Ice Storm!

My city is covered in at least an inch of ice, then about a half inch of sleet, and about another inch of snow. There are at least 600 people without power, and all the local schools are closed. The Governor has issued a state of emergency, as well. Guess who still has to get to work, somehow? That's right, Dear Readers. Me. Wish me luck. I just broke my ice scraper, so getting in safely will be quite the ordeal. Oh, to be a kid again, and be able to go back to bed and watch cartoons all day.

*this image is taken from the ice storm we had last year, so if this gives you any idea what we've already been through, then maybe you can send us happy thoughts as we dig our cars out from underneath all this.

Well, Kiddies...

...it's been a while since I've updated, and I know that's practically a sin in the blogging world, but things have just been so insanely crazy with my life that there's been no time. First of all, I started a new job, which at this point is old. It's not the most perfect job, but it's paying my bills. I'm still looking for a car, which is tiresome, but when you're looking for used, you either have to be extremely picky, or settle for less than what you really want. I've been looking into getting back into school, which I think will land me closer to all my life's dreams and goals, and I've also been playing catch up with some of my favorite musicians and television series.

First, I want to let all you ladies know that Salt Butter is back at select Origins stores! I love this stuff. It smells like those awesome butter mints, and makes your skin so soft. I'd had a cold about 3 weeks ago, and it offered my overworked sinuses much relief. It's also great for the winter itchies, which seem to be plaguing me something terrible in this cold weather.

Secondly, and I know I'm late in jumping on the bandwagon, but I've been watching the heck out of some Bones. Target had some really awesome sales on DVDs around the holidays and I just went stock-up nuts on tv. It's smart, it's quirky, it's hilarious, it's got the gross out factor. It's everything I love about television. Plus, David Boreanaz? You have to love that!

Third, I've been wearing a groove in the new Kaiser Chief's album, Off With Their Heads, and it's making me so happy, that I just can't help but dance a little when it's on. If you're a fan and you don't have this album, yet, allow me to chastise you a little. There's truly no excuse. Other notables are Oasis, Dig Out Your Soul, and The Cure, 4:13 Dream. The latter was meant to be a double album, and despite not being totally on board with the album as a whole, there are enough tracks that make it worth owning.
