JA! making it before i said i would. i actually have time right now. YAY! actually, i'm not sure if that's a good thing. i hyperventilated just like you on packing day. don't you just love the sudden feeling especially so close to xmas? yeah, me neither. well, now hopefully you won't have to go to the market for a very long time. well, except to buy connor the yougurt. good luck with that one.

Holy moly. You're brave. Good thing you had Clinton there with you. LOL! I bet he's a HUGE help when you split up the shopping list. ;o)

OK, if you don't call yogurt "YOGURT," you're just asking for trouble. I know if I asked for some "Kraft," I'd probably get macaroni and cheese instead of my 2% milk sharp shredded cheddar. Hmmm. Maybe next time I WILL ask for "Kraft."

That ice is beautiful! But I wouldn't want to be stuck in the house with Husband, snowed in, after he ate those beans.

2009-12-21T23:41:15.906-05:00

You poor thing. Like Collette,
we've been lucky and have just gotten a dusting.

I don't mind driving in the snow. It's the rain that bugs me!

2009-12-21T23:28:11.763-05:00

SO far we have been lucky here near Detroit. We have about an inch. Maybe another inch by tomorrow. Then maybe some Thursday night & then some freezing rain & rain for Friday topped off with snow by evening. After Christmas, there is no need for snow anymore so it can all melt. Or else I am going into hibernation until at lesat April.
Kids need to be more clear with what they want. Hell, you could've brought home Robert Blake & then what would he do? Or get arrested trying to buy some reefer! Lucky you got back in time!

carissajaded: It's so funny. Connor's got a mental block for Columbo. So far, we're blackout-free. Isn't it always the way? When you're prepared, it doesn't happen...

K.L.M.: Oh...well, I'm glad you got just a lit...

2009-12-21T19:38:03.541-05:00

K.L.M.: Oh...well, I'm glad you got just a little. A little is nice...ambiance without risking your life!

Tinkerschnitzel: Ahhhh...I'd forgotten about sterno! Great idea. Don't they sell that at the party stores, too? God, I hope we're not in for a winter of blackouts...I might not thaw out till spring.

Heather: Thanks, sweetie. I usually try hard to not get caught up in the panic. I should know better!

Lauren: I KNOW. So far, I think we've got you beat in snowfall totals. How wrong is this picture?? I'm sending you some mental-snow as we speak...you should see it soon!

saku chan: Sure! I'd bookmarked it in case someone wanted it. It's http://www.bloggerbuster.com/2008/12/simple-snow-effect-widget-for-blogger.html. I'll post it over at your place as well. It's cute, right?

2009-12-21T19:15:58.978-05:00

Alicia: I feel like I know you even better after hearing your voice on your video, sweetie! Yep...plenty of candles...some firewood...and a flashlight that winds up to light instead of batteries! I do believe YOUR coast is warmer than MY coast...I'd move there in a NY minute....but only if you put me UP!

Maureen@IslandRoar: Isn't Columbo the best?? Connor's hooked. Unfortunately, there's only 1 chain that sells it here. Evidently, it's more expensive than the others. My son has caviar taste...

Lou: We didn't get as much as Philly...or Boston, evidently. I do believe we've dodged a snow-bullet (for once!)...

thelocalsloveit: Thank you! I swear...I can feel the cold from the garage coming up through the floor here in the office. Cold feet=warm heart??

JP: Yikes! What'd you use for the baby instead of diapers? Oven mitts? Bounty paper towels? It's never fun when you CAN'T leave someplace. Options...we need options!

2009-12-21T18:59:43.456-05:00

Allegria: A "camp stove"?? Couldn't I just go to a hotel instead? "Hello? Room service??"

WannabeVirginiaW: So, you still don't have ANY snow? Gee...I wish I could ship you some, sweetie. I'd be happy to give you ALL of it!

RON! Thank you for the moral support! I know it's a wonderful time of year for you snowbirds...but it's KILLING me, Ron! YES...I have to see those icicles every day when I drive out of my street. "Brrrr" is right! (PS: Can I exchange Brad Pitt for George Clooney? Oh, I don't have my receipt....)

2009-12-21T17:16:44.388-05:00

LOL, I was wondering from the beginning about the Colombia thing.. I was thinking surely he didn't want coffee...

I'm keepin my fingers crossed that you don't lose power again... the pic of your street looks down right treacherous... and no one wants to live off of canned beans!

2009-12-21T13:52:46.312-05:00

HA! I mean... Oh... that sucks? I'm not a fan of shopping to begin with. I really don't like it pre-holiday. So, YAY YOU! And your weather is looking considerably crappier than the weather up here. Just thought I would let you know. hehehe.

2009-12-21T11:52:23.697-05:00

I was wondering how you were going to make it through all that snow. Toe warmers are awesome! Also - the next time you need to heat up a can of beans without electricity, get you a can of sterno. Don't know if you have an ArmyNavy or military surplus/camping store up there, but they sell all that stuff there. :)

2009-12-21T09:23:28.091-05:00

WOW, quite the icy picture, makes me feel better even after our little snow squall last night(our 20cm turned into only 5,and nothing but rain in the forcast)

2009-12-21T09:05:46.439-05:00

One time we went up to my parents' house (about 3 hours away) for New Years...

Of course it snowed like 18". So we were stuck at my parents' house with a 6m old and guess what... we ran out of diapers. We drove about 1/2 a block before we found it impassable. We turned around and went back and waited... and waited... and waited... This would probably be a good time to mention that MrsRyan and my mom Do.Not.Get.Along.

We made due the best we could until the next day when we were able to get as far as the next town (about a 15min drive, my parents lived in BFE) to get supplies but we still couldn't get out to the highway to get home (actually the highway was at least 30 min away). Had to spend another night.

Next day MrsRyan was like "I don't care what conditions the roads are in... We're leaving." Okey dokey.

Yeah that was a fun time.

I sure love the way you tell a story! Stay warm.

Just left long comment but it didn't stick. Late news here just showed big bad weather hitting you - stay warm and dry and play a round of trivial pursuit for me.

2009-12-20T23:37:47.324-05:00

I hope you stocked up on candles!

I think you're the only person I almost/kinda/feel-like I know on the east coast, except for of course my personal friends Matt Lauer and Meredith Viera who I watch every single day...so I was very worried for you.

Maybe you should move to the west coast? Just a thought. We do have the internet here you know.

OMG...I feel for you girl, because I KNOW how much...

2009-12-20T23:35:30.090-05:00

OMG...I feel for you girl, because I KNOW how much you hate this cold and snow.

But, even in this weather you're brilliantly hysterical!!!

Remember sitting in the dark, trying to play cards with 2 sets of gloves on and eating a can of baked beans that we tried to heat up with one of those toe warmer packets?

Bwhahahahahahahahaha!

HOLY COW...that photo of the icicles hanging off the rocks IS bone-chilling...brrrrrrrrrrrr!

Luckily, I went grocery shopping on Friday afternoon, and thank god, because Friday night the snow came down like a blizzard and didn't stop until Saturday evening. Today, the city looks like one big ICEBERG.

Anyhoo....I hope you're somewhere warm and cozy and did not lose power.

Wishing you dreams filled with warm tropical breezes and palm trees, while sipping a martini with Brad Pitt.

That is hilarious. The Columbians appreciate your thoughtfulness, in leaving the country where it is (lol)

Darn it we have no snow here, in this part of Canada anyway. I want snow for Christmas. Lots of it. It is snowing everywhere around me except where I am sitting, heck it is even snowing in the computer! Darn!

2009-12-20T22:12:24.568-05:00

LOVE those toe warmer dealies--I used to put 'em in my gloves. Although heating beans on them is a new...er...idea. Someone needs to ask Santa for a camp stove for Christmas.
