12-22-08 Monday (Pony Rides!)

It has snowed a little bit this morning. The icicles off the roof are growing. I rather enjoy them though. They actually sparkle in the street light. Maybe tonight I can get the flash to bounce off of them just right. I makes me feel like we've decorated for Christmas! Those of you who personally know us, know that we go overboard for the holidays. 3 Christmas trees, various decor hung all over, and of course our excessive outdoor lighting display. I miss having at least 1 tree, but the lack of it all certainly makes for an easy holiday.

Last night we decided to go to McDonalds and return 2 of the 3 movies. The drive through was only open so I got a Happy Meal and Jim got cookies. I've never ordered a Happy Meal before and I guess I should have specified my sex. Apparently they got the gay vibe off of me and thought I'd enjoy the My Little Pony toy more so than the male oriented toy. Actually they were wrong. I always liked robotic toys better such as Bionicle toy for boys. I just took what I was given and will come to love and appreciate the pony. Oh, and it came with a brush. I don't even brush my cats, why would I want to brush a fake haired toy?

I wished you could have seen what I witnessed out of the window. A boat just "drove" by. I couldn't see the vehicle pulling it because of the hedges lining the road but it was funny. It's strange to even pull a boat in this weather. Oh well.

The shower from hell just occurred. I ran out of hot water while soaped up and had to wait for it to heat back up. The electric portion sucks, and the pilot keep going out on the gas. Our new jack part is due here Wednesday so we'll have the mobile repair guy look at it while he's here for that.


It has snowed a little more today but not much. We're going to return those 2 movies and then have lunch out somewhere. I think that secretly Jim enjoys driving in the snow. He likes driving in the mud and dirt so why not the snow? He seems to come up with excuses to drive around. Maybe we'll find an empty parking lot and do some 360's and other assorted crazy driving. We'll be crazy and careful. Sounds like an impossible mix to me too.


We returned our videos, ate lunch and then went to Home Depot for a few things. The roads were compacted snow/ice with layers of slush on top. I'm strange but it felt like we drove on mashed potatoes. No gravy though. We can't have it all. As I began to taste the mashed potatoes, Jim stopped me. Killjoy.


A trip outside for a smoke was almost deadly. I slipped on the icy steps and nearly busted my ass. I ended up catching myself before plummeting to the ground but in the process arched my back in a way that it's not meant too. I'm a little sore but I'll live. Of course safety should be a main concern, but sometimes cleanliness takes over. Jim suggested putting kitty litter down and I was like "no, then we'll track it in". I know, I know, you agree too. Good.

Jim teased the hair on my pony. I fixed it and then later he threw it away. I can't have anything nice.





We haven't picked up a Christmas dinner yet. We'll save that for something to do tomorrow. We've got to space out these outings you know. We don't want to have too much fun at one time. I'm enjoying some time at home. Laundry, some cleaning, mixed with reading blogs, creating videos, it's all good.

Cat fight!

Jim thinks the RV roof is a pinata.
