Bored Bored Bored Bored Bored Bored And for a while, all of this snow was lots of fun. After all, I got to spend five days and four fun filled nights living at work last week. Then I managed to get home just in time Friday night to be snowed in by Saturday morning. It has snowed twice more since and, oh by the way, guess what? It is going to snow again tonight. I am so fucking bored. I am so, so fucking bored. I am “hitting my nuts with a hammer to see how badly it hurts” bored. Now that is something that is hard for me to admit since I always have tons and tons of stuff that I need to get done. And I still have tons and tons of cool stuff (and un-cool stuff too) that needs to be done. But, just like a on summer vacation, none of it appeals to me. Junior wingman number 2 has been down here for a couple of days and we made gingerbread men. Then we made oatmeal/raisin cookies with orange flavored icing which number 2 showed a prodigious appetite for eating when she made a cup of tea. Then we made chocolate dipped meringues. Then the gingerbread men had to be iced. And of course we checked out lots of music: Conor Oberst, Nightwish, Michael Franti & Spearhead, and Mary Magdalan. My life is based on the fact that I have the freedom to go and do pretty much whatever takes my fancy. And thanks to almost 18” of snow where I live, that freedom is pretty much gone. Not even the bus can make it up to where I live. So here I am with a week of vacation and I cannot go anywhere. Even if I wanted to fly down and visit my mum, I couldn’t since the airport is closed. What’s a guy to do? I have even had to cancel Christmas Dinner (or at least really scale it down) since it is doubtful that junior wingman number 1 will be able to get over here if we get more snow. Other friends that were invited cannot make it over from the other side of the river. So instead of the traditional English Christmas Lasagna (just kidding about it being traditional, but not about it being lasagna) I am just going to make my world famous pasta with vodka cream sauce, and a Caesar salad. I am also going to pass on making a dessert. It was going to be a raspberry and chocolate trifle, incorporating lot of raspberry liqueur and chocolate. But since I have absolutely no desire to sit and eat an entire trifle by myself (although the challenge is somewhat enticing), there will be no dessert this year. The good news coming out of all of this bad weather is that I have hiked through the snow at least once each day to the grocery store and this has been very good for my legs. It is about a two mile round trip. And while this is a snap for the 5’9” 125 pound junior wingman number 2, for the dad with no knee cartilage on one side and missing ankle ligament on the other, dashing through the snow without a one open sleigh is a physical challenge. So back to the actual question: what’s a guy to do? Well, beside the obvious now that junior wingman number 2 has gone back to the madhouse that is her mother’s place. I am down to the bottom of the To Do list ‒ even down to Item #15: remove all of the annoying little hairs from ears and nostrils. If the next storm holds off long enough, then I am going to walk the couple of miles down to the local Fred Meyer and pick up a few last minute things. If the storm comes in on time, then “tant pis”, my girls will just have to make do with what they are getting. I, like many others, have cut back this year. For me, it is as much a reality to my girls getting older as it is to wanting to save money. But in the forefront of my mind is also the reality that the company I work for had to give in to economic reality and laid off 25% of the work force last Friday. And while many of these were contingent employees, there were also many regular employees who were let go. Fortunately, I passed through this first purge, and this was one of the reasons that I made sure to be at work every day last week, but I had friends who were let go. And as good as I am at my job, and as varied as my job skills are, nobody is safe in this economy. But those are next week’s issues and I am much more concerned with the next few days. I imagine that I will make a couple of posts………. Maybe I will masturbate several times (although my fantasies are getting a bit shopworn)….. I have an Ork Wartrukk that needs to be built….. The library did open today (finally) so I have new books and music. But none of that is overly appealing………………………………. Bored Bored Bored Bored Bored Bored Bored Bored Bored Bored  |

POODLE ~ About these fantasies ...  /  You always can call me and bother me endlessly. I'm available for a chat or two ... or three. And if you're a good, little soldier I MIGHT send along a story you've not seen. (No, not that one ... though I hope to have a rough draft of that soon-ish.) No, no ... this one would be a bit like the various shades of blue you've used in your post.  In the meantime ... don't get your knickers in a twist. I know you. You won't be bored for long ... Pretty soon you'll start thinking of how you can cook your various neighbors ... and what might so-and-so taste like (relatively speaking) with such-and-such spice. Or would you USE spices, a marinade, or a lovely -- just for kicks -- vodka cream sauce? (That's it! You can "invite" the neighbors for your Christmas Feast. Start a brand new tradition. )See? I've already given you more fuel for the fire ... Aren't I wonderful? *snickerdoodle* /  / *hugs* /  And on THAT note I'll wish you a HAPPY FESTIVUS! (I'll lay off on airing my grievances since you've done SUCH a great job of doing that yourself!)  This is my blog - [blog _Safira]. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Well, we are not quite so snowed in, though we have about 18 inches in the yard, the streets are alright. And besides, I have teenage boys...and if I were to be completely stranded with them, I would no longer have teenage boys! Have ya made a snow angel yet?? I'm thinking I need to do that today...or thrown some snowballs (works best if there is someone to squeal when they get hit, but just throwing one feels great)...oh, and didn't you know, every yard is required to have at least one snowman. It's a law.  MY snowstorm frustration lies in the fact that the "Brown" delivery organization is holding 8 (yes, I said EIGHT) packages hostage less than 10 miles from my home and appears to not care about delivering them. (One has been there since last THURSDAY...and still...it is there...AND I have seen those big brown trucks in front of my house since then!  ) Evil bastards. I have been checking the online tracking information every few hours, and so far, only ONE package is "out for delivery" today. (There were 3 yesterday, that never arrived at my house...and then were returned to the hostage holding facility...) I might have to go camp on their doorstep... *sigh* Taking a deeeeeep breath. I know Christmas is NOT about the presents, but dammit all...when I order something in PLENTY of time for delivery, with a little wiggle room even, it sure would be nice if it got here. (FedEX makes it JUST FINE.) *giggles* Okay...I'm done ranting. And I do apologize Fallic for ranting all over your rant...  "All you'll get from strangers is surface pleasantry or indifference. Only someone who loves you will criticize you." - Judith Crist, crack film critic

She has been thinking the same evil thoughts about the white delivery trucks as you have about the brown ones. And ranting over a rant is perfectly acceptable, and in your case, very amusing....

If I have cooked the neighbors, then inviting them for Christmas dinner is going to be a bit tough (kind of like the old lady who lives three doors down - crock pot material). And now I am off to put up the Festivus Pole (ask Ce about all of the problems in Olympia relating to theirs) and let the feats of strength begin!!!!!!!!!

FutureMrsR, Since you live in Vermont, which is probably the only state where the people are as crazily independent as Oregonians (I have read all the Joe Gunther novels and that's how Vermont comes across), I would imagine that snow features very heavily in your winters. Twins?

Candy, Merry Christmas to you.

You are supposed to arrange to get snowed in with someone to play with. It was a case of sitting there thinking "f*%$ing weather people haven't got a clue about this incoming storm" . And they were right on with the start and snowfall, although they missed the thaw by 3 days ..... I figured that I would be out and about by Monday ... was I wrong on that one.
