Snow Day

Well, it's actually more of an ice day.  I took Brett to work, since my car does much better than any other vehicle around in this stuff.  The day found us lounging around in sweats, eating and sleeping and watching nonsense cable stuff. Then I picked Brett up.  Pretty exciting, huh?

We were trying to decide what to have for dinner, and Natalie said, "Let's order pizza!"  LOL, yeah right.  There isn't a pizza delivery anywhere near this tiny town.  I told her that, and she said, "Grandpa can go get it, he has COUPONS!"  I think it's funny how kids assume that's no problem, to ask someone to go out on slick roads to pick up a pizza. We had catfish instead.

Tomorrow morning, we're all going to get up and clean this house.  What a lazy bunch we are, when it comes to housekeeping.  Clutter everywhere.  Things just land randomly around the house, because nobody wants to walk to where they go.  I'd yell about it, but I can be as bad as the rest of them.  Yup, cleaning tomorrow.

Tomorrow is supposed to bring 2-4" of snow.  We'll see.  They never get that stuff right.  Then the colder air moves in.  Tuesday morning will see a low of 0.  Yup, the big goose egg.  Burr.  Plus, I see dollar signs coming out of the vents when the heat kicks on this often.

Three weeks from now, I'll be in Indianapolis at a convention.  It's my first of the year.  I also go to Detroit this year, again.  Oh yeah, and I get to do my first big show!  I'm going to Vegas.  I've never been there, and there is VERY little free time, but it'll be neat to say I've been.  I'll at least throw $20 or so down a penny slot machine.  Yeah, I'm crazy wild like that.

The puppy is begging me to let her on my lap, so I guess I'm done typing for now.  And I'm cold.  I think I'll make some orange spice tea and watch SNL.  Under a blanket.  In my bed.  With some food.  Snow days...what're ya gonna do?

When you're in Indy could please tell Peyton that I'm not going to wait around for him forever!  I have SOME pride.

well I know they have penny slots in Kansas City but don't know about Vegas.  Just go and look at all the interesting casinos.  They certainly give you the flavor of New York, Mandalay, Italy, Paris!!

There used to be penny slots downtown in Vegas not sure if they still have them. (I lived there for awhile) There are nickle slots everywhere even at the airport when you get off the plane. You have to go downtown it is fabulous!
