It was a snow day here. All schools and buses cancelled.

Son #2 went to work though. Hope it was a shop day and not a road day. Would be nice if he answered my text.

As of 4:30 p.m. today, my area has an additional 13 inches and it's still snowing outside! I've been out twice today, shovelling; it's good exercise and lord knows I need that!! It's really pretty outside--a winter wonderland.

The puppy bowl is the best. It always makes me want a new puppy, but hubby always reigns me in. I suppose that is a good thing, if not I would probably have a 100 (okay maybe 5) dogs and be known as the crazy dog lady.

I, myself, like the kitty bowl. But I think next year they should have a baby goat bowl.

Oh the goats were so cute! I thought they made excellent cheerleaders on the sidelines!!!

I went back to Bed Bath & Beyond and returned the Cuisinart this morning. I bought a Krups pot instead (about $20 cheaper, and I also had a 20% coupon). Tried it this afternoon and it's fine. I just hope it holds up!!

Me too! Having your coffee maker not work is second to worst, the worst being losing the Super Bowl.

I'm sorry to hear that your team lost, as I know you are a really big fan of football. I feel kind of guilty that the team in my area won, as I have zero interest in football. I wish you lived out here, so that you'd be happy again, though. Maybe next season, your team will win for you. I mean, if they made it to the big game to begin with, they must have been very talented, right? So, that's a "win" in itself, I should think!

I never understood how they predict with that big animal.

Ha! Our Wiarton Willie predicted an early spring.

 

[seahawk7]

Oy. And then worse, they forgot it was football and started fighting as if it was Hockey.

Give the Seahawks who started fighting a break. That is not representative of who they are. They got caught up in the emotion and I think we have to question how we would behave in the EXACT situation. Congratulations to the Patriots.

The Patriots are an awesome team and I was and am proud of the Seahawks.

 

[seahawk7]

So, the cheaters won? I just seen the news.

I have a lot of respect for the Patriots. I think they are a very smart quarterback/coach duo that will go down in history as just that.

 

[MinnieM123]

Although I didn't see the game, I am glad that you took some comfort in the fact that your team must have still played an excellent game; and it probably just came down to a few points between both the teams. My guess is that they were both evenly matched in talent.

I needed this today! So funny.

 

[MinnieM123]

Oh, this is so funny! I never heard of Wiarton Willie before, so I Google'd it. Never realized that Canada has its own weather=predicting groundhog!!! (I thought only we were silly enough to have one!) Hey, @Goofyernmost , what do you think of that? Canada has their own groundhog, too!!!

Newsbuzzdaily is reporting that Bobbi Kristina has passed away. (No confirmation on TMZ yet, so who knows?)

So sad. What a tragedy.

Sympathy like. That is very sad.

I read (4:00 p.m. report from People Magazine online) that she is still fighting for her life (on a ventilator), with her family at her side.

Schools are canceled again in my town, we only got about 8 inches plus ice today. I'm debating canceling an interview tomorrow in the morning near Boston. Roads will be all ice, we'll see in the morning.

If they cancel school for everything nowadays, how did people cope before?

Unfortunately, our horses do not. I'm not seeing any early signs of winter fur shedding.....

We always had snow days in school.

You know, you can make money as a side job by using your horses to predict the seasons! I mean if two countries can use groundhogs, why not throw in a horse or two for good measure?

Two of them, actually.
The one out east is Shubenacadie Sam - but he doesn't count, as he predicted 6 more weeks of winter. Of course, he is in Nova Scotia, where winter runs from October until June.
