Beverly Cleary FTW! Thanks guys.
I also bought gifts for my sisters, but the snow is picking up now, which gives me the perfect excuse to procrastinate a little more. I have four whole more days to finish my shopping!
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
THERE IS SNOW! YAY!

So I shoveled. And then I walked. Went to Ace and got a broom, but totally forgot to get hook & eyes for my stained glass, which ...damn. I don't really want to walk out there again. Face first into the snow sucks. And then I shoveled and swept some more.
I took some more pictures. House: [link]

Now I am going to drink some cider.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Um, it'll be a while before Olivia Wilde goes up on my site. Her look scares me. But thanks for looking out.
Oops! I sent some Sandra Bullock too. She's not scary.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
weary. truth be told, I am weary. don't even want to get into our morning.
Now a playdate is at our house and I have to decide when the snow get bad enough that I have to end it (I really want to just call the parents and ask for a sleepover, but I don;t think this kid would go along with that).
Until then, I am finally getting around to cutting up the caramels I made on Thursday, wrapping them all in wax paper and being crafty getting them ready for teachers.
I wish y'all were my neighbors and could come over and help and be company.

I promised Dylan he could go out in the snow after his nap, but then I put on inside pants and I think I'm too comfortable to leave the house. Oops.

I wish I were a neighbor too. I'm having my typical omgsobored reaction to it being nasty out.
I guess I could do my nails. Pointless to mop the downstairs until I stop having to shovel. Laundry must wait until tomorrow. Ditto packing.

why?
lunchbreak.
Looks like I will have around 88 caramels. so 10 for each teacher and 8 for the afterschool teachers. OR I could make toffee after I get these wrapped and make everything go further.

Cause there's stuff I still want. And it isn't as if I have a lot to do tomorrow.
My upstairs balcony is almost full. Um. I wonder if I should shovel that. I'd have to get the door open, first.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sandra Bullock is the opposite of scary. She keeps making crap films, but still gets hired. Unthreatening but lovely.
Yeah, I should have come to the post office sooner. The automated line is pretty long. And it's so easy to be judgy about how long people spend at it. So far, barring the first couple, not too bad.
