We are now looking at rain until about 9pm.
Someone - I think aurelia? - mentioned this thing from Thinkgeek [link] and now my kids are running around the house pretending to be video game heroes and cowboys.
Jayne: We was just about to spring into action, Captain. Complicated escape and rescue op. Wash: I was going to watch. It was very exciting.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Raining here.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
No longer snowing here, but the wind is still blowing it around a lot. Only 4.5 inches total by my measure, but I'm glad I don't have to be out in it today. [link]

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My stretch teacher uses coconut oil as a sunblock.
Based on previous experience, coconut oil is not an effective sunscreen, despite what the interweb says. At least, not for melanin-challenged people like me.
It's raining and just above freezing. This probably means icy sidewalks tomorrow morning.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh yeah, I should go outside and scrape down the sidewalk etc. while it's close to freezing, before it starts raining. Instead, I am doing laundry and making soup! It's a good thing I'm just making the soup for me, because I lost the label off the broth in my freezer, so I'm 90% sure it's veg broth, but not 100% sure.

OK, so I removed some of the last bits of snow off the sidewalk and driveway, thereby ensuring that it will in fact be warm and rainy enough to get rid of all of it before it freezes again. You are welcome!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I just shoveled for the second time. About another 4 inches had fallen since the last time I was out.
Also, it sounds like everything around here is going to be closed through Tuesday, because of the beastly cold on top of a huge amount of snow. I have a feeling I'll be working from home tomorrow at least.

It sounds terrifying out there! Stay safe.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
The snow is deep enough here we had a bit of trouble finding a place where the dog could cross the street this morning. Six more inches by nightfall, and then the cold sets in. High of minus 12 tomorrow. Oy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Goodness. Stay warm and safe everyone!
I am also doing laundry, yee-haw.
