I don't have kids ... but I have cabin fever

Four days of snow ... probably the most snow and ice I've seen in Georgia.  It's been pretty amazing in a bad way.  Lucky for Retired Sorority Girl as she has spent it "stuck" in Las Vegas ... tough life for her.

A few things I've done:
- Watched every movie I own
- Worked 16 hour days (I hate it when everyone works from home)
- Sat on a year's worth of conference calls in three days -- I kinda want to reach through the phone and hurl snow balls at people
- Cooked anything I could find ... yes, I made cupcakes, cookies, pies, chili, pizza and a goulosh. I've eaten almost none of it.
- Been great b/c I"ve been so cabin fever crazy that I've spent hours in the gym
- Can't sleep because the power keeps turning off and on which means appliances keep going off and on
- Cleaned and washed every piece of clothes that we own
- Friended pretty much everyone I know on Facebook

And I won't go into any other OCD type details but I can promise you, my movie collection both off and online is now alpahtized and perfectly in order.


An stumbled upon lots of stuff on line - like this video:

Yeah, its cold ... but we live in an indoor world

Friend of mine was complaining about how cold it is outside and I just couldn't stop laughing at her. Granted, it is 12 and will be 5 later today, but its not like we live in an outdoor, unheated tent. Each morning, we both walk to our cars in a parking deck; then get into a seat heated car and drive to another parking deck where we walk 30 yards into a heated elevator bank. I mean it sure is cold, but I was exposed to the cold for all of 4 minutes.  Now, if I used public transportation ... ok, let's be honest, I'll never use public transportation again so no need to even finish that sentence.

Anywhoo, saw this video on YouTube about milk, bread and it made me think of my dad growing up. Anytime there was going to be snow, we had a panic about getting enough bread, milk and eggs in case the movie Day After Tomorrow actually broke out. I do remember a week with no power in 1993 that was a bit tough, but Grumpy figured out a way to create an igloo in the backyard to ensure nothing in the fridge would spoil.

Good times ...
