Another exciting thing that happened is that we got bombarded with snow here in TN. I'd say it was about four inches at my house...of course I'm measuring that by how much of the puppies are hidden when they go run around outside. Nothing scientific, really.
I thoroughly enjoy the snow and always have. Unfortunately, the one friend that was stuck with me while it was snowy does NOT enjoy it so much...and was forced to play outside with me anyway.
Taylor bundled himself up in my dad's snow gear from like...1990 and we headed outside with a sponge sled that still had the tag on it. Taylor humored me and sledded down our giant hill once...but once he realized that snow was indeed going to get in his clothes and it was not pleasant, he decided to retreat to a safe area and build a snowman.
That's Svetlana. The snow woman visiting from Russia. Since it's much colder in Russia, she didn't see any reason to bring a scarf. She's still hanging out by the mail box, greeting any postal worker that happens to drive by.
Later that night, after getting bored of the house, we ventured the icy roads and made our way to the happiest place on Earth. Kroger. Sure enough, as soon as we walked inside we noticed that bread, milk, and eggs were all in very short supply. Any amount of accumulation in TN makes people believe that we WILL be stuck in our homes for the rest of our lives and we better have enough bread to make french toast, bread pudding, and lots of sandwiches all at the same time. (BTW - sandwich is like...the hardest word in the world for me to spell. I don't know why, I never get it right).
The snow is still on the ground and that means all grocery stores and targets are sold out of everything. The town of Brentwood has been invaded by these strange snow people that have taken to living in front yards, and I think those Uggs girls wear with mini skirts down here are finally being used as snow boots!!!
