Santa Brings More Whiteness & a Big Box

Unbelievably, it's still snowing here. My friend Mike B, whom I went to school with from 3rd grade to 8th grade and lives a few blocks away, agreed with me that this is the most consecutive days of snowfall and snowy roadways that we've ever seen here.

It's supposed to warm up a little bit, but tonight and tomorrow night are still supposed to be below freezing. The way it looks now, I'm thinking the driving conditions will still be a little tricky for the next couple days, and walking around is going to be real yucky.

I had to go out to my car late last night to get some stocking stuffers and had to walk on top of about 6 inches of rain saturated sloppy snow, that sometimes held, and sometimes collapsed under my weight. Yuuuuk.

But the good news is that Santa dropped off a huge box in the basement last night. I know there's packaging fluff and air around whatever's in there, but it's still pretty darn big. His elves are coming tomorrow morning to put what's inside onto the wall where the old TV can be seen in this photo. So even though it'll be yuuky snowy outside, we'll probably be in the basement for the time being.
Heather's supposed to be working from home tomorrow too - doesn't have the day off like me....it's sure to be a productive day. ;-)

Merry Christmas to all of you citizens and citizens-elect out there; and I hope the New Year brings you much peace, happiness, prosperity, love, and whatever it is your heart desires.
