random thoughts about the great winter storm of 2014...



thus far, we have been cooped up indoors for two days.
it doesn't lend well to my busybody self. 

here are just a few of the things i have gleaned from the great winter storm of 2014.

one...
walls talk.  at least i think they do.  they started caving in about 8 o'clock this morning.  i even talked back.  not one of best conversations of my life. 

two...
we are ill-prepared should something catastrophic happen.  if we were to lose power, we would not have the first thing to illuminate our surroundings except for two flashlights.  no extra batteries.  only 3 scented candles.  no space heater to hook up to the generator we actually do have. and no gas logs in the fireplace.  all that to say, we'd be crashing some friends' homes that are well prepared.

three...
one can only stay in jammies so long before they must {absolutely must!} get dressed. 

four...
my family can eat all day long when forced to stay indoors.  i am beginning to understand why bears hibernate.  they eat themselves into a stupor in order to snuggle down for a long winter's nap.  makes sense.

five...
if i had the ability to stay home on a regular basis, with no where to go and nothing on the agenda, every stitch of our clothing would be washed.  i can't remember the last time our laundry baskets have been empty. 

six...
because of the lack of things to do, i now have a list a mile long of home projects i want to accomplish.  something tells me all will be forgotten when life resumes to normal.

seven...
how foolishly we take for granted the luxuries we are afforded.  cable, phone, internet, and power.  all things we expect to work with the flip of a switch.  but when they don't,we want it fixed quick.  we are part of the fortunate ones that have not lost power.  this morning, when the lights flickered for a brief second, i whispered a prayer for the service men and women out braving these conditions to keep people like me comfortable in my own homes. 


eight...
there is only so much disney jr. and nickelodeon one can watch. while charlie, lola, gaspard, and lisa, along with little einsteins and bubble guppies, are riveting, this mama has had enough for a few days.


nine...
should i take a notion to complain about the heat and humidity this summer, you each have the right to put me in my place.  i am not, nor ever will be, a winter weather gal.  this stuff is for the birds.  give me the sand, shore, and sun any day of the week. 

ten...
i don't enjoy my coffee near as much without flavored creamer, which we do not have.  upon stocking up before the storm, my sweet man brought home the original coffeemate.  eh, it makes for less than par coffee.  i suppose i really am a coffee snob.


eleven...
i want a cute pair of rain boots.  because, if one must venture out in this mess, at least your feet could be protected with something cute, right?








what random thoughts have crossed your mind the past few days?  i'd love for you to share...
