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?
