We didn't have a fantastic variety of subjects at school either. We didn't even have a fantastic school, considering it was an Academy. And now i'm working at it.

The worst lunchmeat from the deli has to be Scott Peterson.

I once bought a pound of Scott Peterson Roast Beef from the deli. It looked really good. Once I got it home I opened it up. The meat felt like rubber. It didn't taste like regular roast beef, it tasted more like flavored meat product. Just really bad brand in my opinion.

I'll stick with the other brands from the deli, like Sara Lee and others.

There is actually snow on the foothills here in Los Angeles. It is always a little strange when I see it here. Reminds me of where I grew up, where it did snow.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 18 Dec 08 :: 23:20

Did you guys see the snow in LAS VEGAS?!? Wow.

domesticelefant · 18 Dec 08 :: 23:33

Yeah, I saw it on TV.

Illinoisguy1 · 18 Dec 08 :: 23:55

Kind of funny that they closed the schools for under 4 inches of snow. Around here that's nothing. But I guess to them it must be a snow storm.

One of the reports I saw said that the kids were making snow angels and snowmen. Now I can believe snow angels. But snowmen? What are they making, miniature snowmen?

I saw a video on tv where motorist were trying to go up a hill, and it was icy, so they all slid back down. Kind of funny watching some of them almost making it, to only slide all the way back down. Luckily no accidents though from what I saw in the video.

In Vegas? Well, of course they did. They don't have any snow plows or sand trucks in Vegas. It's not supposed to snow there. The same thing happens here.

I'm finally on winter break and I passed my exam with an 83. My final grade for the class is an 87! : D

Nice job, Mel.

I have to try to take some naps today. I usually can't fall asleep in daytime (and avoid it so I wouldn't sabotace my nights...) but lately I've been having so much sleep depth I've fallen assleep sitting up a few times. Oh, by the way, that's not good for my back... When my youngest was a baby he had some rough nights for a long period and sometimes I often slept half the night sitting up on a couch, holding him.. and felt it my back. kinda still do...
The reason I WANT to be napping today is because I slept about five hours last night and that wasn't even peaceful sleep. (The youngest one again... What's up with him again.. ) Sorry. Rambling again.. I WANT to be napping because tonight I'm going out with my friend A. She's turned into a partygirl now keeps asking me. I don't exactly want to go drinking and partying but I want to spend some more time with her and she keeps asking me so... I'm sure it will be fun. I just hope she isn't taking pictures again... My eyes are puffy again.. wouldn't turn out good.. And makeup would just make that even worse so I'm not doing that. Don't like it anyways.. I would like to get some pictures of me redhaired (for FB, I don't look like myself in those pictures there..) but not with these eyes...

God, what a ramble this was.. I think I'm still half-asleep. It's 7.50 am and my girl just left for school. Boys still asleep. I think I'll try some napping right now...

So the storm went through over-night.

Seems like the worst is over now.
Basically got about 3 inches of new snow with a covering of freezing rain on top.
When shoveling it's like big chunks, kind of like if you broke a Hershey bar with a hammer.

The side streets around here aren't even plowed yet. When I was outside I saw one driver just spinning their wheels trying to get onto the main road. Luckily I live on the main road, so it's much better since they always plow and salt it first.

Down south they got about 1/2" to 3/4" of freezing rain, so it must be fairly bad down there.
Like I posted above we got some freezing rain here as well. Earlier this morning we got round of sleet going through and it sounded like someone throwing thousands of pebbles against the window.

On the news they said that out in the Western suburbs there was Thunder-Snow plus small hail.

Right now it's stopped for awhile, but another batch of just snow is expected to come through in a few hours to add another 2 to 4 inches of snow.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 19 Dec 08 :: 16:31

Thunder snow is a freaky phenomenon.

Illinoisguy1 · 19 Dec 08 :: 16:48

I found a webcam for a nearby suburb that gives a good idea of how quickly this hit. Lemont is SE of here.

Hmpf. I ordered some prints of our trip pictures and they're still not here. But I need them tomorrow, I want to show them to Katharina. Stupid Schlecker store.

In other news, I can watch Moonlight in English now, so New Years Eve can definitely come.

We just got evacuated from out building for about 15 minutes because some dumbass left an empty coffee pot on a burner on the first floor and it produced enough smoke to set off the fire alarms.

They got a lecture in front of everyone from the building safety manager. What was really funny was when they got called over, all the rest of us went, "Ooooooooooooooh," like we were little kids watching someone get called to the principal's office or something.

People are really stupid sometimes. What an idiot!

CappuGirl · 20 Dec 08 :: 09:58

Oh my head... I'll never drink again.. I think this just might be the worst hangover-headache I've ever had.. Well, atleast I'm not feeling nausea. No hugging the toiletseat. I just took another aspirin. JTT was a dear and gave me one before he left with the daughter to her christmas party at school. They had kinda short warning for that one. I wanted to go but I couldn't move without feeling my head was gonna burst. So weird that I have a hangover.. I never get hangovers.. I didn't even had that much fun. Well, atleast I met one interesting person.

Wicked awesome little story...

Kinda restores my faith in humanity.

Illinoisguy1 · 20 Dec 08 :: 17:52

Gee it's going to get very, very cold here tomorrow.

Tonight it's going down to 2 above zero with wind chills around -20. Sunday's high is only going to be 3 above, with wind chills around -20 to -25.

This came out of nowhere. A few days ago it was going to be in the teens to near 20 for Sunday & Monday and then this dramatic change.

domesticelefant · 20 Dec 08 :: 20:48

I am officially done with Chris*tmas shopping! :dancing:

That's a really great story! Too bad most people aren't like that..

CappuGirl · 21 Dec 08 :: 16:30

Great article. Nice man. I would have done the same thing. Of course there would have been a short moment of inner battle but in the end, I couldn't take someone else's money. I'd torment myself with it for the rest of my life...

How was your weekend, everyone?

My friday's night out was a bust, yesterday I was sleeping every moment I could. Last night a friend of mine came visit us. She spent the night and today we went shopping in our new mall and then in Ikea on the other side of the borderline. So nice to live here. I can go visit another country and don't even need to stop on the borderline. My friend is kinda shoppaholic so the whole trip took us three hours (and she thought that was a short shopping trip... I hate shopping...). My feet are killing me. Thank God I didn't put on my high heals!

Now my friend has left and I just made us dinner. JTT is playing online again and I get to sit here all rest of the day. I don't even have to clean; he did it all while we were shopping. Relaxation is all I have to do tonight. Tomorrow I think I'll have to go shop a few more presents. I still haven't got anything for JTT and I think we should give something to his mom and brothers too. I'll shop for my own far-away relatives after christmas. They'll be coming this way then.. My niece is gonna stay with us 26th-29th. She had a birthday on the 17th. I've promissed her a joined birthday-christmas-present as a shoppingtrip too the mall. Teenaged girls like that, right?

It just doesn't feel like Christmas in my area at the moment. To think it's only a few days left to it.

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 22 Dec 08 :: 07:02

I found out today that a friend of my parents is in the hospital on life support. : (

That's really sad, Mel. Hope they get better soon.
