Winter Wonderland!

So we got some snow. Lots of snow. Be prepared for some pictures folks!

We were out Wednesday all day, for a snowstorm that had covered my driveway by 2:30 PM. To start: 

 I hit the gym. And Kroger. And Panera. And I made it home about 1 hr before this:

Seriously, snowflakes starting falling when I was 10 min from home. 1 hour on & my driveway was invisible. 

So the rest of the evening, after a couple of conversations verifying that folks got home okay, D & I spent the evening just relaxing. And watching a really terrible tv show about people that dig up ginseng in WV. 

We awoke to 

 

And 

And 

We spent a lot of the day digging out,, with a brief bit of time watching Blood Diamond. We borrowed a tractor for some of this

And, because it was a 2 phase storm, I had to redo these

Yes. That would be the car I had completely clean, and the concrete pad D had shoveled. Before we got several more inches of snow today!

 I also found time for 

Crock pot chili and 

Funfetti cupcakes! Calories don't count on snow days right?

All in all, we got about 17" of the fluffy white stuff! How'd you spend your day?

Currently: February

I haven't done one of these in a while, but I love when I remember to!

Listening	To Braveheart on AMC.  And an annoying noise saying that my external hard drive, you know, with everything I’ve ever done on it, isn’t working.  I even took it out and it’s still making that noise approximately every 10 seconds.
Loving	The snows that we have had lately!  Not that I’m loving how much work we’ll have to make up, but at least it’s been pretty!
Thinking	That my computer has a virus.  AGAIN.  It cost $100+ last spring to get it fixed, and I think it came back. I also think, despite being told it wasn’t there, that the source is on my external hard drive.  (Again, with my whole world on it)
Wanting	To pig out.
Needing	Not to pig out.  I’ve lost some weight this January, and I want to keep that up.
Favorite Things	1.    The Target Cartwheel app!  I saved about $5 on my last Target trip with it.  Thanks to Katie at See You There for that tip! 2.    The sort of mini commitment I’ve made to saving money lately.  And here’s a tip: Go through that Valpak thing in your mailbox & all those flyers in the middle of the neighborhood newspaper.  I saved $10 at Advance, $8 at Wendy’s, and $6 on a free snack food box.  3.    The game Guess the 90s.  It gives you a picture of something from the 90s & then you have to guess what it is.  Despite spending the majority of my school years in the 90s, I suck at it.  I blame this on having 5 channels growing up & being a country music fan.  Seriously though, it’s still pretty great!

Wanna join in?  You totally should.  Also, I apologize to the blogger who I stole this idea from, I don't remember who that was, but I think in one of my original blogs I gave you credit for it!
