DAY OFF!!!!

I understand the schools being closed but I DO NOT understand why my husband is working today and I am not.  Don't get me wrong, I am not disappointed, just dumbfounded!  What is going on here?

So, let's go back a few days.  It started early last week when the weather people started to tell us about a nor'easter coming our way.  Well, we all know those are bad.  But we also know that the weather people are always wrong.  So, first we hear 6".  Then we hear 6-10".  We non believers are scoffing.  It hasn't even started snowing yet and the numbers keep going up.

Finally, late Friday night, it start to snow, and snow some more, and then snow some more.  They are now saying 10-12".  Now it is Saturday afternoon.  The snow is higher than the dog and it has not even slowed down.  Now they say 12-20"  with a possibility of more.  Bottom line, they know NOTHING!  Once again.

Saturday night it finally stops.  Total for Columbia is almost 23 inches.  Dog is not that tall.  We see a problem but, smart me, I thought of a solution before all this started.  Frank laid a tarp on the deck so that the area right below the deck has virtually no snow!  Nestle has a place to go!  Granted she does not like it but after we let her out the front, and she refused to get off the porch, she sees the wisdom of the backyard.  Shih Tzus are so smart!

Thankfully I believed some of what the weather people were saying on Friday.  I left work early to go to Jane's.  I was afraid I would not get there on Saturday (turned out I was right) and everyone knows a woman NEVER misses a hair appointment.   So I may not have been able to go out all weekend, but my hair looked good.

No wedding on Saturday, no church on sunday.  Tracy did get married on Sunday with a lot less people in attendance.  Frank and I were digging out the cars when the message came about the wedding being on again.  Sorry we missed it.

Thankfully Frank made a grocery store stop Friday night so we had enough toilet paper et al.  We stayed home and watched Star Trek and Hangover.  Liked Star Trek not so much Hangover.  Some of it was funny but I think it was for a younger audience than us two fogies.

Between doing some knitting and shoveling out the car, my elbow is killing me.  Tennis/Knitting elbow stinks!  It actually burns when I straighten it.  Not pleasant.

Went to visit Dad on Friday night with library books.  I figured I might not see him on sunday.  Even if I could have gone to get him, I have no idea how he would have gotten into the house!  There is no path to the road since they plowed.  Steve and Sharon were there visiting dad so it was nice to see them.  I brought Nestle and she loved it.

I guess I will sit back and enjoy my very special day off.  My daughter in Pullman is laughing at me and my daughter in Houston is laughing harder.  It's good to know I am keeping them jolly!

Happy holidays to all!
