Weekend ramblings...

agt_spookyHappy Superbowl Sunday, everyone!
At this moment, my Bears are freaking LOSING after having scored in the first seven SECONDS of the game. Grrr... Freaking Grossman. I really can't stand him. The defense is what has carried this team all season and they're trying their hardest tonight, too. But throwing for touchdowns helps, too, Rex!
Anyway, the house hunting went well on Saturday. We totally fell in love with the place I had only seen the outside of and hubby is going to pick up the credit check application, etc. tomorrow from the realtor. Please keep your fingers crossed for us!
We also went and saw a few other homes as well, but the first place is definitely the one we want.
Spent the rest of the day on Saturday with my buddy, charityflint, for her birthday and we ate good food and watched one good movie (Wedding Wars) and one not so good movie (The Wedding Banquet) and just enjoyed hanging around together.
Waking up this morning, I stumbled into the bathroom and turned on the faucet...and got nothing. That's right, our pipes were frozen solid. No wonder with the -30 wind chill we've had for DAYS! So I'm like, great, it's Sunday, who am I going to get a hold of to fix this? To my utmost surprise, our Public Works department was actually working! Two very nice young guys showed up in less than an hour with blowtorches and had the water flowing again in less than 15 minutes! Yay!
Other than that, it's been a pretty quiet day. Caught up on some fanfic reading and packed a few more boxes, went grocery shopping and now here I am watching the Superbowl.
So how was YOUR weekend? And is it Thursday yet?? Hee!

Our calendar is totally out of whack with the seasons! This should be January weather!

It snowed all freaking day today, but luckily they were small, fluffy flakes and only added up to about 3-4 inches. Get any snow by you?
And yeah, with it being so freaking cold, I didn't think it *could* snow! What's up with this crazy ass weather??

Holy cow, please tell me that your mom's pipes have finally thawed out!
Nope, Mom's pipes are still frozen, and I'm very worried that they've cracked somewhere already. Her house sits right on a slab, no basement, so no insulation.
We got some more snow today, I'm not sure how much, enough to have to shovel our walk again.

Any luck with your mom's pipes yet? Gosh, what's she been doing without water for so long??
Thankfully no more snow today!
