Mean boss, snow, gifts, more snow, and more snow....and more gifts!

I'm sure you all heard that the north was expecting a large snowstorm on Friday. Many of the local schools did not open on Friday and many others that did, closed early. Around 11am it was coming down at a pretty good clip. Girlville checked our local weather cam and told me I should leave NOW!

Our parking lot at work. See Herbie out there?

Anyhow, the afternoon appointments all canceled. One of my bosses was acting like an idiot. When my co-worker and I mentioned the canceled appts., he said he didn't know what the big deal was..it was snowing...well, we were expecting 6 or more inches...still big deal to him...how about we both live 20 miles away, he lives about 3 miles. None of us took a lunch, instead cranking to each other how he was acting like a jerk. Seemed to be making us stay to make a point. Have I mentioned my co-worker is due for a baby in 4 weeks? Anyhow he FINALLY said we could leave at 3pm.

We trudged out to the parking lot and started to clean off our cars. Mine looked like a marshmellow. I would have liked to take a photo for all you "southern belles", but it was TOO DARN COLD. I got in the car and looking down from door you can see snow had been higher than doors and I basically pushed it away when I opened the door.

The drive home was treacherous. Slow, slippery, scarey. I wished Girlville was in the car with me so I could show her a fun ride! I FINALLY got home at 4:15pm! It took a couple of trys to get in the garage.

When I got in the house I was steaming. Poor P had to hear how mad I was at my boss. But he told me here, feel better you got a package....

Woohoo! A package from Norman & his Woman! See those cut-out cookies...they were gone so quick I can't remember eatting them! Poor C had to pry one out of my hand!

And more...scone mix, vanilla, and an ADORABLE ceramic Pug ornament! I swear I could drink that vanilla...I actually thought about putting it behind my ears for perfume.....I know......over the edge. Thanks Norman and Tammy!!!!

Saturday morning the snow had subsided and P and I took a trip to the mall. I just have a couple of things left to do, but just can't seem to get them done! We walked around and the mall got fuller, and fuller, and fuller. We left by about 1:30pm it was just too busy and I did NOT want to be there. As we drove home (20minutes) we watched the sky get darker and darker. Although it had been sunny and not snowing by the mall, it apparently had been snowing at home most of the time we were gone!

When I went to let the dogs out I found another package on our deck! Priscilla, Frank, and Maya B sent a surprise for us!

All the furry kids got their own treat bag! She even handmade their tags. I will definetely be putting these in their scrapbook! (Oh, you didn't know my Pugs have a scrapbook????, what kind of Pug mama do you think I am????)

A cute hanging towel for me, along with Pumpkin Coffee (my fav) and Biscotti! OH OH OH...DEE-LICIOUS. How sad P does not like it....so sad, I'll have to eat it ALL!!!!

How about this....she used real popcorn for stuffing the package!!! Priscilla you are amazing! Although I did consider eatting it (HAHA) I will feed the poor birdies instead!

Rosie says...I heard you say Frank and Maya B sent us treats!!!! Bring 'em on!


Meantime..there will be no grilling at our house tonight!
