Snow Day At Camp Bossy

Bossy and her family woke to a foot of snow and the cancellation of school, so here are just a few of the exciting activities on the agenda:

1. Attack the day with gusto



2. Play a suspenseful game of Find The Car



3. Watch lots of movies



4. Sit by the roaring fire



5. Eat delicacies, like last night’s mashed potatoes



6. Trip over dog toys







7. Shovel the sidewalk wearing appropriate subarctic footwear

   Things DG does on snowdays: Stay in PJ’s all day on the couch, drink tea…that’s about it.

   This…and also watching New York! And Boston! on TV is yet another reminder of why I have to decide whether I’m wearing shorts to go to the library this afternoon.

   We got about 5 inches. Sure that closed our schools, but I don’t have kids so no issues here. It would kinda suck if I was snowed in today because we have no power. I’ve never been happier to go to work!

   We had a couple inches yesterday. Had to scrape the car windows before I could go fetch pizza for supper last night. Was so hoping it had melted off by itself. Nope, just ice under the snow.

   Less than a week to Ground Hog’s day. Spring training reporting dates follow by two weeks. Spring will come, even in Bossy land.

   And then Bossy’s storm continued its rampage up the East Coast into Olivia-Land and Olivia blew halfway across the neighbouring field while trying to feed the (so totally NOT) starving birds that were making rude and threatening gestures at her from under the maple tree.

   I opened the bedroom door and saw what I thought was a drop of water fall *inside* my house. Yes, that would be an ice dam. Or ice damn? Vuboq is right about martini’s today.

    The bird house is so cute I can’t stand it…..and…can’t you make a mashed potato ball and throw it over this way?

    Three things:
    a) Ass jar. (Blame Ellen and my sophmoric sense of humor for that one.) (But I noticed the same thing.)
    b) Dude, hang a blanket over that window and watch some bad TV.
    c) How are your legs post-surgery? (I saw your legginged leg and it made me think of that.) You never did a follow up and I’m honestly curious — not just b/c I”m nosy and hope you’re better, but also b/c I have crappy veins and am considering surgery too.

    I wish I had snow days! Instead we get ‘gale force wind days’ and everyone is still expected to show up to work and school, just a little more wind-blown than usual.

    I’d gladly redirect some of that snow toward Michigan. We’ve not gotten our fair share this winter, that is certain. Also I need a day like yours.

    I was hoping for a 2 hour delay here in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area but the snow came too early and was fluffy. We have had 3 snow days to be fair though. I’m hoping for a Nor’Easter to dump a pile and go sleigh riding with my daughter and friends on the killer hills behind our house.

    Over here in B-port, it’s rise at the ass crack of dawn to begin 1 1/2 hour hardcore shoveling, followed by a lovely trip to work, because I am “essential personnel”, to come home to everybody’s dining room furniture “saving their spot”…..It ain’t South Philly people!!! I like Bossy’s snow day much better.

    Harrison Ford would not like that blanket of snow your current auto is trapped beneath. Not at all.

    My little brother just moved to Philly. I think he’s selling Verizon phones or something. He looks a lot like me, so keep your eyes peeled.

    The snow covered birdhouse looks like Gary Oldman in Dracula. No offense.

    Bossy’s son needs to blog, so he can then say ‘I’m so going to post this’, or at least put it out on Facebook.

    it took me thrice times looking at the car to figure out that the stickyuppythingies were the windshield wipers and not extra weirdly positioned side mirrors.
    Hellllo from Arizona! We are dumb in the ways of the SNOW

    I like the movie that’s on TV. I think it’s really interesting. And also the mashed potatoes. This is another funny post. Thank you for the laugh.
