News & Views: more snow edition

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

1. It's snowing again! We are supposed to get 3 to 6 inches tonight into tomorrow morning. I did the shopping today because I know I am not going out tomorrow. I have had the LAZIEST day that I can remember. I am having difficulty convincing myself to do anything besides my Miss Marple jigsaw puzzle and eating snacks. I think part of me is preparing to hibernate. Will my children ever have a full week of school? *shakes Magic 8 ball* signs point to NO!

2. The boys' father is sad and depressed and grumpy, which is to be expected. His birthday is Sunday and he doesn't want to celebrate it at all. We've already fought about this. The gift was already bought a while ago (thank you garonne) and I got a frozen key lime pie (his favorite) today so it's happening.

That's all I have.

Yes, last winter we got no snow at all but this year we've had a lot of snow. Yes, things continue in sadness with him. Ha, ha! Yes, I still feel like hibernating.

Neve deve ser legal, mesmo eu não gostando de frio gostaria de um dia ver algo assim. Aqui não temos isso...

How's the snow? ❄️

It's a difficult situation; impossible to say the right thing.

We got a couple of inches and school was cancelled. It's pretty. We've gotten a lot this winter.

Yeah, I have thought about trying to get some work at the grocery store across the street, but I am waiting for us to renew our lease on the apartment first.

I've never had key lime pie, but it sounds delicious. I'm sure he can deal with having cake and opening presents, hopefully he won't grumble too much about it.

It's a chilled pie, cream filling and key limes are a slightly tart lime from the island of Key West (Florida) You can get the flavoring in all kinds of things (yogurt, ice cream, etc).

I hope not. But we'll see.

Thank you. We got a couple of inches. No school today. I don't know about tomorrow.

Thank you!
