No, come to mine!

Oh, for Pete's sake....this is getting re-donk-u-lous.
We lost power -- again -- at 4:00 until 6:30 p.m. I suppose I should be happy that it was ONLY for 2.5 hours....but geez. I'm a little tired of cooking dinner by candlelight. "Hmmm...is that pot simmering? I can't see." And worrying about how long it will take for the now cold fireplace to ramp back up with the heat output. I guess older, "established" neighborhoods with mature trees have their drawbacks around here. Above ground power lines and big trees means frequent power outages. I'm afraid to sign on to my email, as I'm sure the neighborhood listserv is humming with rants. Sent from Smartphones, of course.....cuz no one had power for the computers!

e.t.a. Oh...Fudge Stripe cookies dipped in peanut butter....post shoveling treat. Mmmmmmm.....

Don't you have a headlamp?

[7rider]

I do, actually, and that's what I ended up using to see if the pot was simmering. I found a flashlight shining directly in was obscured by steam!

But it sounds so romantic! Okay, I'll stop.

Another day off tomorrow. The last day that I worked was last Thursday and I'm not due to go back until Tuesday. This is not the type of vacation that I would have planned.

Harris Teeter is having a sale on nutella this week. Just sayin'.

EATING dinner by candlelight: romantic
COOKING dinner by candlelight: not so much.

Same here - was sick on Friday - not confident we'll be there even this coming friday. And I'm on vay-cay next week.
I promised my boss a draft report before I left. I'll be working tomorrow, regardless. Assuming power stays on...cough, cough.

I've been checking e-mail all week but there's not much going on because our primary partners are universities and they know that if they contact us, we will not respond.

I shoveled the carport once and it's covered again. Resistance is futile.

We have officially set the record for the most snowfall in one year.

We don't have a Harris Teeter. I'll just have to pay full price. You stock up, though.

I've been doing as much work from home as I can (company policy: no work, no pay) but the people at the other end of my pipeline apparently are not on the job. I guess they will be busy when they get back.

I hope that you're able to get out safely and enjoy your vacation; think I remember you posting that you're going skiing...so, it may be strange to say this, but I hope that it's snowy whereever you're going too!

All my facebook friends in Colorado, Washington state, Utah, and Idaho are asking me to send them my snow so they can ski.

Yeah, thanks. We're heading to Colorado on Saturday for a week of skiing. I'd love to send them some of our snow!!! Chalking this up to one of life's little ironies.

Pfunk...I vote for wine, too! 2.5 hours of shovelling is plenty of exercise! We stopped by the LBS to say "hey." It was a quiet place there.
