Missing the Blizzard

So this probably seems silly, but even though I am quite happy to be here in Idaho spending Christmas vacation with my family, I am kinda bummed that we are missing the craziness back there in Virginia! I've never been in a blizzard, and tho I am sure it's a big pain in some ways, I wish it had waited until we were back home for New Years!

It's probably not going to be a White Christmas here... right now it's just gray, with a 'slight' chance of snow for next week. Oh, well, at least we can leave the house, huh?!

If I don't get back here before the big day....

Merry Christmas to you all!! Be safe if you are in Virginia or other areas affected by the "Blizzard of '09".... and remember -

Christ the Saviour is Born!!

What to see what you're missing here in VA, just visit my blog - so far we have about 18 inches and it's suppose to continue to fall through the night. Merry Christmas in Idaho.

Merry Christmas to y'all in Idaho!
One of the prettiest states in the US, we visited it twice this past summer and fall!

The Players in this Show

Me, Ann, the mum. Housewife slacker, (I understand the concept of cooking and cleaning - just not how it applies to me...) Mess-maker extraodinaire, Homeschool teacher, biggest lover of the pets.
Alan, the dad and husband. Smart, sensitive (but wouldn't want you to know that!) Motorcycle rider (think canyon racing crotch-rocket, not Harley) maker of the money, keeper of the reason, begrudging lover of the pets.
Kiwi, the greatest girl ever. Not her real name, but someone truly thought we named her that! So it's been a great nickname. 13 years old, incredible imagination, likes fairies and dragons. Current obsession - all things Narnian. And stuffies...needs lots and lots of stuffies to cuddle. Her best friend is her horse stuffie, nearly loved to death over the last 9 years. Doll collector. Has the gift of friendship, and the trial of anxiety. A lover of the pets, but they think she's on their level.
Merry, the girlie dog. Born on Christmas Eve, stuck in mama too long, has brain damage. Half yellow lab, half golden retriever, full sweetie. Smart but incredibly silly. Some would call her stupid, but it isn't so. Softest dog ever.
Matt the Cat, provider of entertainment, snatcher of ponytail elastics ("hairdoobies" at our house) which he stores in his food dish. Along with Polly Pocket clothing. Runt of his litter. Thinks he's tough, but we're onto him. Except for Kiwi, who keeps getting her ankles bit.

From West to East and back again ~ Weird stuff I have noticed

Now we are back in the West - YeeHawww!!
All the notes below are what we experienced in the East... Things are DIFFERENT there!
Even stuff that is the same, is different - like, Yoplait yogurt; no one carries my fave flavor - Mountain Huckleberry. Guess that's a western thing? And butter (and margarine) - here, even the familiar brands, they all come in long, skinny cubes... out west the cubes are shorter and fatter. Same brands - made different. Why?? That is WEIRD.
Humidity - You sweat more - much more - you are still flippin' hot. Sweat works better out west! It evaporates, you cool off..... here, you sweat, you get.... sweaty.
People are grumpy here. I've seen 3 people go into tirades at the market.... some folks need to CHILL.
Deer are everywhere! We see them every single day, at least one, just munching on the side of the road. Weird, maybe, but very very cool!
