Un-Surprisingly... Another No Show Snow Storm...

Yeah... so last night they were ah-callin' for like for 4-6 inches maybe more... and when I finally woke up... there was less snow on the ground than yesterday... I know others got the wrath but we were spared...

... and so... ummm... ya know I totally could have gone out and ummm...ya know I totally could have worked... ummm... I didn't...

.....shhhh..... and is it weird that eventhough it did not even really snow out... I went along as if it did... and I totally did not even realize it... I stayed in my P.J.'s all day... made mahself a pot o' hot mornin' java... bundled up in a warm blanket on the couch... watched the newz for school closings... listen to my pod... enjoyed sucky daytime television... watched some Netflix... sunny shiny sunshine all day... made mahself some warm cozy coffee in the afternoon... watched the newz for the commute home... every once in a while answering the door... ring and run these days... for deliveries for the holidaze... ahhh... now this is the life...

//pause for effect//

... and then around 7:30 pm... I hear a thud by the door and then the doorbell... so I thought it must be another delivery... ring and run... so still in my P.J.'s... I flop open the inside door... and beyond the big glass super cold fogged outside door... there is this kid standing there... right there on the welcome mat...

... so picture the kid...

//whatever ethnicity you are... picture the opposite//

//whatever your gender... picture the same//

//and if you are not ten years old... picture a ten year old//

...and it is super dark out...

... totally cold out...

... very windy...

... and the kid's nose is totally running...

... and before I could say kindly 'not interested'... the kid was already into the sell... and it was the kind of sell where all the words were just like one long word... from one deep breath... and if a single syllable was forgotten... which was... the kid had to start from the almost beginning... uggh... uggh... it totally broke my heart...

So I stopped the kid and yelled thru the foggy glass door like it was a rushing subway "HEY... I'LL TAKE 'ONE' OF WHAT EVA YA GOT!!"

So the kid lit up and started to open the giant tuppahware box and I yelled 'HOW MUCH!?!"

And the kid yelled '...EVERYTHING IS 7'... so I yelled 'KEWL...' and as I went to get cash I can hear the kid yell '...OR 2 FOR 13... OR 3 FOR 20...'

...funny kid...

And as I laughed... I got my cash and... oh no... uggh... my heart sank... guess how much I had...

In a word... justguess...
