Things to do while snowed in

[list=1]
[*]Get shitfaced
[*]Do it
[*]Eat
[*]Play board games
[/list]

not necessarily in that order


you?

1. Eat
2. Read
3. Crochet
4. Wait for the ambulance*


* to take me to work in the morning, in the event that regularly scheduled staff can't bother themselves to dig their cars out. Time and a Half, and the likelihood that no one will come in and so I will spend the shift playing video games and drinking coffee. Oh, and now that I've posted about this, the likelihood that I will actually get to go in for the essentially free money is diminishing.

1) read boring research textbook moving on to
2) getting shit-faced and have been assured I will be
3) getting some so I'm not gonna get smart with LJs DD comment

edit: broke out the mandolin between 1 and 2. Pete has her fiddle out now.

oh, cranking Van Halen

1) Strapping on the cross country ski's and ski-ing down roads that all cars have abandoned.
2) Writing mathmatical equations re Boyle's gas laws on the frost on your windows so you can have the fun of watching them all sublimate the next day.
3) Finally having the excuse to drink peppermint snaps.
4) Fantasize about what you will do when the next ice age hits.
5) Get in your 4wd to go rescue your girlfriend and subsequently forgetting about all of the above.

1) Smoke an enormous joint [check]
2) Watch four DVDs back-to-back [check]
3) Go across the street to give the poor pizza guy some business [not technically snowed *in*, but check]
4) Furiously masturbate because the girl I'm currently seeing left for effin' Hawaii early this morning

Now for some better suggestions:
5) Surf the Web until you've reached the end of the Internet
6) Exhaust every link on all known free porn sites
7) Fish out all the pizza crusts and leftover crap between the stove and the fridge
8) Do a puzzle
9) Play twister
10) Throw snowballs at poor schmucks walking outside

Who needs an excuse?

I was working from home this morning to complete a project with a few other folks from work. I will probably work tomorrow morning also. No overtime, I do this for fun.

I just got home from work. I guess everyone else in town is at home doing it, wacking off or eating, because I made $55 on a Saturday night, my best shift this week, then we drove to 711 in the blizzard because I just needed some chips. My husband brushed off all the snow from the back windshield, got back in the car and it was already covered with snow again. We made it back, though. I love Cape Cod chips.

My wife sends me to 7/11 at odd hours to get her sour cream and onion chips. I pick up some UTZ' Old Bay for myself. Ummmmmmmm.

I've always considered drinking peppermint schnaps akin to reverting to childhood when I would eat candy canes off the Christmas tree and get yelled at by Mom crossed with being a derelict in a back alley drinking from a bag. I do keep a bottle of it in my freezer, however - just in case! :D

I was a domestic goddess....baked breakfast muffins, made a big pot of chicken corn soup, baked a few batches of cookies, and am now making bread...somehow, the smell of baking always makes a house 'feel' warmer.

Oh, and I shovelled, shovelled, shovelled. Once I found a shovel *G* (4 store shopping spree on Saturday when it was starting)

# Buy Xbox (play new games)
# Do it
# Eat
# Go for drive in the snow
# Fool around
# Play board games
# Watch movie
# Sleep
# Read
# Do it (special requests)
# Watch football
# Play Xbox

All not necessarily in that order

Thanks for being snowbound with me UT (sweetie)
:lovers:

I went the domestic route today too. I made coconut, pineapple, mandarin orange and chocolate cherry angel food cake trifles(layers of cake, pudding and fruit) for Arsen. Then I made a huge pot of rosemary garlic mashed potatoes and slow cooked corned beef brisket with red wine. We have enough food to last all week. I even did the dishes, yay! then I ate too much and slept for the rest of the day. Arsen calked the windows and sat on the computer playing good songs and really irritating songs too.
There's a snowdrift behind our car that is taller than the car. I'm glad I don't have to work tomorrow, either.

I feel left out. I've never lived in the snow. Damn these sunny 70 degree winter days!

Husband lived in Jersey for 12 years, and his best friend, Hawkwind, still lives there. I think there is a secret campaign between the two of them to get me to move to Jersey. I was talking to Hawkwind on Ventrilo Saturday and he was talking about 30" of snow, with more coming.

Uh...

No.

I'm just wondering...did you just happen to have all that stuff on hand, or do you grocery shop with a menu in mind? I never seem to have on-hand what I need to make excellent food--NEVER! I am constantly running to the store for forgotten items.

Was looking at reader photo's of the blizzard in the Boston Globe online. Wow. Unreal!
