Let it Snow!

I spent most of my day on Friday with the amazing Beth Feldman. I met some amazing women including:  Jill (ScaryMommy),  Cheryl (Twinsights) and Jessica (A Parent in Silver Spring) among others (I do not mean to exclude). There were a lot of laughs and generally a fantastic day was had here in Bethesda.  Luckily for me I am super organized and was not among the scrambling and sour-faced in the supermarket on Friday afternoon.  In fact, I spent my last snow-free, post Beth hours working out, gathering the real snow storm essentials (books and magazines of  course)  with Bob and picking up a dozen Georgetown Cupcakes for the kinder  (we all ate them).

We were set. I had my game plan – cooking (chicken soup, matzoh balls, red sauce, lots of raw veggies, curry chicken salad), movies (Night at Museum II), sledding (thank you Vicky) and lots of reading by the fire (devouring VF  with Meryl Streep on the cover was a treat!). Add to that a lot of shoveling, a trek to Starbucks with Bob and hanging with the kids (for better or worse) and that was the storm of 2009. Here is what the accumulation looked like as it made it’s way to 22 inches:

16 inches - 1pm

18 inches - dusk

21 inches - 8pm

22 inches - Sunday AM (the morning after)

And so now it is December 20, 2009  (happy birthday Steven Cohen) — dig out day — wish me luck and latte!
