Seems there is more snow on the way. And some game or something. Kidding - even I can't escape the excitement about the Superbowl this year. And I've thoroughly enjoyed the glee over at the Capital Weather Gang in following the probabilities until they converge at SNOMG!!! In a world full of all kinds of people who take their interests to the geek level, whatever that interest, I know too few true weather geeks.
Rounding up our scores on recent online polls:
- SuperBowl: We are rooting for the Saints.
- Snowstorm: We are calling it Snowpocalyse II: the Electric Boogaloo (and yes, we actually have Breakin' 2 on DVD because my husband is like that.)
- Brookland Grocery Debate # Umpteenth: I'd choose a Wegmans over a Trader Joes on RI. Trader Joes would fit better over near Catholic.
I don't expect any quiet during this storm. Kids change everything, in case you haven't heard, and being snowed in with two toddlers is entirely the opposite of being snowed in with your sweetie and a pile of good books. It's more wonderful because of the wonder and joy, pure and sweet, that kids have for playing in the snow. Its less wonderful for the sheer inexhaustible wet and cranky that can follow.
In 2002, Bill and I were delightfully snowed in over Valentine's Day. It was a good storm, a solid three-days of being snowed in, I recall watching a lot of Sifl & Ollie (Pirate cripplers - does Ollie sound kinda like Glenn Beck?) and napping. Now I can't even guarantee quiet in the early morning hours. 50/50 chance one or the other of the girls will be up between 5 and 6 am. Still, once in a while, I get a peaceful morning - such as on Monday when we got 8" of surprise fairy dusting snow. The photos are just snapshots but they store a small moment of peace, quiet, stillness. Thank you winter, for occasionally giving us stillness.
