It's still snowing and more on the way.
Yesterday I "babysat" my cousin's two dogs. It had stopped snowing (at least during the afternoon)and I wanted to take "Carlos" and "Ruby" for a walk. However, the snow banks were huge and wide. I was afraid of going around a corner and getting nailed from incoming traffic or tripping over the snow chunks on the side of the road. I could foresee an accident was in order.
So for safety sake, I opt to just let the dogs run around outside in their yard for some needed fresh air and a 'poop' break. I do miss walking dogs. I like the exercise and I enjoy their company. With that being said, I was glad I didn't have to go out in the middle of the blizzard!
As you can see (in the above photo) Carlos wasn't too keen having his paws cold!
I haven't been able to get out for my daily run so I try to get my exercise on the trampoline.(*Although I get plenty of exercise shovelling this god-dam snow!)
The pigeon must know I need to "run" and she acts like my "coach". She will stand on the trampoline, stare at me and "bust-a-move". It's like she is saying, 'get off your fat ass and start jogging!"
It is funny what people will stock up on when they know they will be house bound for a few days (and it is not usually bread and milk)
My Mother grabbed a few cans of soup and bread.
I grabbed a big bag of broccoli, spinach and....(OK I know this bad) chocolate cake from Hannafords.(Hannafords has the best chocolate cake)
My cousin grabbed a bottle of maple flavoured whiskey (hmmmm..)
And my girl-friend said she stocked up on liquor and condoms (I think she was joking but I"don't ask.... don't tell")
We stocked up on canned items that don't need an opener and can be eaten cold - deviled ham, chicken, and Spam (we love it as Spam Hawaiian). I also chucked in some cheese, sliced turkey and Syrian pocket bread, just in case we felt the need to eat "healthy." They're predicting 6"-8" more snow for Monday. No-o-o-o!
ReplyDeleteSpam!?!? I remembering eating that as well as deviled ham spread as a kid
DeleteI just ran out and got....yup, more broccoli and more chocolate cake for the snow storm (again)
