Thanks, blizzard.

[smallllmin]

Well, it's only a matter of time before we lose power. This sucks. It better not be out for long.
I washed all the dipes and we're using prefolds and Flips in case the washer is inaccessible for more than two days.
I guess I'll hand wash them in the tub.

Grocery store run= three tubs of Similac, a loaf of bread, and a six pack of Magic Hat. lol

Anyone else prepping for getting snowed in?

...I'm no longer a GBCB thread virgin.
And I'm just going to keep using this face cause it's me on so many levels right now...

[ovenrack]

Yeah I washed diapers this morning, but then I used some AIOs and fitteds today : / I probably should've stuck to flats.

Maybe I'll try for a quick wash in the morning.

[Stringy]

I was going to start a drinking thread later. We can use this. All the blizzard folks start drinking. Anyone else who is drinking on a Monday is welcome to join of course.

Smalls- what state are you in?

[SAK]

Homemade wild berry wine here. Thanks, blizzard.

[smallllmin]

I am halfway through one beer. AKA, I am not good enough.
And if I could figure out how to post an effing picture, I'd show you a shot of my Single Chair golden ale by Magic Hat. It's fabulous.

I expect to be drinking with our next-door neighbors in a couple of hours. And then you should expect some stellar typos.

[Stringy]

I'm telling myself I'm gonna get so much done in the next two days. Like start our taxes, make freezer meals, clean my closet.

In reality I'll play, eat, take a nap, and watch homeland.

[smallllmin]

LOL stringy, I just realized you meant state as in New York. Perhaps this half of a beer is better than I thought.

ETA: I'm on Long Island.

[Stringy]

Lol that's gonna be my new way of asking how people are.

[hurricanerek]

Shoooooot. Did not wash diapers today. Maybe we'll still have power in the morning?

What state are you in? (Both geographically, and metaphorically).
I'd be shocked if we last until midnight.

You are?! I'm from LI and my family is still there.

Cool!

[meesh]

You poor losers getting a blizzard

I'm teaching a training at our office in the morning-8:30. And I'm always late. It's pretty embarrassing. lol

Aw yay! There are no CD moms here. No one is crunchy, and our "mommycon" consists of mommy makeover plastic surgery tables.
Sigh.
Someone adopt me and let me live on your farm. I need some chickens.
Cough, maple2, cough.

I won't lie, I'm really only pretending to be mad at the snow.

I'm in PA. We aren't slated to get nearly as much as New England so as long as no one crashes into a telephone pole, we may be ok. I'm just hoping DH doesn't have to go in tomorrow.

[SAK]

hurricanerek there are several of us from PA here. What general area of the state are you from?

[clldll]

For about 10 seconds I was jealous of all the snow and shopping for supplies/alcohol. Then I looked out my window at the dead grass & the end of a 50 degree day. I'll keep our weather, which FTR is never this nice in Jan.

I hope everyone stays safe and enjoys their time at home!!

Out comes the God. You didn't leave the SS at TB did you?

Eta: clearly God was an autocorrect fail for gps. Thought you'd like that one left there.

[ovenrack]

Honestly, I glanced and you said "Out comes the God." and I looked to see if you quoted @theultimategrumpycakes

Haha. I read it four times trying to figure out what God meant.

And I have no idea what you're talking about. Spreadsheet? Huh? What's a spreadsheet?

[grumpycakes]

I started filling my belly with ice cream and now I'm not sure if there's room for beer, too.

[hurricanerek]

PA people? Oh hey!
I'm in the land of the Amish. Formerly from greater Philly area though.

I had the same thought!  I have never seen or heard about a winter this warm in MN. We had 40 degrees here today instead of -15 below it "should" be.

Yea I think I'm going for cake at this point.

[grumpycakes]

Update: There is not room for beer.

You should be ashamed.

[brandiewine11]

We're in the "2-3 ft" band for snow. Blizzard warning going on here.

I'm working on a glass of merlot, and I already polished off the last of my dairy-free butterscotch pudding. Unfortunately I can only have 1 glass of wine since R will be waking up to eat any minute now....

And I forgot to buy oreos at the store. Damn.

I'm wondering how long we'll have power. We have a generator so as long as the lines don't go down we'll be fine...and hopefully will still have internet.

Tomorrow I'm going to have 2 Pina Coladas...Gotta have one for each hand....

[Stringy]

Cake and homeland here. BM is watching the bachelor in the other room. We are binging. The snow is sideways already. Yay!

[TJ]

Checking in with pudding and wine. And no snow.

[smallllmin]

2nd beer and now Bachelor. The virgin is a nut.
