The Blizzard of 2010 arrived as predicted (so we can’t say we didn’t know it was coming) and in less than 3 hours our world was blanketed in a white powdery mantle. Oh it looked so pretty coming down in big flakes. And I noticed how quickly it was accumulating and decided to chronicle the snow storm – see previous blogs beginning with: Chronicle of a Snow Storm .
Taking pictures from the front door or the back door only took a few moments so uh now, what do I do? The photos in the Chronicle blogs tell the story of how white your world can be when 28″ – 30″ of snow fall in 24 hours but what was going on inside the house. Well when you are house-bound for four days, you gotta do something!! It was definitely easier for me than my husband, basically because I always do more things AND I have my computer.
- Playing on my computer has to be number one because I was on it a LOT every day; I played Scrabble with my Facebook friends, checked email, wrote blogs, cruised through Ebay and read other blogs.
- Nothing like daylight and the reflection of bright snow to show you where all the finger prints on doors and drawers are. I spent some of each of the four days with Simple Green in one hand and paper towels in the other.
- Paid a lot of bills online. Actually wrote out a couple of checks but couldn’t mail them!
- Because I was sleeping later and really had no where to go, I made breakfast for my husband. Yeah, really, bacon and eggs and coffee and an English muffin.
- Watched Dr. Phil and Judge Judy every afternoon – love them both!
- Ate Christmas dinner left-overs. We had dinners of soup, stuffed shells, salad and broccoli. And dessert every night!!!
- Started to put away some of the Christmas decorations; I would have done much more except that we couldn’t get to the garage to retrieve the bins. But I did get to the back of the closet and organize a couple of boxes.
- Wrapped each piece of the Christmas china and packed in the one bin I had in the house.
- Knitted – I am way behind on a project, a gift for my new granddaughter, Francesca.
- Cut up the newspapers I needed for another little project. Couldn’t seem to get beyond that part though.
Bill Ding and his band of clowns are the security patrol for this blog site. He is a favorite toy from the 50*s. By the way sometimes a blog is just an ego-maniacal stream of conscience.
