It's been a while since I posted, so I thought it was probably time. Life has been busy, as per usual. This weekend marks the last weekend that I will have to deal with Girl Scout cookie sales, which have been going on for the last 6 weeks. SO CLOSE to being done. Ugh. Every year I take this on, and every year by the end of it I feel like I'd ( Read more... )

So this morning, there is day-old snow still frozen to the ground, the 'actual' air temperature is 12F (-11C), with a wind-chill 'feels like' temperature of 0-1F (-17C), and the nephew wanted to argue with me about wearing his coat, hat, and gloves because: 'I look stupid.'

All the porch furniture is inside, all of the trash cans are in the shed, two multipacks of bottled water are in the pantry as are plenty of nonperishable foodstuffs, the dog & cat food has been restocked, storm windows are closed, all electronics are as charged as they are gonna be, all other emergency gear is at the ready (though it always is, ( Read more... )

Yup. That's been my week so far. The first accident happened on Monday evening after work. Magus and I decided to detour from our regular route home to go pick up dinner. I stopped behind a lone line of cars waiting at a red light. The car behind me (a yellow Chevy) also stopped. The car behind them (a silver Lexus) stopped as well. However, the ( Read more... )
