Winter Wonderland


It has been unusually snowy in NC this year. I think we've had 4 or 5 different storms pass through. Most of them melt before lunch, but that's besides the point. I thought the creek behind our house was really pretty framed by the snow covered limbs.

My favorite snow "moments" this year:

1) My girlfriend's husband issuing a "french toast warning" on his FB status. I'm totally with him on this. People completely overreact when the weather folks call for snow. And seriously, if I'm going to be stuck in my house for days (even if that was a reality here in NC...ok ONCE in my 37 years was I TRULY unable to leave my house) would those be the three most important things? I'm thinking more along the lines of beans, ground meat and tomatoes. If you ask R he'd say beer, beer and more beer, but he'd eat the chili.

2) Heading out to the store during the worst of the 5 storms this season for ground beef (see #1) and there not being any at the HT (snow + wicked good special). So being the efficient shopper that I was I scanned the ad and noticed that Pepsi products are B2G3 free. Anyone knows me knows that Diet Mountain Dew is my absolute fave. I've switched to the caffeine free version now, but I still love it. So I stocked up. I pulled into the checkout lane and was greeted by the cashier who says "Did you really need Mountain Dew on a day like this?" To which I replied "My husband is from the Dakotas and to them this is just a day"

Proof that I'm the crazy coupon lady

I was at BJs today and saw a lady buying $9 worth of pasta that I knew would cost her $3 at HT since it was B2G3. I couldn't help but say something to her. My DH was so embarrassed. Anyone else find themselves unable to keep the good deals to themselves?

You want me to eat what?


Peas I can handle, sweet potatoes I love, green beans I will tolerate, but avocado? seriously?

Happy Valentine's Day!


I heard Mom and Dad say something about needing a little "couple time" today and then they put me in here. I'm not really sure what that means, but Bracey and I sure are having fun. I'll check ya'll later.

Buds

I'm not quite sure who Grampa love more, but both our furry baby and Grampa's namesake sure love him a lot too!

G's wild ride

G's first trip to KidsTogether Park was a rousing success. R and I are convinced that G will be stunt man when he grows up. He loves to be flipped around, bounced on the bed and let's not forget when his car seat rolled off the shoe bench when he was about 6 weeks old and he slept through the whole thing! We can't wait for the weather to get warmer so we can spend a lot more time at this awesome park near our house.
