Snow day...

This was pretty early on... maybe an hour after I'd dropped The Boy off at school.

Yuck.

Did I ever tell you how much I looooove snow? 

I LIED.

I am so not a fan.  I've been out to shovel twice, and will probably go out a few more times.  I gotta get the snow up off the driveway before I go get The Boy from school, so I don't pack the snow down farther.  I wrestled with icy tire tracks for quite a while this morning. Then, I'll pull back into the driveway when I get home, so that there's at least part of the driveway I don't have to shovel before The Honey gets home.  I'll probably shovel one last time right before he gets here.  Yay.

The Boy gets off of school one hour early today.  I'm not real sure what the point of that is, but that's ok.  At least I get him home earlier. :D  I'll be much happier when he's home and when The Honey's home.  I hate when they're out there with crazy driver people who freak out at snow.

Oops

Most exciting thing I did today was go surprise The Honey at work on his lunch break today... I took The Pup up to say 'hi' :D.  Should have taken the camera, but I totally spaced it.

I like to go surprise him there.  His days are stinkish and long, and I hate that he has to go there, so if I can surprise him and brighten a day a little bit, I love to do that.  :D

We went across the street and hit the Wendy's for lunch real fast and had a quick meal in the car, just to break up the yuckiness of the boringness of the day. 

I struggled back and forth today with a desire to do some baking... partly because I think it would be fun, and I know the guys would love to have that stuff around... and partly because I'd like to be able to play with some of my new Christmas gifts.   Like THIS:  

That thing is so cool.  I can't wait to play around with making all sorts of icing designs.  But alas.... I know that if I got started, I might never stop, and somebody has to EAT all of that stuff... I can't have it in my house with 6 months to the wedding.  So maybe not... for now.  LOL

I did it ;)

Um... let's just say 'duh'... and once I quit trying to be so smart, it was really easy to get those silly little widgets in here. 

So I added a wedding counter, too. 

Fun :D

Pretty simple day

No big deal today...

Slept in
Brunch (I LOVE making breakfastish stuff when my guys are home)
Yucky video game
Playoffs

I was washing dishes this morning, and had earphones in... was listening to the Les Miserables soundtrack, which I absolutely adore, and had kind of gotten lost in the music a little bit.  Standing at the sink, back turned to the house, lost in music, though, isn't always the best way to spend your time.  Completely independently, at separate times, each of my guys gave me a medium sized heart attack, just by walking in and trying to talk to me, assuming I could hear them coming.  I couldn't.  So all of a sudden, they'd be there, a foot behind me.  Holy cow, I'm surprised I didn't break half of our dishes this morning, lol.  The next time The Boy needed me, he came into the kitchen stomping his feet so that I'd know he was there.  That worked great, actually :D

I've been trying to figure out a way to put up my Goodreads stuff here on the blog... maybe then I'll keep that one up better too.  The only thing I've gotten up so far, though, isn't really what I wanted, though, because it doesn't seem to be updating.  Not sure if I'm gonna be able to get it to work the way I wanted.  We'll see.  I found the code... it SAYS just ad this gobbledygook to your site's HTML... but I know better than that.  You can't just put stuff anywhere you want.  It doesn't work that way, lol... and I have yet to figure out how to get it where I want it, and am not smart enough yet to be able to fix the errors it keeps throwing at me.

I'm kind of looking forward to watching that new show "The Cape" tonight... I'm getting more and more into the whole 'superhero' thing since I've met The Hubby... what's that say about me?  LOL.

Nothing too especially pictureworthy or original today, so here's just a shot of one of my favorite subjects:

Notice he's still sporting/supporting our Broncos on football Sunday, even though they're long out of it. :D

Back to work on that silly little widget.

Just when I think...

that we're not going to do anything picture-worthy today, The Honey goes and finds a video on How to Sound like Chewbacca.

ROFL.  We spent the next 10 min. practicing.  I, by far, am the worst at this, and quit even trying pretty quickly.  But here's the guys doing their Wookiee impressions.

The rest of the day was pretty simple... The Boy and The Friend played around... The Honey went to work this morning, like most Saturday mornings, and I chilled.  Then he came home around noon, and we spent the afternoon all hanging out.  The boys did their smack talking, and predicting, but nobody really thought the Seahawks would pull off that win, so that was pretty cool. 

Now The Boy's in bed listening to ESPN as he falls asleep, and The Honey and I are watching the Jets/Colts game.  This game's not nearly as fun to watch as the earlier game, but that's ok.  :D  Looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow, having The Honey home all day, making a nice brunch, and having more football to watch!

Oh, the indignity...

Today got off to a rough/slow start.  I woke up with the kind of headache that makes you want to curl up into a ball and forget that you exist.  That's what I did for the first few hours after I took the boy to school this morning... slept on the couch, nuggled up with the dog.  Headache hung in there, though, and didn't break until several hours after I'd gotten up and decided that I had to get moving, headache or not.

As for right now, The Boy's got a friend over, and they're off giggling in his room, so The Honey and I are chillin in the living room.  He's taking this rare kid-free time early in the evening to play his gross-out video game. 

I wouldn't post a pic of The Boy's friend here on the blog, so I'm going to cheat a little and post a pic of the way things go around here when he comes to play, but the pic is actually a bit of a cheat because it's from the LAST time he was here.

Living where we do now, we're likely to run in to Bengals fans... it's just a fact of life, and we try not to hold it against 'em... The Boy's best friend is a Bengals fan.  You should hear the smack talk back and forth between 10 year old fans of two 4 and 12 teams.  It's pretty bad.
Anyways, the last time he came over, The Friend brought his brand new Carson Palmer doll (action figure?  *in*action figure?  Who knows) to the house.  That couldn't be left alone... not in this house. Here's what good old Carson ended up looking like by the time he left:  Pay special attention to the improvement to his helmet :D  He'd have been wearing a whole Broncos uni, but then you wouldn't be able to tell who it was, lol.

 

 

Well...

It was bound to happen, but I'm sad that it only took me a week to forget to blog for a day.  I remembered last night as we were going to bed.  No way was I going to stall out the getting ready for bed process, though, so oh well.

I did manage to get a picture in the afternoon.  I just didn't get it posted or written about yesterday.

So here's my rant about this picture.  We had a *20*% chance of snow yesterday.  20!  Yeah.  That picture was after an hour... I'm thinking that our local meteorologist needs to go back to math class and learn a little bit about percentages and probabilities.  Last I checked, 20% meant something was pretty stinking unlikely to happen.  :(

Ok, I'm done.  Today's post will go up later.  I'm going to give the computer a little time to chill out... its fan is running pretty loud right this moment.
