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.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

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.

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.

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.

We went to Joshua Tree today, just for the day, which is perfect. All the NPs have Junior Ranger programs which our kids love. So we did that.
We also made Grace take a hike. There is a dam in the park with a little pool of water. It's about a 1.1 to 1.3 mile loop. It was hard for her, but we had a good time. Here's Grace at the beginning of the hike: [link] and Noah hamming it up: [link]
