I just walked down to the Mall and got a bunch of pictures. I'll post them once I've warmed up a bit. (I tried making hot chocolate, but all I had for the base was powdered soy milk, and it's really not working. Tastes all chalky.)
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Hil, have you tried the Coconut Milk from So Delicious? It's good enough to fool my cats, which is pretty impressive. I get mine at Stop & Shop (which surprises me) where it's cheaper than Whole Foods.
Edited to add: I know you're snowed in at present, so this is really a suggestion for future reference....

Yeah, I love that stuff, and it makes great hot chocolate, but I don't have any on hand now. I just realized that I've got half a carton of Trader Joe's Whole Grain Drink in the back of the fridge, but now I'm feeling too lazy to start over with the hot chocolate.

We've got about 3 inches of snow here in Brooklyn, which is about enough for the kids to stomp around in but not so much that our boots fill with snow before we've walked to the end of the block. We may try for a snowman this afternoon if it's not too cold.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I more or less did my taxes online, but I apparently owe a bunch, and have also been drinking rum (medicinally! At my mother's suggestion!) so I saved it to review later. The owing makes sense, because of the consultant pay, but I'm not sure I did the two states right. Remind me to move on New Year's Eve next time.

The status is NOT quo.
ita, reading the past few hundred posts, I realized I should share two things: I have car and Cosco membership and am happy to share both, and Drew has a truly incredible Scotch collection you should try sometime. I give him one really old, fancy bottle for Christmas every year. This year was a 42 year old one that made him drool.
Stay safe, snowistas!

I'm not too good at estimating snow depth, but when I went out about an hour ago, it was a few inches above my knees.

Oh, taxes. I should start those to see where things stand before I go to Vegas. But first I need to make a Walgreens run, and then I need to play with the netbook that arrived today.

At the competition. A kid's eligibility was revoked yesterday and one of the other two kids in that division was coming separately because he is in a wheelchair. We needed to be here by 8:40 AM. He left his house, 20 minutes away, at 6:35. On the way, the van broke down and he had to wait for a new ride. He got here at 8:35. I was so anxious, and not in a good way, about the whole ordeal.
But all 8 of my duckies are doing there thing. I hope it goes well.
