Y'ALL, IT'S SNOWING!!!!!! *stares out the window with googley eyes* SNOW! SNOW! SNOW! FALLING FROM THE SKY AND STICKING TO THE GROUND! That's...that's like...WHOA!

Okay, you Canadians (yeah, all 5 of you), go on and laugh your you-hoo's off at me. I'm like a kid who's never been to DisneyWorld before, when she first stares down Main Street. Mesmerized! It hasn't snowed like this since Thing 2 was a baby...and she'll be 17 in a week, so....

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

What-all should I cook (because snow makes me want to): Chili, of course, and hot chocolate with marshmallows, and beef stew in the crock pot to make the house smell all warm and homey, and what else? Hubby has to pass the grocery store on his way home from work, and they're gonna close his workplace at 1:00, so I can make a list for him and cook anything I want. Ideas???????????????? ([livejournal.com profile] zelda_zee, I'm lookin' at YOU!)

LOOK, [livejournal.com profile] cynthia_arrow, that's REAL SNOW! Come over to my house to play, and we'll have a snowball fight! ;) The rest of y'all Southerners, the party's at my house...except you can't come because Mama Allie won't allow you to risk your necks driving here. So it'll be a virtual party. Here, first we need a snowman:

we've never had snow where I live!

Please, have some of mine. The morons are predicting more s*** for the weekend, and given that the last lot of s*** still hasn't gone, I don't want it!

Ha! I'm still reading that as shit (sorry, Allie!).

I'm not sure they're morons; they're just doing the weather predictions with the material to hand; meteorology is so variable that it's hard for them to be 100% correct. Moron = the guy who didn't know what a sled is! (see comments above)

I'm with [livejournal.com profile] haldoor -- I'm conditioned to read s*** as "shit"! Because snow (forgive me for saying the bad word) isn't a bad word here! Unless you're one of the loonies who's planning to go to WalMart and buy 20 loaves of bread and 30 gallons of milk. Then you'll be stuck in crowds worse than the ones right before Christmas. Crazy fools. Unless they're predicting an ice storm (which we had once when I was away - in the Smoky Mountains where we had a ton of lovely, pristine mountain snow) - the hubby and kids were stuck in the house with no electricity and they were going hungry! Finally hubby piled them in the car and took them to stay at the Air Force Base, where everything was powered by huge generators, but it was a crazy thing to try to drive and his was the only car on the road. I guess it was the only thing he could do, though. Even if he'd bought 20 loaves of bread, who wants to be freezing their a**es off and eating bread and water? On lordy, I'm rambling...do you still have snow? We don't, so if you wanna send some my way, feel free! :)

It's going now, thankfully, and you can certainly have what's left of the crappy old slush! When we first got it, it was seen as a good word, but it went on for so long that everyone got fed up of it.
