I was out and about when they announced a two hour delay for tomorrow. I kind of feel cheated by not getting the call in person. Nonetheless, I’m pleased they have called for the delay because the windchill temperature is already below zero degrees.
[Edit:Â As of 5:00am, it’s a full-on snowday.]
It’s a snowday! :cold: It’s also frigid out there. Not frigid, however is Lady Chatterley. Thanks to Jonas, my longest standing Amazon wishlist item is MINE! From the hundreds of screencaps I’ve seen of Sean Bean as Mellors, I can tell that it’s going to be amazing. I’m using the DVD as a reward for packing up the Christmas things and getting the kitchen back in order.
Thanks to Ben and Jesse, I am the extremely proud owner of the 2008 LOTR Wall Calendar, which now fetches $100 on the street. A three disc collection of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, Summer Rental, and Foul Play makes the holiday complete.
Thanks, guys! :clap:
Ben and Jesse made it down for my first ever New Year’s Bash. Yes, bash is too strong a word, but it was still great. The menu turned out to be quite an eclectic group of nibbly things. We had three types of hummus, warm pita, taco fiesta dip, salsa con queso and bean dip, veggie taquitos, pizza rolls, cheese sticks, cheese balls, celery, Mom’s homemade biscuits (my personal fave), ham, and for the meat eaters- little smokie pigs in blankets and the vegetarian, veggie weiner pigs in blankets. I made a pumpkin pudding trifle and a Reece’s dessert. We have so much food left. Come get some food. Please.
Hobbit spent much of the night being a lot more sociable than usual, but Istar must have fallen asleep under the bed; we didn’t see much of him at all. Even though Ben and Jesse were missing Jonas, they were great to Da Hobb–Ben didn’t even step on her 😛 We watched the ball drop, The Doctor Who Christmas Special, bits of a Radiohead performance, Di’s amazing vid “Scattered” (after finding out the lead singers of Radiohead and Muse are brothers), and some Project Runway episodes.
The forecast calls for up to a foot of snow, or alternately, flurries. I tend to believe the flurry forecast because we are looking at the bluest skies I’ve seen in a while. I’m still hoping for snow to go along with the cold. :cold:
