Yeah. It’s a stormy Thursday and all I wanna do is stay in bed.

Thankfully yesterday was gorgeous and I got to hang by the pool for a couple of hours with my friends. I enjoyed it tremendously.

Okay and let me just tell you, I don’t know when my hair went from a small showing of roots to OH MY DAMN I HAVE ROOTS THAT NEEDED TO BE COLORED 3 WEEKS AGO! Calling Katie-of-the-Hair today.

Did I mention how excited I am about going to see Harry Potter this summer?

I’m also Ogrely excited about the new Shrek movie coming out this weekend.

Clementine the new kitty is no longer pregnant and there are no kittens to be found. I’m sure she was so malnourished when she found us, the babies died. Sad really…but it’s time to get her fixed. Which might put an end to her good mood, but I really don’t care.

Also, I wanna know who on earth is googling Monkey MILF and what exactly you think that is? Do monkey’s have MILFs in their society? Would it be a MMILF? Monkey Mom I’d Like to ….

Alrighty then. That’s about all I got for ya today. Sorry to be so boring, but sometimes a girl just doesn’t have anything to say. No really. It’s true.

Storms are moving in and hopefully will be washing away all this pollen. This will be our first stormy weather in the new casa for me and the boys. Should be interesting. And fun. I’m in the mood for some pissed off weather. Sometimes nothing is better than a good spring storm.

Since we’re working on cutting costs, we have a digital converter box for the TV so we can watch local stations. I’m obviously converter-box impaired because I can’t get the thing hooked up. I have never had this problem before! I read directions. I read diagrams. I try to do just as I’m instructed. SO WHY CAN’T I HOOK THE STUPID THING UP? Hoping my bro will have better luck with it.

Think we’re going to a movie this weekend. Ian wants to see Kick Ass so I’m sure that’s what I’ll be forced to endure watching tomorrow. Unless I can talk him into seeing Date Night. I mean, it’s Tina Fey and Steve Carrell. How could we go wrong with that???

any big plans this weekend?

um…where’d you go spring?

Internet,

I was so distraught yesterday when I went outside because it was fargin’ cold! And I was all “you fargin’ ice hole winter! go away!” and winter was like, “no.”

Saturday I walked over 5 miles and got a little bit of sun. I wore a tank top and shorts for Vitamin D’s sake! It was near 70 degrees. And yesterday? It snowed in parts of Arkansas. Like snowed lots. And I thought for a brief, terrifying moment that the snow was gonna visit us for a little bit and in that moment, my spring-like life passed before my eyes.

So today it’s still kinda cold. And wet but it’s supposed to warm up and dry up. And tomorrow it will be near 70 again, so I will be near bliss again. But still, this is not how I wanted to start toward the end of THE MONTH OF MEL!

Today was almost a very bad morning. Guess what I almost did? I almost ruined my day by grabbing the box of Kosher Salt instead of the Raw Sugar (because let’s face it, everything is better in the raw) for my coffee. Um, yeah, can you imagine how not yummy that would’ve been? Thankfully the coffee gods tapped me on the shoulder just as I was about to pour the salt into my yummy morning nectar of wakefulness. Coffee Salvation was had by me!

This is spring break for the boys and I’m pretty sure they thought they were gonna nerd out and play video games all day, every day. But I’m kind of a bitch and have taken the cords away because they haven’t cleaned up the man cave (aka the penis cave) and they haven’t cleaned up their rooms…so until they do, no video games/computer for you! Hah! Torturing the chillrens is fun! I figure if I’m gonna pay for their therapy eventually, then maybe I should give them something to talk about.

Happy Monday Internet! Got big plans today? What did you do over the weekend?

stuck inside

We have about 6 inches of snow on the ground. It was the good kinda snow–see?


But then the snow turned to about 3 hours of rain, so all that good snow is now hard as a rock. And we’re kinda stuck. We live on a hill and our driveway is so steep that if I try to back out, I’ll just start sliding and probably won’t stop until I’m in my neighbor’s living room. So we’re sticking this one out today while the sun works on melting the stuff away. I don’t know how my friends in the Northeast are handling more than 2 feet. I love snow, but it rarely lasts more than a couple of days here. 2 feet would bury us alive.

wow. that was a surprise!

I went to bed early last night. (Didn’t even finish watching the Super Bowl. I was so tired. But I knew the Saints were gonna win so I didn’t have to watch…)

I woke up this morning to snow. Who knew? Not me, said the flea.

Not sleet.

Not ice.

Snow. Real, snowman-making snow.

And it’s still coming down. I was so shocked!!

so was Ruby:
She’s not so sure about all this…

Anyway, it was a great surprise. We just had no idea this was gonna happen. Made my Monday a great day!

Now, we didn’t get over 2 feet of snow like my friend Amanda did, but hey, we’ve got 2 inches and it’s still coming…so who knows where it will stop?

The snow finally came Friday. But not until it was dark. We had at least 4 hours of nonstop sleet prior to the fluffy stuff, so when the snow finally did start falling, it had at least an inch of solid ice to stick to.


We had to get creative with our sledding because we don’t get much snow here, so we don’t have sleds.

so we used boxes

I was a snow bunny for a day

and my oldest was too cool for pics…as usual. He tried to hide, but I caught him a time or two.


so we’ve had our winter storm and now I’m ready for spring.

Oh and can you believe it’s February 1st? Where the heck did January go!!!!

I want a Snow Day.

Yup. There. I said it out loud so now I’ve surely jinxed myself.

Here’s the thing, we’ve had 3 winter storm warnings this season and we’ve had ZERO in accumulation.

Yup. Zip.

Zero.

Zilch.
Nada.

Negatory.

Kein.

Donut Hole.

Null.

You get the picture yet?

I think this time is gonna be different. I think we’re gonna get some sleet and some snow. I think the schools will be out and I will be able to sleep in. I will stay in my jammies, drink hot tea, and write tomorrow.

This is called the power of positive thinking. And it’s gonna work. It has to. Because I really don’t feel like dealing with reality if it doesn’t.

In other news, I’ve been invited to join a group blog with several other debut authors. I’ll be posting there from time-to-time and will be sure to let you know when I’m sharing extra words of wisdom. Meanwhile, add them to your daily blog trolling!

There’s no typo in that title. Nope. Not at all. After all the “snow” hype all week long; after braving the snowstorm crowd at Kroger last night (I needed beer. Can’t get ‘snowed’ in without beer) After getting my hopes up that maybe–JUST MAYBE–we’d actually see some of the white stuff…

I woke up to nothing.

Nada.

Zip. Zero. Zilch.

Monday’s sad little snow was actually a blizzard compared to what we woke to today.

All we have is cold. Bitter, windy, subzero cold.

If it’s gonna be this cold, there should at least be some snow on the ground.

Oh wait! There is! about 30 minutes north of us they got snow. And to the east of us. But our little section of central Arkansas was robbed!

Even Oxford, MS got snow! We never got snow when I lived there.

So it must be me. The snow avoids me. Fine. Be that way. I’ll move somewhere tropical then.

I know some of y’all are snowed in and sick of the stuff. Hell, there’s one city in New York that has 55 inches of snow! (that’s a bit much for me.) But since we rarely ever see powder, we really want it when it’s predicted. That’s okay. We’ll get some eventually. After I move to the Keys I’m sure…

reginerating brain cells

We only thought we were cold at the Liberty Bowl.

It’s freezing in Central Arkansas right now, with no relief in sight for a few days. and we have another possiblity of sleet/snow, but I’m a little skeptical. Mainly because I want it to happen so badly, that I know it won’t.

Here’s hoping for a big blanket-of-snow surprise tomorrow.

I have a headache today and I can’t seem to shake it. Not sure if it’s the weather or just my state of mind. Even the miracle cure of BC Powder and a Coke Zero didn’t work. I think my brain cells are punishing me for making them watch The Bachelor: On the BOOBS of Love and Conveyor Belt of Love on Monday night.

And then yesterday, I topped it off with a couple of episodes of Jersey Shore–because I just wasn’t feeling stupid enough.

Here’s a fun little spoof of Jersey Shore that is sadly, quite accurate. This is NSFW and not safe for anyone under 17. You have been warned.
