Running Naked In The Snow

-

One of the things which concerns me about all this now is the integrity of the roof. From what I've read, houses with pitched roofs, especially those built after 1978, are made to withstand great amounts of snow. Which is why I am concerned - because that is just what we have - a great amount of snow.

Of course my biggest fear is the roof collapsing while anyone is home. My second greatest fear is that we will get some warning, a creaking or moaning sound, and I will be home alone and in the shower, whereupon I will panic and run outside completely naked.

I can hear the comments from the neighbors now. "There's that CJ naked again in her yard. I thought she only did that during the summer when the pool was open."

The forecast for tomorrow is more snow. I'm thinking I need to keep my robe a little bit closer to the shower.

Actually you may not hear anything, so maybe you ought to wear the robe in the shower :)

after the big Loma Prieta earthquake 21 years ago, we kept a backpack next to the front door with supplies (including clothes and shoes) in it. Whenever the aftershocks hit, we were grabbing that pack. It's also what converted me into sleeping with pjs on.

Hope your roof in FINE and sorry to hear that you are going to get yet MORE snow. Ugh.

Two words for you: "los" "angeles". (FYI: it's 26 this morning with an inch of ice on everything. Needless to say, life has come to a standstill.)

yOu could shovel the roof instead of the driveway though that may lead to comments like, "There's CJ...all passed out in the front yard agin." ;)

We don't get a lot of harsh winters here, in spite of it being Canada, but we did have a monumental amount of snow from 2008-2009. I definitely sympathize. You need to get the avalanche team up there bombing the snow off your roof. Come on spring!

LOL! Running outside all wet... you'd end up frozen stiff.

Now Boarding Rows 1 Through 10. Is There Room For Your Carry On?

Here's an interesting texting typo I created last week: And if airline seats get any smaller, I can see this being an actual problem. Can you imagine? I'm sorry ma'am, but there is no way both of you can seat in one seat. You will have to purchase an additional ticket for "her". What would happen then? Would she want the window or middle seat? That's assuming she would even want to sit next to me. I mean, we are together 24/7 so she may want a little alone time, out in the open air, where she is free of any restraint. And what if she is chatty, flapping her lips the whole time? I'm not a big talker when I travel, preferring instead to bury my head in a magazine so I can take my mind off the flight and enjoy my Ativan. I imagine the conversation going as such: She:  I hate that bike seat at spin class. You have no idea what it's like. Me:  Spin class is only 50 minutes. You can handle it. I bought you padded shorts. Those weren't     ...

Commuting Tips - How to Make The Drive More Fun

Today is Saturday, which means I get a break from driving to my job in Boston. I love what I do and I honestly don't hate my commute. By the end of the week however, I can get fairly tired from the trip. So, in order to stay sharp on my drive, I've adopted the following strategy to make things more fun,interesting and bearable. Talk on the phone. Talk a lot. And don't use your blue-tooth wireless set up either. It's more challenging getting in and out of Boston if you have one hand on the wheel and one up to your ear. Send text messages. Nothing says 'I love you' like a text message sent from a friend while navigating bumper to bumper traffic on the Mass Pike. My preferred technique - look down and type, look up for a quick lane check, back down again to type. Scan the newspaper. No better time to get caught up on the days events than while you are just sitting in your car doing nothing. Take mini-naps. Once you establish a path of travel, throw on the cruise co...
