My First Blizzard!

The snow is coming! Hooray! Looks as though I may very well have a "White Christmas" for my return to Boston. Ever since getting chased out of Florida by Hurricane Fay, I fear bad weather follows me wherever I go. So, it's no wonder a blizzard has arrived. I'm just sad we don't get to name them, like the hurricanes.
So, in my infinite wisdom, I decided to brave the grocery store last night to gather up some hurricane "supplies". I turned on that "news" that @missscandalous is always telling me to watch, and there was all this talk about what you need in the event of a storm, power outages, etc. So, off to Shaw's I went.
Now, probably a normal, organized person would have brought a list with them, and purchased supplies actually pertinent to a brewing blizzard. I see the following items being necessities to an impending storm: shovels, salt, water, canned goods, plastic utensils, car scrapers, etc. All those things sound really practical and important - but let's face it, they aren't a lot of FUN, are they? And the Casa de Colette and Kat is all about the fun! So, here are the supplies I deemed appropriate for an impending storm:

* A paddle with a string and rubber ball attached to the end
* A new Wii game (I sure do hope we have the Wii on a generator)
* A poinsettia (don't eat it, @kittyrocks!)
* All the fixing for root beer floats (IBC = YUM!)
* Spam, in case @colettebenoir and I feel really adventerous
* Stamps you lick
* A brand new deck of UNO
* Four bottles of wine (this was the first stop. Let's face it - none of you who know me are really surprised)
* A latch-hook kit, in case CB and I want to go back and work on those Girl Scout badges we never finished
* Twinkies, because they last for hundreds of years!
* Bubble Bath
* a new lipstick

So, as you can see, while you may be fed, clothed and warm for your blizzard, you won't be having the Par-tay @colettebenoir and I are putting together! You can DM me for a special invite, and we'll see if maybe you can sled your way over to our comfy pad. Hey - can one of you bring some brownies?

The Wonder of Magic Eight

So, Magic Eight and I have been spending a lot of time together in a past few weeks. I've had a lot of questions of the Universe and it's wry, but charming, sense of humor, so why not turn to the authority on the subject? Below is just a sampling of questions I've asked Magic Eight (and for those of you I'm throwing under the bus with me - hey! thanks!).
Note: A reminder that I'm using the special, High School Musical Magic Eight Ball

Will I ever win the lottery? "Don't Count On It"
Will I make a turkey for Christmas? ""Ask Again Later"
What are the chances that my divorce will be final before I turn 40 (please note: I am currently 33): "Sounds like a winner" (yeah, I noted the irony in this answer, too).
Is @georgebing thinking about donuts right now? "It is certain"
Why does my office always smell like stale cookies? "Call Back Friday @ 3:30"
Will @thediva send me a sexy text this morning? "It's Hard to Believe"
Will I find money in my Magic Pants today? "It's Hard to Believe"
Will @colettebenoir ever beat me in Wii Boxing? "Not Another Word" (uh oh! I better get practicing).
Is @kittyrocks asleep in her food bowl right now? "Stick to the Status Quo"
Do I think about sex more than the average teenage boy? "It is certain"
Does Tom-Tom love me as much as I love it? "Sounds like a winner"

Is there a pedicure in my future? "It is decidedly so"

Yes, this is how I base the majority of my life decisions. Does anyone need any answers? Let me know!
