First flakes have been sighted....

Aaaand in the time it took me to take a shower and get dressed,top of my car is white. That was a little unexpected.

Hrm.

Flakes better than freezing rain, though, no?

I just rearranged my living room, and am unsure. What I should do is finish unpacking the other bedroom and then come back to it, but instead I am playing Candy Crush and listening to Wait Wait.

Well, freezing is supposed to happen later. I may not be going anywhere. Main drag near me is covered.

Parade was cancelled. Furthest I'm going is the pool, I guess.

I may have bought Mallomars at the store, and thought of Steph while I did it. Because I'm still sick and deserve a treat!

To me the "year round food" comment is funny because it was made by a smart person who was being logical while losing sight of the bigger picture. For me the personal moment that illustrates this is the time many years ago when I petted a clean, bouncy baby lamb and blurted out "It feels just like a sweater!"

We had fun last night and the reading in east Baltimore was great. Sadly, we didn't get out in advance of the snow fast enough and decided, after some scary driving, to get off in Whitemarsh. Where we had a fender bender - no one hurt, but plans royally screwed up. Bills to follow. We cancelled AAA bc allstate had 'roadside assistance'. We are rapidly discovering the difference.

Sox, glad you're all all right, but boo for messed-up plans!

Oh, yeah. Allstate keeps trying to sell me on their "roadside assistance plan". Nope. AAA has never let me down.

I do not know the "year round food" story.

Freezing rain. Pretty ice. Light snow. Staying inside.

WAYYYYY back in the day (seriously, it was 2001), I was in New York and got to meet a huge contingent of Buffistas in person for the first time. So we all go out to brunch, and -- it was October -- talk turns to Mallomars, and the fact that they're *back* in the stores. And I was all "What do you mean, 'they're back'?" So they explain that Mallomars are only seasonal b/c the chocolate melts or something (which, it was the 21st goddamn century and air-conditioning exists in both stores AND delivery trucks, AND other chocolate foodstuffs are in stores year-round, so: POINT).

But I, because I am horrifically socially awkward and was nervous because I was meeting, like, 500 new people all at once, said, "Huh. In Ohio, we have food year-round."

t crickets

Apparently in New York, they do not. Foot, mouth. Hello, NYC-istas, nice to meetcha. Let me insult your regional food.

Glad you're all OK, at least, Sox.

"It feels just like a sweater!"

I bet it did! Heh.
