Ice Man Cometh…and Sucketh.

Oh it’s started here folks. Freezing rain. Slick. Gopher snot slick. (no. no smartass I have never actually felt how slick gopher snot is, but i’m pretty sure it’s slicker than human snot.) I got out to run some errands with Joe this morning and we both almost bit it more than once in the Homegirl Depot parking lot. Gah. . . I really dislike Homegirl Depot. I’m a Lowes girl myself…but my favorite is my local Ace Hardware right around the corner from my house. That’s where we hit bingo for ice melt and shrink wrap for my windows…

way back in the Saginaw days we were made to shrink wrap/insulate our windows in the company housing. I’d never heard/seen/experienced such a thing. Well fast forward ten years and I own a house, which means I’m responsible for draftiness and energy savings and whotnot. It’s an old house and the windows…they suck. So Joe and I tracked down the kits, bought a couple and VOILA! I’m done. (well, I’ve done four. I have three more to go but lost interest. shiny shiny moments.) The windows in my bedroom are horribly drafty, and it’s just effing cold. I feel like my furnace runs constantly. Hopefully this will help. Michigan was good for a few things I guess.

This weather is going to get worse tonight and tomorrow…appointment are bailing left and right. my first one isn’t till one tomorrow…IF they show up. Sigh. It will work out, we all just have to be careful.

Comedy tonight has been cancelled. I have scraped up the makings for chili and am going to do that. I was going to try to hit the gym, but I almost didn’t make it into my driveway two hours ago, so I know it’s worse now.

Socked In.

That’s me for the day/night. I have movies to watch and some laundry to do and a few more windows to shrink wrap. Say a prayer that we don’t lose power and the tree limbs don’t crack. Stormy Soprano just came in soaking wet….gah.

Stay warm ya’ll. I’m hitting the couch
