Look Who Came by the House

Look Who Came By the House


Yeah, cheesy, but I love this show and Snow Miser, Heat Miser, and their Mom, Mother Nature. I've been watching this show for 30+ years and it does not get any better - all you reindeer people need to piss off.

OK, simply put, it's fucking cold. Weather guy said nineteen, not ninety. Interesting how one letter can mean the difference between wool socks and laying out by the pool. Also, funny how I can say that in three languages, but it still doesn't take away the fact that I'm freezing my ass off.

I live in Atlanta so I don't have to deal with cold, but Canada sent it down and I have to deal with it - at least for the next few days. If nothing else, it motivates me to do laundry (gotta love that gas dryer) and bake (gotta love a gas oven) - lest we forget the itty-bitty space heater. Mum said turkey takes the longest to bake, but I'm a vegetarian so I might be giving a gift to the homeless today. Also, cheesecake, but I'm trying to lose another 5 lbs before the glory-road-trip to Orlando next week. I guess there's another donation to the homeless?

I even put my feral outdoor cat in the basement because I was worried about her in the cold. She happens to be the mother of the cat I had to put to sleep and for some reason, I've become very protective of her. I really didn't think she would want to be confined in the basement, but when I went to check on her, she was sitting on the old chair, and gave me a look that definitively said, "Fuck off, I'm just fine inside, thank you much". OK, I get it. No amount of body fur can compensate for 19 degrees.

ON WARD - Time to set up the new, Sony, 1000 Watt, 5 disc CD changer, DVD badass MF I got for Christmas. This should be fun. I really have no idea what I'm doing, but a bloody mary and a shorty should help - Hardy har har. Joke's on me -- I don't have any vodka. Seriously, though, it beats the shit out of the 1980's "stereo" I had in the den. Too bad I can't crank it to 1,000 Watts because I would have to pick my 100-year old windows out of the neighbour's yard.
