I'm not going out there. OK, maybe.

We call the maneuver with the blow up thingy the "Run & Hurl". See the boxes in the garage still waiting to be unpacked? Who has time for that when you have 10 inches of snow!

You want me to poop where?

People aren't the only ones that have to adjust.

After the Storm

Before the Storm

There were many storms of the century, said the weather man and signs of depletion at the grocery store. It was kinda funny. Like when there is supposed to be a big flood or Hurricane in Texas and all you get is enough to water your lawn. Don't get me wrong, it was an adjustment, I've never been around this much snow for this long.
It seemed like there was lots of moving wood. Apparently you need lots of different kinds of wood too. Who knew? Move it here, there and everywhere.
Know what you call a city girl from Texas who is trying to start a fire?
COLD.

Now they tell me.

This was my Horoscope yesterday. Do they know my social group is thousands of miles away? I think I went as far as the grocery store and the doctor's office. My stars where cloudy I think.

Hiya Peeps!

Wow, the transition from ATX to the burbs (officially a village in a town) of NYC has been more extreme than I could have guessed. But I did survive the winter and I feel like a champion.
I know how to start a fire like any Eagle Scout ever could, haul wood, melt snow for water to flush the toilets, stock up the pantry from Costco and start drinking at 4:30 p.m. cause that's when it gets dark and that's when happy hour starts, right?
I've been here for almost 6 months now since December, but it doesn't feel like that long. I know, I know, I was going to blog when I got here, but I had quite a few technical/house difficulties (3 computers crashed) and a strange paralysis from lack of sun and warmth. I'm not kidding. If a Magnolia freezes in the woods and no one is there to hear it does it make a sound? Yes! It's the sound of wine bottles collecting in the garage, cause that's as far as your traveling if forced to.
So I'm starting to post now and I will post some past pics and experiences mixed in with new ones. I know it's bass ackwards, but there ya go. Yes, you will get to see the snow pics. Brrrrrrr, dang you will feel the frigidness that it was!
Locals told me it was a pretty harsh winter.
I guess that makes me feel better, or just scared for next winter.
Man my legs are sooo white, sexy.
