Blizzard 2010

With my current state of mind being trapped in the old place alone or the new place with a stranger during a blizzard was not looking like a good plan. I was during to have a mental breakdown. So I went and stayed with Kathy and Saureen during the storm, knowing full well I'd get stuck there. I'm finally out and back to my own place...though half of my stuff is still at the old house so I keep finding missing things, like I only have one scarf here and it's kind of wet right now. I am in a terrible mood, but know I would have been much worse if I hadn't been with friends the last few days. No on should get this much snow (somewhere between 27 and 38 inches reported...not sure where I fall but it was above my knees...I could have been lost forever!) and we have more on the way.

We had computers and alcohol, so for awhile we were ok being stuck inside.


We found time to cook and bake! Lasagna, gooey butter cake, shrimp creole, shrimp dip (meant for the super bowl party that had to be canceled since the street wasn't plowed)

It was of course beautiful and enjoyable for some time.


Then we realized we had to dig out...and the monster outside was pretty scary.








After shoveling, there was no energy for a full snowman, so we made a face in the mound of snow.
