Snow? Here?? Seriously???

Earlier this week...Tuesday, I think...the local weather guys and gals began to clamor about the WHITE STUFF. That's all well and good except they were saying that the snow wasn't due to arrive until the weekend. They said we should all get prepared...three days in advance? It's just not done in this area. Now, had this been a different time of the year and they were spouting the virtues of hurricane preparedness - well, then we would have sat up and took notice. But I digress...Anyway, not very many people took them seriously. Not just because it was so early but because the last time they called for snow it didn't even rain...not even a little...heck it wasn't even really cold. So what did most of us do with this latest prediction??? Ignore it.

So by Thursday, the weather folks were still calling for snow. So I checked the national weather forecast and they were calling for at least 6 inches with potential for 10. Okay, so now a few of us at work decided that it was time to maybe take this a bit more seriously. I spent Thursday afternoon in the supermarket - along with most of the city. Searching the shelves for bread, milk and eggs. Why is it that the mention of snow sends folks scurring to the stores for bread, milk and eggs? I mean really, people, what are you going to make - french toast? bread pudding?  So did I buy bread, milk and eggs? WHAT? OF COURSE I DID! (SMILE)

Friday night, well the local weather guys hadn't changed their story - except to say that they were pretty certain this was going to happen this time but not until about 10 p.m. By 7 p.m., this is what I saw outside my window:
So, certainly not 6 inches, but wait...the latest reports said there was more to come...significantly more. So, I figured I'd wait and see what tomorrow would bring. And this is what I saw in the morning:
Ok, so maybe they got this one right. Did I mention that it's supposed to snow again today? Oh boy! French toast for everyone!!!

Puzzle

Sometimes we don't know what we want. Heck, most of the time we barely know what it is we need. So, isn't it amazing then that when we find it, stumble across it or when it finds us, it is basically immediately clear that it is in fact what was needed, what was wanted? Like, say you're putting together a puzzle. Perhaps it's one with oh let's say a thousand pieces (whew that's ALOT)                                                                                                                                                    http://clipart-library.com/jigsaw-puzzle.html You start with the edges putting them together and b...

Look before you eat...

Hello folks! This is NOT the Super Bowl party snack post. (check back tomorrow for that one). But it is related to food (smile) This post is a cautionary tale about food - specifically MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU EAT IT! A friend and coworker of mine visited an establishment who was offering FREE bagels today. How wonderful! I really enjoy bagels from this particular restaurant. And who doesn't like. FREE, right?Well, imagine her surprise when she reached into her a bag for delightful wheel of bready goodness and finds a little something extra: The heck is THAT??!?!?!! What do you think this something extra is? (no, I'm not talking about the raisin) Look closely at the top of the bagel. Do you see those tawny colored rope-y looking things? I was hoping it was a piece of the paper bag the company put her FREE bagels in. But honestly, she I both had the same thought - "It looks like strands of WEAVE/BRAID EXTENSIONS!!!" GASP! My buddy was not ...

Cast Off

Letting go isn't always an easy thing.  It is most times, well, a necessary thing...of course necessary has nothing to do with easy.  How many of you are currently in a relationship? No, not with chocolate or alcohol but an actual relationship with another person? They text you or call you every day several times a day...you're making plans to see them before you even finish with one date...you miss them when your time together for that date is drawing to an end...you see them walking towards you and you can't help but smile, waiting for that hug, that kiss...you have so much fun with them you can't imagine them not being around... Fun stuff right? (Ok well most of the time it is - if not, get out but that's a post for another time)  Ok so for all the currently boo'd up readers, is this your first relationship? Hmm, I'm guessing probably not - at least for most anyway. So at some point you were head over heels for someone else. Each day you woke up excit...
