Oh please, make it stop.

Posted on January 23, 2016 by A Dreamer

We’ve gotten at least 2 feet of snow.  It started yesterday around 12:45.  It hasn’t stopped since.  IT WON’T STOP SNOWING. This is what the dog sees when he goes outside: And that was a few hours ago.  It’s at … Continue reading →

And now, we wait…

Posted on January 21, 2016 by A Dreamer

And hope that the storm takes a hard turn south.  (Sorry Richmond.)  We’ve gone from talking about “maybe a blizzard” to blizzard watch to blizzard warning.  They’re currently saying 33 hours of continuous snow starting around 5 tomorrow.  Oh joy. We have … Continue reading →

An inch of snow and a mess…

Posted on January 21, 2016 by A Dreamer

Seems VDOT didn’t  pretreat the roads today.  (VDOT says it is because the treatment would freeze.  Others say it wasn’t cold enough for that to happen.) So, traffic was just enough to melt the snow, but not to keep it … Continue reading →

We really can’t function with snow here…

Posted on January 20, 2016 by A Dreamer

We’re getting some snow tonight – a warmup for the weekend I guess.  Not expecting more than an inch.  There might be a half inch out there now.  Got this from the county police: 28 crashes. Oh wait, an update! Make … Continue reading →

This is how I know I am an adult…

Posted on January 20, 2016 by A Dreamer

The word “blizzard” does not fill me with the slightest bit of joy.  As of this morning, the National Weather Service issued a Blizzard Watch for my area for the weekend. I don’t hate snow – when it’s in reasonable amounts. … Continue reading →

$900 Million

Posted on January 9, 2016 by A Dreamer

Yes, that is a little mind boggling to say the least.  (Powerball, if you’re late to the party.)  I was listening to the radio this afternoon and they were interviewing people about the “what if you won” scenarios and they … Continue reading →

Yeah, I threw $4 at the black hole known as the PowerBall

Posted on January 6, 2016 by A Dreamer

500 million dollars?  Hell yeah, I’ll buy a couple tickets. How much fun would it be to be able to spend the rest of your life being the ultimate Secret Santa? I’d remodel my house top to bottom, get a … Continue reading →

Rey has a playlist on Spotify!

Posted on January 2, 2016 by A Dreamer

I’d recently read some posts about Spotify having playlists for Star Wars characters, and it pretty much focused on Kylo Ren’s being pretty emotastic – but it made me think, “Wait, wait, wait – if they did one for him, … Continue reading →

Goodbye 2015

Posted on December 31, 2015 by A Dreamer

Personally, kind of a “meh” year.  Looking out at the world?  Completely depressing.  Way too much hate, war, death, and destruction for my taste. Star Wars provided a fantastic three hour respite from it all, and if you haven’t seen … Continue reading →
