Mother Nature Strikes Again

I’d planned on walking to the coffee shop today to get out of the house, but it appears we’re having an ice storm. Plans thwarted.

Worse, I’m out of cat food, Pablo is flipping out, and I hate driving on ice. Tonight is going to rule.

UPDATE: The question of the night is what you can do when you halfway expect the power to go out. So far I’ve broken out a ton of ancient make-up and painted blue eyeshadow up to my eyebrows. Thankfully I am home alone.

UPDATE II: Apparently tonight’s plans include cleaning out the closet and starving the cats. Not like it isn’t good for them.

UPDATE III, Because I’m bored: There’s a good half-inch of ice sludge on my front stoop that will probably be solid ice in a few hours. And I’m still wearing the blue — no, teal — eye shadow. I can’t illustrate how bored I am, but here’s an attempt.

Did you notice my new haircut?

    Well, at least if the power goes off, you won’t be able to see yourself!!

    Update IV:

    We just watched the most recently-released Will Ferrell movie. You know which one i’m talkin’ ’bout. And we laughed. With shame.

    Update V:

    Lauren looks gorgeous in her decorative teal upper-eye coloration, just so you know.
    And it is truly accented by her new sleek hair-do. And by her snoring.

    Sonorous waves that ripple her new coif and undulate all aspects of her new teal-enhanced eyelids. Mmm-hmm. XoXo.

    Why thank you. I’m fond of the blue eyeshadow, myself. And the hott glasses.
