry and pack so that I can fic the rest of the day away because I'm majorly behind on ficcing and I leave at dawn for Vegas. Hopefully.
Last night mom was all Katie Horner (local people will know the name of the most hystrionic weather person ever) doom and gloom about my chances of actually getting to KCI in the morning, even suggesting dad take me to an airport hotel this afternoon, because the ice storm of the century was going to hit over Saturday night. It was kind of depressing. I hate ice. Snow I can handle.
So, I went to weather.com and showed her that real local weather (not Kansas City; I tell her over and over and over that KC gets different weather than we do and storms come from the west and go east--we're west of KC--and she needs to find a way to watch Topeka weather since their satellite doesn't get Lawrence or Topeka or Kansas, but Kansas City, Missouri stations) said it was chances for light wintery mix.
Not ice storm of the century.
Or so we hope.
Keep your fingers crossed, please! I really want to go to Vegas even if it is going to be in the 40s there! WTF?!
