Is it safe to come outside now?
Yep. It pretty much looks like that (or worse!) around here right now.
Sorry for the silence on my little blog this week — we’ve been dealing with a blizzard (and the aftermath of a blizzard) for the past few days. We got between 22″ and 24″ of the white death snow between Tuesday and Wednesday. Blerg. At least hubs got to use his snow blower, which if memory serves me correctly, he likened to “man beating down nature”. Safe to say he enjoyed using it.
Anyway…in my snow-enhanced stupor, I neglected to blog about a very important day yesterday.
It was my mom’s birthday! Yay mom! Happy Birthday! 
In other news, this weekend is a pretty important weekend for WI football fans – the Packers are playing in the Superbowl on Sunday. Which, if you’ve been in WI for the last…oh…three weeks, you haven’t been able to see anything else on the news other than reports of and every. single. angle. of the Packers going to the Superbowl (although with Snopocalypse 2011 we had a bit of a reprieve). The most funny “news story” that inevitably shows up is ”He’s a Pittsburgh Steelers fan. She’s a Green Bay Packers fan. HOW DO THEY LIVE TOGETHER?!” Yep…our news media, at its finest.
Good luck to the Packers – and if you’re looking for me, I’ll be the one eating copious amounts of Buffalo Chicken Dip.
They’re so much FUN! Although that’s probably because I don’t have to actually use it all the time
