gasp

i am reporting from the eye of the storm of the century!!  (at least, the latest storm of the century ;) and it's all terribly exciting!!!  i feel like i should be baking tons of bread and lasagne and cookies and rice crispie treats...........

..... except our bloody oven doesn't bloody work :|  ohhhh don't get me started... i am this close >< to stabbing it to death with the ice pick that i had to buy because of the dumb freezer that doesn't make bloody ice... seriously, this is why renting absolutely suuuuuuuucks donkey balls.  20 days till we are homeowners again and i am counting the days till we have necessities like an icemaker and a nice warm garage and kitchen cabinets tall enough for cereal boxes and a bathroom each and a dance-in closet and a central vacuum cleaner and... and... i'm materialistic and shallow, i know, but i've been slightly spoiled and it's not a bad thing ;)

today, as we are (hoping to be) snowed in, i am declaring an official spa-at-home day!  root touch ups!  deep conditioning!  an aggressive, extra-scrubby course of microdermabrasion, teeth whitening, nail painting and a catch-up of the Jodi Arias murder case on Dr Drew ;)

psst: i am slightly obsessed with said show and all the fascinating details of Mormon love gone terribly awry.  OMG i want to be in that courtroom SO BADLY!!!!  but i don't understand why they talk in such detail and disgust about the pictures but don't actually show them.... it's just not fair.  i don't think penises (or even that WORD and the V word) are even allowed on TV... Americans are so puritanical :(  

my birthday bracelet has finally been replaced - i rushed out to do that before the storm of the century :|  no thanks at all to the cranky old battle-axe at the store who accused me of catching it on something and being careless with my precious gift, because apparently she has had an Alex and Ani bracelet since the Victorian era and it is has never broken.   honestly i have the patience of a saint.

off to go and rescue the nachos from the broiler - oh yes we can broil, but i have no clue what that actually means other than turning the top of food black.  stupid cooker.

 from England with love

 

 Alex?  Ani?  WTF????

pre-Valentine's day storm essentials

 in the movie of my life, this guy will play my husband.  and i will play me :)

 i'm the kind of Mummy that offers to sort all the letters for the teacher (curtsy)

 more emergency storm supplies - crusty french bread, water, boston cream and jelly donuts, Friendly's brownie icecream and daffies from England

obsessed with dots and stripes and the color blue a little :)
