What did I do to deserve this?

[clevermanka]

We got another two (ish) inches of snow last night.

I had to leave a rocking party in Merriam early last night because snow was accumulating in Lawrence and I was worried about K-10 if I waited too long. I missed out on the chili feast with people I usually only get to see a few times a year. Sadness.

And now I gotta don boots and winter gear to go shovel this morning. Talk about insult to injury.

I'm ready for winter to be over. Really really ready.

UPDATE: Wow it's cold out there. Nine degrees, windchill -5. Seemed like more than two inches of snow, too. And while I was out there, I realized it is still coming down.

It's certainly coming down here. There is a new cover of white over the nasty, icy, crusty stuff. At least I don't have to go anywhere today. tomorrow is a dentist day again -- broke more teeth while John was in the hospital. I need a mouth guard.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Poor thing. =(

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

Yow - I hope your appointment goes without hitch.

And enough of all of this!

[kalimeg.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure it will. My dentist makes his own crowns, so I don't have to go out for them.

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

That's good news!

We have been lucky for a long time. We now have had a winter that is truly winter.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's a "true winter" for people in Canada (whom, I should note. are getting less snow).

A friend of mine in Canada had to deal with -56 degrees a few weeks ago. She was doing laundry, and her dryer stopped working. She looked in there and her clothes had frozen together in one big lump.

Mac is shoveling this time. I'm surprised I haven't fallen yet. Our driveway becomes a Death Trap of Ultimate Doom when it is icy and snowy.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Oh my god. Tell me that's with windchill.

Also, your driveway scares me in good weather.

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

I can't imagine what joy that mountain of ice must be right now. Be safe, you guys.

Winter, whether true or not, sucks balls. To the equator!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Preach it, sister.

[normalcyispasse.livejournal.com]

I am tremendously happy to not be living in Kansas right now.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

The sidewalk I shoveled less than three hours ago? I can't see it anymore.

[normalcyispasse.livejournal.com]

If you get a vacation. . . well, we're expecting temperatures in the 70s this week.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Because we've had so many complications with application packages this year, I'm probably going to postpone my vacation. *sigh*

[normalcyispasse.livejournal.com]

Well, bollocks to applications.

I remember well winter in Lawrence, and riding my bicycle everywhere in the snow and ice. The Phoenix area isn't perfect by any means, but hey, no more snowstorms!

[solan-t.livejournal.com]

And STILL snowing.



I swear, this is Not My Fault.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

This is just crazy. Really.

[nataliesee.livejournal.com]

It might be my fault. I asked it to stay snowy until I return from Mexico.

I am so happy. :D :D :D

[shrijani.livejournal.com]

So YOU are to blame! Feel free to come shovel my drive.

[nataliesee.livejournal.com]

I'll happily take the blame, but I wouldn't deprive you of your own snow. ;)

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

The only thing keeping you alive right now is my love for you. And a little bit of my fear of Tess.

[nataliesee.livejournal.com]

A winning combo!

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

Enough of that, sister.

[nottygypsy.livejournal.com]

The chili was awesome, but we ate and RAN. Drive home for PDA was a little harry.

We've canceled today's girls lunch too. AND I left all my cheese over there so I can't make a snow day quiche! BOO.

Stupid Snow!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I think we should have henna day over there until the temperatures are regularly above 50F. What do you say? I had such fun! Also, warm garages are warm.

[nottygypsy.livejournal.com]

I would be ok with that, but I was also thinking we could just put down paper and henna in our kitchen too.
Which ever.

[shrijani.livejournal.com]

It's supposed to snow AGAIN on Wednesday. Where the hell is all of this coming from?

I fucking hate it.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Where the hell is all of this coming from?

The bowels of hell. And, apparently nataliesee's unfair and evil whims. She is so not getting any of the remaining bread pudding.

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

It's certainly not my fucking fault. I bought a new warm coat AND boots.
And we all know that preparation means it won't happen.

Who kept playing White Christmas, that's what I want to know!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

=D

[bestill.livejournal.com]

I AM OH SO READY for this winter to be over. At least the freaking cold.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

And I don't think it's going to get better anytime soon.

*looks outside*

Yeah. Not anytime soon at all.

[bestill.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm wondering how long my bottle of sake will last. Or If I should make a run for it and get more while I can. Everything seems better after sake.
