FYI if anyone wants to clone me my dna can be found inside my icemaker.

So I just got my once weekly latte. It''s going to be a LOOOOOONG week.

I''m bored.

You already drank your latte?? Its only Monday?!

Why is your DNA in your icemaker? Scared to ask... but what the heck.

Bia: Get with it girl!

I know Elle, I''m scared I won''t make it through the rest of the week but I felt like I really needed it. Hold me.

Because we got into a fight this morning and the icemaker won.

One should never fight with ice makers. You just don''t win.

Cant you get ''healthier'' latte, or no? I''m not a coffee drinker!

I already drink a non-fat latte and I only get a tall so it''s really not much milk. It''s probably about 120 calories but if I have one everyday that''s 840 extra calories for the week so.....

Do you like americanos? I put like a tbsp of h&h, a sugar packet and vanilla sprinkles and it''s deeeewicious!

WL...tall non-fat lattes are 90-100 cals (depending on whether the barista fills your cup all the way to the top, or tops it with a little foam). So 2 a week on tough weeks won''t kill ya!

Sorry I''ve been MIA ladies...cleaning sucks and I''m not doing a very good job of it. I moved on from the living room to the kitchen because at least in the kitchen I can see progress when I do something. The living room is just...UGH.

We just have TOO MUCH CRAP (we''re both pack rats) and not enough places to put it!

I will help you w/ this. I won''t be able to sleep knowing you are pack rats.

LOL.

You might need some lattes for that...

I drink iced drinks but I should still try that but top it w/ non-fat instead! Good thinking!

Did not! But that''s amazing.

Oh, and WL...if you''re drinking tall *iced* lattes, it''s actually even fewer cals. 70 to be exact. Because the ice takes up some of the room they normally use for milk. So you can up your intake to two per week and still be in about the same calorie range as you *thought* you were before!!!

Seriously, WL, it''s pretty bad. But we''re both sentimental schmucks with no closet space, lol. I just can''t seem to get rid of stuff. It''s awful.

Ya you''re right because I get a double tall so that''s even less room for milk. Super I''m going to start having 2 then! Thanks for justifying that for me

I will teach you to be a cold hearted biznatch like me then you won''t care about that stuff.

I shall start taking notes.

We just need to get a storage unit, lol. Just to get it out of the house. And then someday, when I haven''t seen it for years, I will look at it once more and then throw it away.

The other problem is, I have tons of stuff that''s "for my office" (which I don''t have right now) or "for our dining room" (which we have the dining table in the sun room, so there''s no place to hang/put things. **sigh**

In other news, the NWS has upped the predicted snowfall for tomorrow to 10-20". OY.

OMG VC! I''m going to send a chopper in to evacuate you guys. We''re having unseasonably warm weather here in the PNW so you guys could hang w/ us until this storm is over.

 

[sunnyd]

VC you just need to watch an eposode of Hoarders then you''ll want to throw all your possessions away!

Haha. I''ve heard of that show but never seen it.

WL, we''ll take the chopper. ESPECIALLY if it can drop us off in Williamsburg on Saturday. I''m worried we won''t be able to take our vacay...

I''m off to go to the grocery store...we had enough supplies to get us through a couple days snowed in. We don''t have enough for another 3 or 4!

 

[4ever]

BF is the horder between us, I am the one who throws everything away. I just don''t form emotional attachments to much stuff, the stuff is there to serve a purpose, if it is no longer doing so and I can not forsee using it again in the near future it goes in a charity bag.

I did theater in High School and Marching Band through high school AND college. And especially from college (at the University of Michigan) I have a TON of mementos of unique things I''ve gotten to do (like march the Tournament of Roses Parade) as well as uniform pieces and that kind of thing.

A, on the other hand, I think has every receipt, every bill, every piece of paper ever received, and they''re not in any particular order. I told him before we move out of our condo, he''s sorting through it ALL and only keeping things from the last couple years or are important.

 

[princessplease]

I got back from my b session a few hours ago, and I had an absolute blast!!!! The photog even shared with me some shots on his cam, and daumn, they looked amazing!!! I am SO freaking excited for the pics to come back! I was really nervous and anxious at first, but by the end, I was completely carefree and having a blast. I can''t wait to see the headshots so you gals can see how awesome the salon did with my hair and make up.

Good morning Small Talk!

The snow is coming today!!!

PP - Glad your B-pic session went well! I bet you looked awesome! I'm getting scared for mine. I worry I'll look disgusting.

What if I spend all that money and hate every picture?

 

[CNOS128]

Goooooooooood Morrrrrrrrning, Small Talk!

 

[Lauren8211]

Good morning T!

We''re supposed to get 10 - 15 inches tonight/tomorrow, but I don''t believe a word of it.
I know it''s going to snow not so much as to warrant canceling school, but enough that commuting is going to be awful.

Hahah. Yes, that''s exactly how it always works.

We''re getting 6-10 here, but 10 is not enough to warrant staying home from work, unfortunately.

Schools would close, but work wouldn''t. I''ve literally never had work close due to snow in my entire life living in Michigan.

Gooooooood Morning, ST!

Coming to you from home...again. Drove into the office today to feed K''s and my fish. He''s doing okay, and hopefully I gave him enough food that he''ll last until the next time we can check on him!

PP--SO excited to see your B-pics!!!

I''m sure they''re gonna be FAB!

elle--I hope Beverly enjoys the snow!!!

T--we''re suppose to get 10-20 more. So far, our forecasts have been spot on. Snow is suppose to roll in at noon.

Oh, and there''s nothing like a flat tire to start the morning...

. We noticed it in the parking lot at Panera. The tire place next door to Panera had a 3-4 hour wait just to LOOK at it...let alone attempt to fix...so we just filled it up with air and came home. So far it''s holding. A thinks we might have just knocked the air out of it. Tire place thinks we picked up a nail or debris. Guess we''ll find out later this week when I can dig it back out again...

Beverly will LOVE the snow!!!

I can imagine that tire places are all busy/backed up. Everyone''s trying to get through the 50 inches of snow!

we're just jaded because we rarely get snow days.

although, my *univeristy* closes when there is snow - Thank God.

 

[Lauren8211]

The only issue I have with the snow is that it's uphill in every direction out of my subdivision. I only drive a honda civic. If there is 10 inches of unplowed snow... its just not happening.

Lucky! Well, here's hoping they close for ya!

I really wouldn't mind a "snow day." I could use the time to start applying for jobs and stuff.
