Not if you lose power. And that is what we are facing. 3 ft of snow with hurricane force winds. Not pretty.

No. That is not fun.

But wasn't it you that just got all that firewood? I was thinking it is. If so you have heat, a place to cook and light if the power goes out.

A lot wont have that.

You did get the marshmallows, chocolate bars and graham crackers, right?

Yes I have a wood burning fireplace. But better than that I have neighbors with whole house generators. Pretty sure if I ask them to help me keep my bacon wrapped scallops and wine stash safe, we will be invited over. biggrin At least that is my blizzard survival plan.

I've never had a S'more. They look yucky.

Thanks for the prayers BTW. Sucks to lose power. That is my biggest stress item right now. I need to nap as I will be up all night snow blowing and shoveling.

They are awesome. I still have some left from the kit I bought for the cottage this past summer. O4 should remember that.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

S'mores are the best thing. We will make them in the microwave.

Cant believe you have never had one. You should. Then you can honestly say if you like them or not.

Choosing between cheesecake and S'mores is really a chore for me.

It's 71 today. Wednesday is supposed to be 75. Although this weekend it's supposed to drop into the mid 50's and we're supposed to have rain.

Now remember, we have 71 now. (And, that's warm for Texas. It should be a high of 55.)

But, we'll have 105, come June, July, August, September.

We will suffer, in a few months. wink

Home and cozy for me too!

Getting home was nuts though. Mega-traffic.

Our governor has imposed a statewide travel ban beginning at midnight.

Snow emergency begins at 6 pm, and all cars on any roads in Boston proper will be towed beginning at 8 pm.

So everybody and his brother in Mass. is trying to get home right now.

Glad I am.

Time to find all the lanterns and flashlights in case the power goes out.

So glad I have a gas stove now, and we can cook if it does!

Good luck IKWTDS and Trudy and Tinydancer and whoever else I'm forgetting in New England. Hope you keep your power.

Oh, get the whole pie! Live it up!

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

VoR, get the whole pie. You can eat as little or as much as you like. Save what you don't eat for another time.

I am the same way with Shoney's strawberry pie. I love that stuff. I love it so much I figured out how to make my own. It is so stupid simple easy.

And yes. I will eat the whole thing by my self.

Ever had a S'more made with peanut butter cookies instead of graham? SOOOOOOOOO good.

DD was supposed to have ballet today, but like every Monday, she was complaining about a headache. So I called her bluff. I brought her home and made her go lay down in her room.

She always hates going, once we get there she is good, but I'm tired of the complaining.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I made cowboy pie for dinner. Or a version of it. Calls for hamburger meat, pork and beans, and bbq sauce mixed together and then you put biscuits on the top. DH wanted mashed potatoes on it so I guess I'm doing a southern version of cowboy pie?

I would normally be ordering Chinese food tonight, but since this storm was coming, I bought ahead a little yesterday. So food is good until at least Wednesday night. I hope the roads are cleared by then.

As long as the electricity stays on, we'll be fine.

Spoke with the kids, they all left work around noon today and are home, safe and warm.

One of my coworkers who lives in Shoreham by the nuclear power plant, said they're expecting 70mph winds tonight. Fun!

And coastal flooding during high tides.

Lawsuits bankrupted the KKK, it should work on these crackpots too. (I was going to say "nuts" instead of "crackpots", but peanuts are already mentioned.)
