And So It Continues...
It's still frigging freezing, and it is still snowing. Thankfully it's a relatively light snowfall, but it's steady, so the white shit is accumulating. The roads are also getting icy, which makes it interesting to drive. Not that I find it that bad, but the way some people are driving, it's pretty unnerving on the roads.
"Does she have pictures of this new accumulation of snow?" my fair readers ask.
"Well of course I do! Would I let you down by not taking more pictures?" I reply. "Here ya go!"
More white shit. I have to admit, it sparkles real pretty...
And yet more pretty sparkly white shit.
It's even settling in on the trees now. We're doomed.
The shovels are getting excited again, though. They seem to be quite pleased with the new batch of snowflakes.
"Yay! More snow to play in! Look at Gramps hiding behind the cardboard, though - I told you he couldn't hack it anymore!"
Misty is a happy camper. She loves the snow, and it doesn't seem to matter how cold it is outside - she could stay out there and play in it for hours if I let her. Silly girl.
Hey Mom! I like this stuff!
C'mon and lay in it with me Mom! It's fun! And look - it sparkles real pretty too!
Yeah, yeah, Misty. Whatever. Oh all right. Yes, it DOES sparkle real pretty. But I am NOT going to go lay in it with you, thank you very much.
C'mon Mom! Let us in - it's cold out here! Aw, put the camera down and let us in! Lady, I think it's your turn to fix the cyborg eye on Mom...
Well, that's about it for pictures, folks. I know, it's disappointing. I'm sure you just can't get enough of looking at all these snow pictures. Not to worry, one of these days I'll take pictures of something else to post. What, I'm not sure yet. But I'll think of something. Until then, you're stuck with these!
It's supposed to keep freezing and snowing through the weekend, then it's supposed to warm up considerably during the week. As a matter of fact, they're calling for rain next Thursday. Now, if people think the driving conditions are getting interesting now, just wait until it rains. Mind you, the weather forecast can change more often than I change my underwear (no comments from the Peanut Gallery on that, thank you), so for all I know we could end up at -40C (-40F) with a raging blizzard by Thursday. Ooooooooooooh. Sorry, God, I take that back. Honest, I was only joking. :D
Let's see, anything of interest to report today? Oh, yeah. I was unplugging my camera after downloading the pictures, and the cable slipped, resulting in the camera dropping to the floor before I could catch it. Scared the beejeezus out of me! I had a fairly cheap digital camera that I just barely bumped (and I do mean just barely), and the LCD screen broke. So I was quite freaked about my new less cheap camera hitting the floor. Thankfully all seems to be well though. Guess it goes to show that you get what you pay for, no? I have to say my heart's still not quite settled down after that one!
I was just debating what on earth I was going to have for dinner. I really didn't feel like cooking, what with it being Friday night and all, but I wanted something more substantial than toast. And trust me, I didn't even feel like cooking toast! It's pretty bad when making toast or opening up a can of soup and nuking it is too much work, isn't it? LOL! Anyhow, I remembered that I had some frozen french fries in the freezer (I guess that's kind of the obvious spot for them, now that I think about it - mind you, they'd keep nicely outside right now too), so I decided to throw some of them in the toaster oven along with a few chicken fingers.
I don't usually eat french fries. I think it's mainly because the ex used to eat them all the time - he'd have had them for every meal if I had let him. So we used to eat them way too often for my liking, and I got to the point where I couldn't stand them. I used to cook two separate meals so that I didn't have to eat french fries. That was back in the day when I was young and really dense. Trust me, that would not happen now. Anyone in the house would damned well eat what I cooked, and be happy with it. None of that restaurant style ordering shit nowadays.
Anyhow, as I was saying, I don't usually eat french fries. But every now and then I get a hankering for them. They have to be the shoestring kind though - not the big fat ones. Ick. So awhile back I was perusing the frozen veggies and such and spied a bag of frozen shoe string french fries. Yeah, I know - logical place for them. I got them, had them once, and then forgot all about them. So it was kind of a nice surprise to remember them tonight. A nice hot comfort meal on a frosty winter's eve. And yes, Brooke, it IS winter. Maybe not technically, but trust me, around here winter usually hits a heck of a lot earlier than December 21!
As there is no more fascinating news to tell you, I guess I'll wander off and check out some other blogs while I'm waiting for din-din to finish cooking. So have a great night all, and stay warm and safe!

Oy vey!! I don't really want to be out of bed already (6 a.m.) and going to work on a frosty Saturday! Quit scaring me with the rain shit next week. Yeesh, talk about icy conditions if that happens. Where do you think we live, Ottawa???
I like the doggie and snow pics even if there ARE some weird ass dogs with cyborg eyes posing as your doggies. And what the hell....from now on, you're not to handle a camera unless it has a neck strap on it and is safely attached to your body!! Geez woman if you'd broke that one already I'd have to say, "no more cameras for Pammie!" I'm glad it's not broken though. :)
I have to go wake up now. There's no way in hell I'm attempting eye makeup with lethal mascara wands when I'm this sleepy. Have a good day, stay warm!
Thanks Tracey! They ARE adorable little critters, but then I'm a wee bit biased... hehehehe And "nasty, nasty, nasty, ick!!!!!" is right! Well, it LOOKS beautiful, I'll give it that - but that's about it!
Judy, "what the hell" is right too! LOL! I was horrified - I have been SO careful, although I always AM careful with cameras. But I was being so much more careful than usual with this one. Hell, I even still keep it in the bubble wrap that it was nestled in originally! The cable had an odd twist in it, and because the camera's a bit on the heavy side, I guess it just had the right combination to make it flip over. Ugh. I am VERY glad it survived the fall! Whew!
