All quiet on the home front.

Nursey and her daughter ¾ Pint and Baby (remember, Baby is MY Baby, turning 19 next month), are safely ensconced in the new apt in Pittsburgh.

Funny, and I cannot remember if I mentioned this, WAY before, when Nursey was an 18 year old college student in Pittsburgh, her very first apartment out of the house and home...was....(drum roll).....The VERY SAME apartment she just rented. Now. 12 years later. The EXACT same apartment. How weird is that???

Another Snow Day. And a Blizzard approaching. We got 4-5 inches last night, on top of the three we already had, which sort of melted and then refroze into a layer of ice, then the new snow last night, making it C R U N C H Y snow, my personal favorite LOL.

Pint went out to play. Here is her pic. LOL.

Monster had to go out with her, she thought she saw B E A R tracks in the snow.  I tried to explain that there are no bears in these here parts, but no. She just knew that a bear was gonna come outta the little copse of trees in the back 40 which the kids call a 'forest' but which I know is simply a wind break......So it was either I had to go outside (so not happening..) or let the Monster out to protect her.  He and she had loads of fun.  She looks like Nanook of the North all bundled up. ½ Pint elected to sit inside and play on the computer. All that getting ready was just a bit much for her.

I made the mistake of hooking the Xbox up to the new Flat TV in the living room... MY theory was that I would finally be able to play MY game, which I have had for over four years...and never played.

Bad choice.

Now both kids are ruling the Xbox, and playing in my living room.

Still, it is MY tv, and I am thinking as soon as I get the nice pot of beef stew that I am jonesing for started, I am gonna pull rank and kick their little butts off the Xbox and I am gonna sit my self down and play Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers.....

Nintendo Thumb, here I come!!
