Let it snow, let it snow...

I've heard as much as 13 inches is supposed to hit us by Wednesday morning.  Fun times.  Wouldn't be as bad, but that's following however much ice first.  Snow on top of ice=NOT a good driving time.  Thinking it may very well be a snow day on Wednesday.  I'm totally okay with that.  I normally try to make it to work, because really if I can make it to the highway, then I can probably make it into work.  Although with the last 10 inches we received, I decided that I just didn't want to dig myself out at 7 in the morning.  Is that wrong?

My favorite part of snow?  It just makes everything look so pretty & peaceful.  The fact that I can look at my windows at midnight & it looks like dusk is pretty cool too.  My least favorite part, minus the cold weather?  It tracks in the house.  Then when it melts, it becomes all gray & dirty & gross looking. 
So along with the predicted amount of snow, I think the birds are confused.  I've seen the geese heading north, and Robins are out.  Silly ole' birds.  Although I'm thinking this weather is for the birds.  Obviously.  haha

Full Contact Basketball?!?

So a double header tonight, both of which the boys won!  Woot woot!!  Oh my goodness some of those kids are agressive!  By the end of the 2nd game, I'm thinking football may be the safer bet.  At least they get to wear padding.  sheesh. 
3 or 4 kids on our team came out crying, luckily nothing serious, but dang.  Thinking full body armour may be needed at next week's games. 

Do you have the time?...

...to listen to me whine.  About nothing & everything all at once!  Well if that doesn't make you want to stop reading right now, I don't know what will. :)  Really it's a Greenday song that's stuck in my head.  Makes for a catchy title though, don'tcha think.

Although it does go with where my train of thought is tonight.  Scrapbooking & finding the time to do it.  Oh so many options out there--pretty papers, stickers, buttons, ribbons.  Most importantly the pictures that you transform into little storybook pages.  Some day I will have/make the time to do it.  I'm only 10 years behind thus far.  That's not bad.  Right?  Perhaps when I'm old & grayer than I am now.  :)

In other randomness...I played the Mega Millions lotto a few weeks back.  Nope didn't win.  Bummer.  Which is just as well, I'm not even sure I'd know how to act if I suddenly became a multi-millionaire.  Don't get me wrong, I'd most definitely give it a shot.  In all reality the thought alone freaks me out.  Enough to pay off all our debt & buy a house would be okay with me. 
I've decided (for today) that for our 15 year wedding anniversary, we should get bridal attire & take pics with us & the kids.  How fun & cute would that be!  I hate dresses, but I do love wedding gowns.  Anyhow, something fun to celebrate.  We'll see.  That's a couple years down the road yet. 

And that is me for today! 

And here I thought I always had something to say...

until I find an outlet to say it, and now...nothing.  Who would've thought?!?!  Well really I always have random thoughts, but now it's about what do I find interesting enough to post.

The crazy ways people park when there's snow on the ground?  Cause really, we all know there's 6 feet between cars on a normal day.  Nah, that makes me sound grumpy, which I'm not.  However I do think it would be hilarious to park sideways & take up 6 spaces.  Just sayin. 

I've never understood why misery likes company.  Wouldn't it make more sense if you're not happy, to find happy people & do what they do?? 

More snow is on the way here in the midwest.  I like snow.  I don't like the cold that comes with it & how it tracks into the house or freezes on the floor mats in the car.  It looks so pretty though when everything is all white & fresh looking.

I've come to realize that apparently I'm clenching my teeth a lot lately.  No real reason for it, but dang if my jaw doesn't hurt a lot.

& now for happy thoughts since the above seem kind of grumpy, though they're really not.
~~water aerobics sounds like fun.  Now if I could only force myself to the pool at 7 am...during the summer of course.
~~South Park has got to be one of the "worst" shows on tv, and yet I find it to be incredibly funny, though wrong. 
~~My pumpkin cake I made last night was delish!  And since it had pumpkin & eggs in it, I'm going with it being a healthy snack. :)

Fascination with Gadgets

Kitchen gadgets always grab my attention.  Not because I have any desire, what-so-ever, to use them, but in my mind, I would use this one.  I won't and I know this, but it doesn't stop me from thinking I need it. 
Take for example, the food buffets.  How cool are those?!?  3 separate crockpots in one handy little, organized server.  Awesome!!  I would totally use that!  Ummm...yeah, no I won't.  I don't have dinner parties & for us, I'm pretty sure we don't need three crockpots of queso.  Fun idea though.
Still they (sellers of such gadgets) try to sucker me into buying.  I will be strong & not buy unnecessary items...today.  No guarantee for tomorrow.

My First Attempt at a blog...

So I've decided that I need a creative outlet for my random, sometimes odd thoughts.  Because really, as fascinating as I think I am, I do believe sometimes I have a tendency to bug the same people over and over.  :)  Shocking to those who know me, I'm sure. 
There you have it.  Prepare to be both amazed and enlightened, I'm sure.  :)  And yes, I totally over use the " :) ".  I'm happy, what can I say.
