Snow Storm Take Two

I love  toaster waffles. Toasted crisp and then smeared with crunch peanut butter, its my favorite breakfast. Actually no, I take that back my favorite breakfast is Eggs Benedict. Absolutely my favorite, but since I don’t eat that on a regular basis toaster waffles come in a close second. Or third, I haven’t really listed my favorite breakfast foods.

Since becoming sick I’ve amped up my vitamin intake. That is to say I’ve made it a point to remember to take my vitamins. Perhaps if I had been taking them I wouldn’t have gotten sick. Something makes me sick about swallowing 5 pills a day, big pills too.  Ugh.

Outside the snow is swirling. It has become a magical snow storm with the wind blowing the snow flakes about. This is not the soft, slow and lovely snow fall of last week. I scraped off my porch rail before the snow really got going so I could measure the fall but with all the wind I can’t tell. I’m kind of disappointed about it because I’ve heard many different reports about the snow fall. One report was 3-4 inches and then the last report was 12-20 inches! I am so grateful that through out all these storms that I’ve never lost power.

The snow has caused my Mom’s flight back to Virginia on Monday to be canceled and rescheduled for today, but by the looks of it I doubt she’ll fly in today either. My parents have bought a house in Nebraska, and the one here in Virginia is looking to be officially sold by March.

I will be returning home this weekend for a fun and festive  Mardi Gras ball with some great friends. Assuming it doesn’t get snowed out. I’m glad I sent my valentines out monday.

Article Daze

Since I am still, sick and poor thus house bound I’ve started reading a lot of interesting articles online. Many of them I’ve found by being on the email newletter list of the Chronicle of Philanthropy and the Arts Journal. So far today I’ve read about.. the world’s fastionation with “Glee”, the on going debate of the worth of an e-book, Stonehenge is getting commercial, and talking about art shouldn’t be so hard or complicated.

I’m watching snow fall out of my window again.

Snowed in!

I love snow. It makes me extraordinarily happy, even happier than warm clean laundry. Something about the peaceful, deafness of the snow falling. How it makes everyone become extremely cautious and careful. It also makes people stay in, instead of going out. Which is something I’m a fan of.

This whole weekend I was miserably sick with a cold. I was glad that at least I was able to rest and just stay indoors the whole time like everyone else, so I didn’t feel to awful. I am not please with the green goobers that have taken up residence in my nose and throat. I am feeling LOADS better today. I hope some nice neighbor shovels out my car. I’m not sure how I’m going to do it.. I lack shovel and other basic snow scooping items.

My parents are getting even closer to officially moving away forever. They’ve had a few offers on the house already, after it being on the market only a week!! That is just amazing and unthinkable. I’m glad that everything is moving smoothly and quickly for them but at the same time I was hoping for a few more months with my Mom around.

UPDATE! Meg and I shoveled out our cars! Here are the pictures to prove it.

Me, trying to climb over the mountain of snow, it was up to my thigh.. I climbed down and walked around.

Meg’s car half way cleared off

My poor car. This is the before shot, it is now officially cleared off.

Lets get married!

So over night my parents house has turned into wedding central. Not only am I in a wedding today, which has been furiously moved up from this evening to noon, but I now have two future sister in laws in the house furiously planning their own. I’m not a wedding scrooge but I am going to be up to my ears in weddingness for the next few months.

Its started to snow last night. What I mean to tell you is, a Northeaster came  and it SNOWED last night, and this morning  and shows no signs of letting up.  The lovely 5 o’clock wedding that was planned has now been frantically move up to noon. My family is fortunate to have a 4 wheel drive truck so my Dad has graciously offered to drive me to the church, shovel the sidewalk ways  and pick up a few other people. Along with some brotherly help.

I’ll shall keep you, dear readers up dated on the rest of how today will progresses.
