I got out today thank god. I got to go use my gift card at the art store downtown and make a few other stops. Sadly I was in rough shape and it felt like my stomach was ripping out :(. I'm months away from my consult with the surgeon - much less getting it fixed.

Our kids are super clingy/cuddly today which is both awesome and disturbing. My son is so tightly pretzelled around me that this post has taken like half an hour to type.

Isn't there an Internet law that no matter what you say about your weather, someone will invariably tell you their weather is worse?

It might just seem that way to you because you live in a place with consistently good weather. Now if you were from around here, that'd be a whole 'nother story. Let me tell you about it...

My mom missed the fun snow dump on the Southtowns on Thursday because she went with her mom to drive her to Florida. My poor dad though had to plow for 24 straight hours.

We got a crazy pile of snow over the weekend. I was thrilled to see our plow guy the next day. I love that we decided to get a plow service rather than try to take care of our crazy long driveway ourselves, but I love the fact that we are so dependent on him after a storm a lot less.[DOUBLEPOST=1484090959,1484090905][/DOUBLEPOST]Ha! This is the whine thread. Time to whine: my skin/water issue is getting worse. I have little nasty hives from washing dishes. That's just rude.

You might think so, but around here, we have people who think the Internet is the worldly manifestation of the AntiChrist.

My sister just moved there. I thought it was bitter cold when I was there for work before I went off, but she has told me stories that make me realize that it gets even worse than what I "enjoyed" on my trip.

Her son is five and recently declared that it was too cold for living and that they needed to move.[DOUBLEPOST=1484152050,1484151984][/DOUBLEPOST]Do you see Northern Lights where you are?

I've seen them several times, but not to the same clarity that you'll see on videos online.

All of that said, it is beautiful here. Certainly more blue skies and sunshine then I'm accustomed to having lived in the mountains for 30 years. Nothing beats a prairie sunset either.

Took my car into the shop today to get the valve cover seal taken care of. Got the keys to a loaner car from work.

I should have checked the car while everybody was still here. Just came out to the parking lot and found the battery dead.

Lucky for me the engineer owes me a jump start.

It looks like a poster for a movie about an alien abduction outside a small, rural town.

Potato, potahto.

I just wish I'd managed to get the full moon in the shot, but it was too high in the sky.

And now the dumb thing, pictured above, didn't start this morning either. Not even jumping it, the engine won't catch. Gonna have to get it towed. At least my regular car is done and I got it back, so the hunkajunk Blazer is SEP now.

I had a free sandwich at lunch today... I go to my favorite sports bar for lunch today. I have pretty much eaten there once a week for 20 years. Today the owner took my order, Fried Chicken Club Sandwich. It took them about 30 minutes to get the order out. When it did come out it was the wrong sandwich. I told the waitress (not owner) that it was the wrong sandwich, just for her information, I just want it right on the check. She tries to take my plate. I said no. She tries again, "NO!" Then she left me alone...

My coworker asked why I did not send it back. "We are out of time, I don't want the sandwich to be cold, and never send back food."

Then I noticed that all the fries were brown and soggy.

So I complained to the owner about not getting the sandwich I ordered, and complained that the fries are not edible enough for a $10 sandwich.

She only charged me for the cola.

I just want to know how a fry cook that has worked that location for 20 years can randomly screw up an order of fries and serve the wrong sandwich.

Having :puke:problems. Burrito didn't agree with me. Stomach hurts. Somebody take my brain and put it in a jar so I can be free of the sufferings of the flesh.

Had a bad mom moment today in which I yelled at my daughter for not helping clean up her mess in the living room for the hour I was cleaning, and she yelled back that I didn't do anything either, so I threw everything back on the floor in a fit of pique and stomped out of the room.
