Snow in Maryland - Blizzard Style

Just catching up on older posts...

We've had quite a few snow storms and blizzards here in Maryland this winter...something we're not used to!

Some fun photos. Keep in mind Tucker is a large dog...he's 100 pounds and the snow is higher than he is.

"Get off the roof dad!"

My sister and her boyfriend just stopped by our house on their way home from dinner. My sister is younger than me and bravely lives at home (though she is saving a ton of money). She informed me that today my dad got some idea, "I'm going to clean the chimney today." He proceeded to climb up on the roof of their house to try this task.

Ummm we have had two, yes two blizzards in the past week. BLIZZARDS people. The snow is not melting...it is still everywhere, so it's on the roof...and there is probably ice too. Yet my dad thinks it's okay to go on the roof to clean the chimney. So odd. My mom just shakes her head. All of the neighbors stop by to observe and say, "are you sure today is the best day to do this?"

Oh dear.

Where to Find Rugs

The quest to find a rug for our basement continues.

Here is a list of places I have/plan to looked/look:

Crate & Barrel
Pottery Barn
Ikea
Target
Home Depot
Lowe's
Overstock
Smart Bargains

Why yes, I am quite obsessive when it comes to researching some purchases. Then I usually go out, eat, have some drinks, come home and shop online. That's not too safe huh? Well it happened last night after we went out to dinner...my J. Crew 20% off coupon was due to expire that night and I submitted my order just before midnight. Shopping under the influence...

Happiness is...

...Tucker, our golden retriever! He is such a happy dog. When I get home from work he get so excited and wags his tail so hard that he ends up hitting himself in the face with it...no joke! That tail is like a whip, hitting the walls and cats.

He is also so cute when he drinks water...that sounds lame, but really, he gets these little water droplets that stay on his nose.



Here is a video of Tucker having a blast kicking his legs.

"I Only Know Sanskrit"

Really? This is what our new yoga instructor told us today...that she does not know the English terms for certain moves...that she wasn't trained in the US.

She was good I guess, but let's just say I miss our old instructor Susannah who just had this special gift. Alas, she is pregnant and about to deliver. Sigh, I can't wait until she comes back in May...in the meantime, I have not been feeling too relaxed, more flexible, or stronger as a result of today's session.

It's amazing when you find awesome instructors and disappointing when they leave or take a leave of absence. Maybe I need to learn Sanskrit in the meantime. Oh also, there were quite a few guys in the class today...that's quite impressive. One didn't know what he was in for, another had really bad breath, and another was quite flexible.
