Skipping the Subway

We finally got the snow they have been threatening us with since last Thursday. It keeps coming...like hillbillies to pig roast...a never ending stream.

Bethany got out of school two hours early. I went to pull into the school parking lot and I never saw so many cars there! And with it only being half plowed, ppl were parking any which way and anywhere. Surprisingly it emptied out fairly quickly. Max has been begging to go with me to drop Bethany off and school and pick her up but I didn't take him on this trip. I didn't know how slippery the roads were going to be and I didn't want to end up knocking my dog out!

Since the snow was so frozen and light, I used the shop broom to clear the driveway and ALL that sidewalk! Then there was Corky across the road with the only snowblower on the street...he cleared his driveway and went in. Didn't even clear the sidewalk in front of his house. There I was with a broom clearing my driveway and the sidewalk that I have 4 times as much to clear as he does AND I cleared the sidewalk in front of Derek and Barb's house too! If I had a snowblower I would have just went right down the road on both sides. AND I'd send TJ over to clear out the driveways for old Festus and his wife, crazy piano lady and maybe even Larry the Gnome's sidewalk.

School is canceled for Thursday too. So that means since there was no school for Friday or next Monday, Bethany doesn't have to go back until Tuesday and has a 5 day mini vacation.

Troy will be making me get out of bed REALLY early Monday morning. I have to have him at the airport by 6 a.m. to catch a 7 a.m. flight to Atlanta. He has a training class to attend. He will be back on Wednesday.

The first week of February he is conducting a training class. His b-day is during that time...what a way to spend it. But then, again...once you get to a certain age you try not to notice them.

I am trying to get my diet back on track. And I am not using 'diet' as a verb. I only mean what I eat each day. It got out of whack and now I am trying to get back to what was working for me a few months ago...protein and veggies. Also lots of water. There is the oatmeal/ground flaxseed morning combination...with the cinnamon and vanilla on top. I ate a Lean Cuisine today...and it was a good one. Bethany likes them too. I guess I will have to forego the Mexican and Chinese food for a while...I can skip the Mexican but skipping the Chinese is the hard part!

Same thing every year at this time. Trying to get myself back into a better eating pattern. I do like a good 6 inch veggie sub...I am going to start making my own at home...who needs Jared and subway?
