naturally i had little food in the house... so, the day after xmas at 8am emily and i headed to wegmans - barely anyone else on the roads... within a half hour, it was packed... and the poor store was terribly understaffed; i mean, on a normal day, i doubt there is a big rush for the grocery store on the 26th... so we have the makings for chicken parm (regular and vegetarian), hot chocolate and i don't know what else... i love to see the beach with snow on it - but they are calling for white-out conditions and my 4wd suburban was sliding in my driveway, so we may not be venturing out... i know this sounds so wimpy to those of you who live in conditions like this all winter - and truthfully, i am curious how often businesses shut down if you have a blizzard... is it such a big deal? it is, right? as going somewhere at this point is optional and not required, i think we are staying put...
** i need to clarify - this tiny dusting is my before pic -
in 3 hours we are at over 6" and it is still snowing hard... i realize how silly this post seems if you are thinking that i am talking about this much snow... i am projecting into the amounts they are calling for ***
it begins... phone calls are starting and kids are coming to my house to hang out - good thing i went to the store... there will be huge nerf gun battles...
santa brought hats... thank goodness...
and this is my new 'favorite' - a paper mache bust from maureen thomas... it really makes photographing necklaces a pleasure and i love how you can choose the texture and details regarding the neck and shoulders...
i feel so badly for all of those holiday travelers whose plans have been affected by weather -who have had flights cancelled in the us and europe this year... hoping your holiday weekend has been filled with all of the things that make you happy... and that in addition to love, you have warmth and food in your belly...
