Huh. We're gettin 6" to 12" of snow. There will be blowing and drifting. At least the worst of it will be on the weekend.

Why do I even bother digging my car out. Same forecast up here in MA. Seems the only time it's getting out of the single digits and teens is so it can drop another foot of snow. Then I wait until it's at least warm enough to dig it out without getting frostbite. Next day or so, more snow. Rinse, lather, repeat. Meh. I used to like winter.

Also, 826 Valencia is hiring. If I wanted to go back North and I wanted to come out of the classroom and still work with kids, that would be an ideal job.

I have "Uses for Lard" and "Goals for the Voyage" hanging on my bulletin board in my classroom. Love it.

My evil plan... Now with meerkats.

This is wonderful. Can I tag?

Frank, I so hear you. It's the same here. What's your temp this morning? It's 4 here and damp. Brrrrr.

I will take Zach, for lo, he did suggest that Seth hook up with a guy. And sounded like he thought it was a good idea. Perhaps even like he had one in mind.

The best part of the was the horrified look on Ryan's face. He's knows that he's Seth's one true love.

I discovered yesterday that we can blame my mother for all of the snow here in MA. See, each time my parents make a big change in their lives (a move to another state, a job change, etc.) it snows...and this is their "proof" from above that they're making the right decision.

Well, right now my mom is between jobs. She keeps taking all of this snow as a positive sign that she's moving in the right direction, etc. So, each time it snows, I blame her. Feel free to do the same.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I think we should all rename ourselves after common household products. I hereby dub P-C "Pushy Broom".

Hee hee. But then what would we call Mr. Broom?

Actually, I think the Lightbulbs was after the thread, not the bulbs.

yeah, I know you watch the show, but I have no idea who is reading this thread, so I wanted you to know the content of the spoiler before you read the white font in case someone else didn't want to be spoiled!

What, is she considering a career as a snowplow contractor?

Kristin, my thermometer is reading 0, right now. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr. It'll have to warm up to snow. I just hope the cold snap kills off all the nasty illnesses going around.

Nope. Chief Technology Officer. But, snowplow contractor might not be a bad idea. Hee!

In my dream world, their are personal snow removal contractors, who work for $5.00/hour and not only plow your driveway, but shovel your steps and walks, and apply sand and/or salt to them.

Huh. In my dream world, I am a capitalist oppressor. Go dream team me.

Bwah! The thing that cracks me up most about mom's snow excitement is that she does most of the shoveling/snow-blowing. So, she knows what a pain in the ass it is. Still, she sees each snow as a "sign."

I'm not really making fun of her. There is a long line of snow coming right at the right time for our big family decisions (and snow at weird times...like May). I just think it's so funny that she's using it right now when it's snowing like every. other. day.
