So, for anyone who hasn't been watching the news, there's been some pretty wicked weather going through most of the U.S.(thunder-snow, anyone? Yes, it happened. At night, though.) There has been some snow.
This much snow.
We have had some of the coldest nights here in 15 years. The roads have been all icy and frozen and so things have been shut down for days at a time. So what does one do when they're stuck in the house for several days(assuming your pantry is adequately stocked.)?
~bake cookies. Promptly hide half the cookies(the ones with white chocolate chips and craisins) from T.J.
~bake scones.
~have a tea party with said scones.
~watch Food Network. Remember how creepy you find Ina Garten. Count how many times Giada squeezes the juice out of lemons.
~Plan your next trip to Target(Three day without Target! A personal record)
~knit
~go outside to take pictures. Promptly come back inside because it is too frickin' cold.
~wonder what the temperature is outside. Check. about 18 degrees.
~knit some more.
~curl your hair.
~be a camera whore.
~contemplate homework.
~watch lots of movies(Casablanca, Alice in Wonderland[the new one, which i happen to like.], the Bourne Identity...etc...)
~bake more cookies when the others run out.
~ dye yarn with kool aid! (yay! great fun!)
~research how to use and make a drop spindle to spin your own yarn. Promptly go out and buy the necessary materials at the first opportunity. Make dad make you a spindle.
~Talk to the cat.
~Sew(if you're Mom)
~Make tiny buildings(if you're Dad.).
~Be really really bored(if you're T.J.)
We've all been managing the weather here. It's almost been a good thing(I get to sleep in. Mom gets to sew.) But after a while it can get a little boring. So we say welcome to the warmer weather. We hope it stays, but you never know in Texas....
