Snow Day, Garbage Day
I just glanced at the bottle of oil from the tanning place and it says "Accelorator". I sure hope it isn't that stuff that makes you look all orange and fake tanned. I have no trouble tanning, I don't need accelorator. I thought it was going to be sunscreen. Thats what I usually put on. I told the girl I wasn't particularily interested in getting a tan, I just want the rays, the warmth. I want whatever vitamins you get from the rays. I'll have to discuss that with her when I go for my first session. Maybe they do have sunscreen too. I'm not going until my friend Flo leaves town anyway. Flo has been so heavy I'm weak. Had I of known Hubby was gonna just buy it for me I would have suggested we go to a massage parlor instead lol. Maybe thats what I can get him for our anniversary, massages.
I see there is a wind warning in effect this morning. I wonder if that's a reason to cancel school. The school bus website doesn't get updated until 6:30 a.m or later. They're still calling for more snow too, so with wind and snow there tends to be whiteouts. If you've never driven through whiteouts, you should try it some time, it's a real adventure.
This seems so silly, but it's true. As long as I don't sit down and thread that sewing machine I won't have to sit down and sew something. I keep putting it off. I keep telling myself it's too hard, it's too much trouble. I had a job in my twenties doing industrial sewing. We made those big slings they use to hold down loads on transport trucks. It wasn't delicate sewing like making clothes or anything. But the machines were basically the same, just bigger and heavy duty. It was easy. What am I so afraid of? Am I afraid I'll fail? Am I afraid I'll suck at sewing? Big deal. It's not like I have to sew up a wardrobe for my kid or anything. It's not like I spent a fortune on material. Even the sewing machine was free. Got this one from the people across the street when they moved. So what is the problem? Besides being a procrastinator. I've decided I want to crochet again too. That I know I can do. It's something you can do while watching TV or whatever. Nothing fancy mind you, just afghans to keep us warm in these brutal winter months. The only problem is I don't remember how to do it and I don't remember how to start. If someone showed me I'm sure it would all just come back to me. I never did like knitting. And I've never done cross stitching or embroidery.
They just updated the school bus site. No school again today. Ugh. I don't know how these kids learn anything. They've had the last three school days off with a weekend in between, nice little vacation. Speaking of which, March break is coming soon too. Every year is like this. They must really pack in the learning whenever they are at school. I don't know how this will work in high school. Since the school is in town not all the kids are bused. So I imagine the school is still open even when the buses aren't running because of the weather. Seems like that could cause some problems with falling behind. I'll have to inquire about that. The high school is smackdab in the middle of a bunch of new housing in town. So there's a lot of kids who walk to school there. So I'm sure they don't have snow days like we do here.
I just remembered it's the dreaded garbage day. I was going to put it out yesterday when I was thinking about it, but being the procrastinator that I am, I put it off until today thinking it would be no big deal. I just looked outside and sure enough we have windy whiteouts happening, sigh. That's the worst weather for putting out the garbage in, I hate it. The wind and snow are blinding and I have to trudge through drifts up to my waist in spots, ugh. You'd think this weather would slow him down too, you know, cause him to be a little later than usual, but nooooo, sometimes he comes even earlier in weather like this. I liked it before, for the first year or two living here, he used to come in the afternoon. That was so great, could just put it out at my leisure. Have no idea why he went and changed his schedule, but as you can tell, I'm still not used to it and don't appreciate it.
Oh well, I'm off to do that. Gotta bundle up. Gotta dig everything out first and then drag it all out to the curb.
Have a great day.
