Going to go see if the pool is open. If nothing else, a scenic walk!

I wish I'd gone to bed earlier so I would have gotten up earlier and finished my shopping before it started snowing. But nooo, now I have to trudge around in the snow.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
It is supposed to get up to 38 here today, but it has been hovering at 30 for 2 hours now. DAMN IT! I need to go out. I need sinus meds and bread and dog food, probably milk also. mac is dying for NOT FOOD AT HOME, spoiled little monster (kidding, he has been great what with stuck inside for 3 days). Walgreens is only about 10 blocks away and Target is only a parking lot away from that. I mostly fear the parking lots. I have both sand and salt I can use on my driveway. If I get out and it is not too bad, I predict wings in our future.

not your mom's socks.
Would have been excellent to see you, Sarameg - but we'll be back. Napping at IKEA sounds awesome. Considering seeing Frozen because Irony.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
It's 25 degrees here. And, my power just went out.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I wonder if that opening scene was *less* horrifying if you watch it regularly.
Having just watched that scene, I'm gonna say - not less horrifying, exactly, but less surprising, probably. Because how very fucked up Scandal is is a large part of its charm, really. Also Olivia's coats. Her wardrobe in general is pretty great, but her coats are really wonderful.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Snowpocalypse-shopping would explain why the supermarket seemed so full of bewildered shoppers. I figured it was me tottering around under the influence of OTC drugs that warn you not to operate heavy machinery (but not shopping carts). The guy ahead of me in line at the checkout toted up $154.80 worth of groceries, and I, zombielike, had my card out, stretching slowly towards the swiper before I realized what I was doing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh yeah, Scandal was extra horrifying this week. Yikes. Did y'all see that they are cutting the season short? Apparently so they don't have to hide the pregnancy even more.

Because books.
Snowpocalypse indeed. I don't think they expected it to be snowing like *this*. Roads are closed and there are accidents all over, nothing's been brined or plowed. Yikes.
You know, I don't even watch Scandal, but I'm dying to know what happened in this scene that horrified everyone!

Sox, so glad you are all okay. Tell T I said you should get a Forester. He always appreciates my unsolicited advice.
