Snowpocalypse Now

Snowpocalypse Now!
DATELINE: FEBRUARY 1, 2011

LOCATION:  IOWA
TIME:  6:57 p.m. CST

This is Julie the Wife, reporting to you from the Snowpocalypse.  Since this storm is so unique to me, and "I'm snowed in!" stories are so original.

The prairie is quiet right now.  Pa is waxing his violin (so THAT'S what they're calling it these days) and Ma is busy doing everything else to help us survive "Just in Case".  In the last 3 hours, we've had 54 inches of snow and one broken wineglass.  I've decided which child to eat if necessary - it's the 41 year old.

Swagga wagon, sans the swagga.
Now it's the SnowMobile.

We have no chocolate in the house, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to work tomorrow morning, because my company is apparently on a "If there is any chance you can make it in, we'll be expecting you" policy.  I'll check back later.  I hope you are all warm and well-stocked.

Hubby is out of town. Again. We are expecting 7 to 12 inches tonight. School is closed tomorrow. I have regular and mango Jose Cuervo margarita mixes (tequila already insde) and an avacoda, chips, & salsa. As long as we have power & internet, we will be fine. If we loose internet, things will get ugly. If we loose power, things will smell ugly too! May the force be with us and God Bless America!
