This is the first post from the new Sidekick! You can’t even tell, can you?
Ice, Ice Baby
Hey, I’m finally able to see the little birdies on my birdie feeder this morning! Of course, my ability to see that is based on the fact that I’m completely iced-in right now. Boy, this is fun. Not.
I’m on cup of coffee number two, have been working (on job stuff) since about 7:30 this morning, and the boy is entertaining himself pretty well. Ya, that’s right, no school today. Boy, THAT is a surprise. You mean they don’t want to send the kids out in big top-heavy busses with no seat belts on the sheets of ice trying to pass as roads? Huh. Well, that’s a good thing!
When the wind blows through the trees they smash and it kind of sounds like hail. I don’t see anything broken out there, which is good.
Back From the North Pole
No, really. My sister’s gift to us was a trip up to North Conway NH to take the Polar Express train ride to the North Pole to see Santa! It was an unbelievable trip, and I think we are very very lucky they included us. Junior had the BEST time, and cried his head off when we had to part at the end of the weekend.
Me, I’m ticked at the snow. Yea, more snow. Yea. Once again, we were supposed to go buy our Christmas tree and a storm screwed up the plans. At this rate, we’ll be setting it up and taking it down on the same day. I’m not happy. But what are you going to do? I mean, I can’t make it stop snowing.
I’m not happy that we’re going to get another 14 or so inches of snow. 3-4 would be okay, really. But 14? No. Just no.
Geez, I knew we shoulda bought a fake tree.
Couple Quick Things
I guess nobody uses the permalinks because the code has been broken for about 2 weeks now. It’s fixed, just for the record. (Next time, TELL me when something is broken, ‘kay?)
Oh, and a biggie – Santa Dump, without even reading the entry where I was all grumpy about Christmas, did the very thing I said I wished someone would do – get me a gift that I really want without me asking for it, to surprise me. Man, I got surprised but good. And the only reason I know about it is because he got nervous that come payday, I was going to buy the thing for myself. Which I was.
