People kept telling me it was going to snow today, but I didn't believe them. Maybe that's because it almost never snows around here. Except today! The woods are beautiful and Comet has boots that fit! Lovely!
Of course, skeptic that I am, I didn't buy any milk yesterday when it was less treacherous, so I had to go out and brave the elements. Driving down the road, I was trying to decide whether to cut my losses and go to Food Lion and deal with the possible "get outta my way lady, I've got five kids at home and they're not going to beat themselves" vibe or take a chance and drive up the highway to Whole Foods and risk the "inorganic apples are okay for people like you/kiss my natural fibers" looks you can get there. Actually, I like both stores on different days and mostly all of the people are courteous and kind and I'm just trying to be funny, anyway. It is true, however, that the checkers at Food Lion are often teenagers who move like sloths trying not to break a nail. Today I chose Food Lion and they had everything and my checker was fast, though surly. She was a grown woman with things on her mind. She had her reasons.
We braved the snow so that Comet could attend a classmate's birthday party and he had a good time with all of his buddies. We came home and made a Christmas town and power bracelets (not *real* ones) and all in all, had a nice day. Tomorrow, it will probably be and "ice" day, and by afternoon, the snow will scattered patches in the woods.
