OMG!!! THE SNOW IS COMING! THE SNOW IS COMING!

Because there has to be something to panic about, right?

*shakes head* Yes, we're looking at a fairly sizable storm. Thing is, unlike the Snowtober storm, this is supposed to dump 12-24 inches of fluffy snow, not 18" of the normal heavy wet shit. Meaning, traveling will be foolhardy for a day and a half (or less), and then everything goes back to normal.

Woo. Hoo.

That said, I did go out and get a tent lamp and a couple of rechargeable glow sticks just in case the power does go out. I'm calling it storm insurance. The lack of light was the thing that bothered me the most about the last power outage. You can't really read by candlelight. Not comfortably, anyway.

However, with the assumption that the power is going to stay on, I also checked out a few movies from the library: "Kung Fu Panda", "The Muppet Christmas Carol" and "Amelie". Might as well take advantage of the power being on by secluding ourselves in the darkest room in the house, right? ;-)

Aaaaaaand... I need to get to my homework now. I've done a very good job of putting it off, but I can't wait any longer.

Test drivin'

Test drove two cars tonight to catch up from missing last week due to stomach bug and this weekend due to the oncoming storm. (Page's school's been canceled, and my school closes at noon. Which means I need to go in for both my classes.)

( First, the 2010 Ford Focus )

There goes my dream of buying American ('cause GMC is NOT gonna happen).

( Then, the salesman brought out a Civic. )

Now I better get the kid to bed. And do my accounting problem for the morning, since I'm assuming there'll be class. Because that's how my accounting professor rolls...
