Another Nor'easter

-


These are pictures taken from the deck of my house. Below the fence is a wooded area that leads to the Connecticut River. Might be a good day to get out the snowshoes! Unfortunately I have never used them before and I would probably fall flat on my face. Maybe I should practice in the house first.

Dear God:

AGAIN, thank you for allowing me to live in Georgia. I thank you that I am wearing a short sleeve shirt today and can still see my grass.

Amen.

Hey Stealth - I had on a short sleeve shirt too. Under my fleece sweatshirt and fleece jacket. See, it's not so bad up here :).

Funny, that looks to be about 6inches which was huge snow for me a few years ago. Now, not so much. Last Saturday we got over 2ft in 3 days. Luckily it's nothing I have to shovel!

Compared to what you folks get Ronia, this is nothing. We just like to bi*&h about it. At least it's a good excuse not to drive to work here.

Good for you Chewy! I was thinking you may not have gone to work since I did not see a new post. That's the one positive aspect of a big New England snowfall - it's a good reason not to go in to work.

Hey Wendy - Thank you for stopping by. Your blog says you are in Kansas - I didn't even know Kansas got that cold. (I'm pretty bad with geography). Think Spring!

Embarrassing Work Moment # 94

I peed on my pants leg today at work. I'm a squatter. I know sitting on a public toilet will probably not bring me irreparable harm, but it just skeeves me to no end. Hovering can be tricky business however - one rogue stream as I had today and you've got yourself a pair of pee pee pants. Luckily this happened at the end of the day. It did prolong my day however, as I wanted to sit at my desk for a bit, hoping the spot would fade prior to my leaving the building. And, as it turns out, it was a particularly crowded day on the campus, with students moving in for the fall semester. Hopefully no one noticed as I quickly walked behind the buildings to the parking lot, glancing behind and down as I walked to make sure the offending spot was not standing out too much. Maybe I should keep a spare pair of pants in my office from now on.

What's A Girl To Do About Packing?

Salsa Shark I'm going on vacation in a few weeks to some place warm. Thought it might be a good idea today to try on my shorts. All of them, except for four pairs, somehow shrunk in my drawer over the winter. So off to the mall I went. I picked up a few pairs of shorts, along with a big new suitcase. Can somebody please tell me when a suitcase started costing between $200 and $350? Who needs ballistic nylon encasing their bathing suit and suntan lotion? Apparently a lot of folks do because the suitcases I saw could withstand any sort of attack, foreign or domestic. Nice to know if, God forbid, the plane goes down, my underwear will remain intact inside my Samsonite. I better be careful what I pack. Somethings are better not found. I finished off my evening with dinner at a Mexican restaurant. That's when the Salsa Shark appeared. If only I had handy my new suitcase that doubles as a shark cage. Oh well, maybe I can try that feature while on vacation.
