don't trust those clouds, they are up to something.

The weather people are making noises about snow this weekend. About the time when Mr. Jenner will have to go out of town for his yearly work thingie. (they meet once a year and talk nerdy things and company things and so on) One almost feels bad for the man since he will be going to San Diego. Almost.
I think the only way to combat this potential weather is to be so prepared that nothing will happen. It is my magical plan. So that means enough milk, bunny crackers, fruit, and hummus to feed all the small children in the world. Or at least Senor Onion and Miss Biscuit.

Also books and DVDs. I have a great pile of DVDs to work my way through. I have a scarf I am knitting that is nearly 2/3 done, and we have lego. So many of those tiny bricks, that we just might build a house with it.

But first I will need to have a steady supply of hot chocolate. And another pair of gloves since my kid lost one of his. (because that is what children do)

Somewhere right now, that local news guy Jim "Danger Jim' Foreman is prancing about in his heavy parka. For he waits all year for this. It is cold and clear out. Let's stay that way for awhile.

Oh those gloves! When my children were small, I was about five miles from any shop (except a tiny village one that didn't stock gloves) so I knitted their gloves - sometimes a whole glove in one evening. The weird thing is that, now, I can't even remember how to cast on - I've learned to knit at least three times in my life, but it never sticks!

Kids' gloves needs to be bought in bulk. Enjoy your flurries, when they come, and lego, knittin, DVDs and hot chocolate. If you have hot chocolate, nothing can go wrong. *nods*

I always appreciate your attempts to save the region from itself, by over-preparing.

I'm also pleased I have at least four kinds of fancy cocoa in my cupboards, left over from the recent family visit.

For the first time in maybe a decade, I am looking forward to a weather event!

Except for that one thing I'm scheduled and hoping to do on Sunday night.

Oooh four kinds. Not bad.
I just want to make sure my sister can fly home on Tuesday.

In the snows of '08, that was my issue too (flying somewhere). I hope she makes it home easily.

Jim God damn Foreman. That guy. And the thing is, Jeff Renner is always, oh, no concerns, Seattleites, for if it shall snow, ever, in the world, ever, it will be a sort of snow-rain mix, nothing interesting, and aren't I a creepy, mellow, smug, profoundly unimpressed individual. You go to Komo or Kiro and they're always "WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!" Not Jeff Renner. Then when it snows, he says "Well, THAT'S over. You'll find that that profoundly rare event will be forgotten about by dinner time". There's definitely a disconnect between him and Jim. He probably hates Jim.

Yes. GOD DAMN Jim Foreman indeed. Years ago a guy I worked with at The Bon Marche (remember the Bon) who spoke of Foreman being a messy drunk and hitting on my co-worker in a fashion that was a trifle hilarious. There you go. Jim "messy drunk in a parka" Foreman trying to whip up the area into a mass hysteria. All he is missing is the Flavor-Aid.

I do kind of dig Jeff Renner's approach. "hey... snow... don't drive on Queen Anne unless you want to end up on Youtube.."
