We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I had a nice hike with a friend (2nd year in a row, so now it's a tradition), and then we had tea, and now I'm doing laundry and will get some groceries to make a pot of cassoulet, which should be a good healthy way to start the year off.

And no wine! I'm off alcohol for the month of January; and it will be easier because my sister is doing it too.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I have a black-eyed pea salad for dinner, and will be cooking a pork tenderloin about 30 minutes from now. I feel prepared for the year.

Well, as prepared as one can be with 3 to 7 inches of snow expected overnight.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

We did some desperately needed clean up in the house this morning, and then ee had thessaly and Victor over for pickies this afternoon. We used a groupon for dinner at our local Mexican restaurant (it was about to expire, so that was a good excuse to go out). I'm quite tipsy from the margarita I had.

We're expecting a lot of snow tomorrow, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the town he works at gets shut down for the day.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I had a pomegranate margarita last night and it was very tasty.

Apparently I'm tipsy enough that I thought I was in Bitches. Hi, Natterers! Maybe I should try to post here more in 2014.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Jesse, you've inspired me to buy this for me and this for the kids. As my grandmother keeps reminding me, Facebook is not a baby book.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am glad that things I am aware of, but don't actually do, are inspirational! You should probably actually be inspired by lisah....

So, the local schools just cancelled for tomorrow and Friday. I wonder if I'll have a snowday Friday! We're only supposed to get a foot, so I'm betting no.

Ah, that's what I get for being a skimmer. Sorry, lisah!

Hahahah! (Also--"only" a foot of snow?!?!)

I am being lazy and not even enjoying it that much. Though I finally figured out I should really take a painkiller to make my legs stop hurting. Also, USA, why a Law and Order marathon TOMORROW? I want it TODAY, not NCIS.
