Sophie & I are safe and warm here in our new home this morning. It's snowing outside and has been since early morning. When I went outside to brush off and start Linda's car for her at about 6:30am, there was already about 4 inches of the fluffy stuff.
It's about 9:45 and another few inches as already buried my car again and covered the earlier shoveled walkways.
We are expecting the rest of Sophie's bedroom furniture - our delivery window was 8:30-11:30 - and hope that the truck will make it.
We watched "The Flintstones" movie this morning as Sophie had never seen it. Very entertaining.
We were supposed to have a Kulanu dinner at one of our member's home after services this evening, but it's been postponed until next week, as this "winter mix" will be turning to sleet and freezing rain later today and tonight. It's going to be a good night to stay in and cuddle.
After the delivery comes, IF it comes, Sophie & I may venture out to do a few errands. If we do, I will drop Sophie off at one of her friend's home who lives across the street from my ex, so that Sophie will be close to her when she arrives home from work tonight. Otherwise, Sophie will stay another night with me. We'll just have to see how the day goes.
The rest of the weekend has us scheduled to go up to Sassy Femme and her partner's home tomorrow up in northern CT, for a bloggers get together. We missed last year's, so we were looking forward to going to this year's. However, they're expected to get almost a foot of snow or more from this storm, so I'm not sure how that's going to turn out. I would think the roads would be clear by late tomorrow morning, but again, we'll have to see.
Sunday morning, Linda has to do her last long run (I think it's 25 miles!!) and if she's able to do it outside, (highly unlikely!), I'll be her 'training car with drinks and energy stuff' person! Otherwise, she'll go to the gym.
Sunday night is bowling and then watching the Oscars. I usually make a point of seeing all the nominated movies so that I can have some idea of who should win, etc... but I have to admit that since getting NetFlix, we don't get to the movie theater except to see kid movies with Sophie. I still enjoy the Oscar show, though.
By the way, Sophie & I went bowling with 2 of my bowling team members on Wednesday afternoon and bowled 4 games! Sophie didn't do too badly, but was getting frustrated, as she couldn't get a strike. She did manage to get 3 spares, though, which was pretty good. By the last game, she had figured out how to get it go down the middle and didn't really hit the bumpers too much. Her games were 61, 71, 83 & 77!
I changed my bowling style, watching one of team members, and managed to get pretty consistent with where I was able to put the ball. The last game, I actually bowled a 189! My other games were 127, 168 & 114.
Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
Shabbat Shalom.
We also watch the Oscars (well...we skip from 8-9 so that we can watch The Wire) and this is the first year that I haven't seen all the movies. I feel sort of remiss.
Stay warm.
