We ended up with about 1 foot of snow from that storm on Wed. :( It started to fall, and the wind was blowing it sideways, and we ended up with a hard layer of almost-ice underneath the snow. My wonderful neighbor came over w/his snowblower and cleared out the driveway for me. Then I spent an hour chipping away the icy slush that got pushed into the driveway by the snowplow. grrr. And another grrrr because he cleared the center of the road, but left 3 feet [actually it's about 38 inches. I measured.] between where he stopped clearing and the curb of the road. And my mailbox is buried in this drift. My mail-lady [is that a word? she is female...] has to hang onto the frame of her truck and leeeeaaaan out the window to reach my mailbox. And I have to leeeaaaan into the mailbox, and hope I don't slip and fall while I'm trying to recover the letters she delivered to me. *rolling eyes*
And I'm ready for Jared to be home. I lost my sense of humor yesterday [baby throwing up, all-day whining, early out for school], and I *need* to go to Barnes and Noble and pretend I have no responsibilities for an hour. Or three.
But hey, while I was hiding in my craft room to regain my temper, I found this
cool site. Very zen. Even more, if you do deep breathing while you solve the puzzles. ;)
Just to change things up, a picture of things to look forward to:

YUCK! More snow?? We suppose to have a blizzard tomorrow. Just great! I'm glad Monday is a federal holiday, so I'm home anyway, so if there is no school for Connor, we're covered. I want to do to the book store too!
Just what I needed... another brain-teasing time waster! Thanks a lot! :)
By the way, my score was 1001, first time through. Kinda fun.
Thank goodness for snowblowing neighbors! I hope the snow is done there for a little while (or even a long, spring and summer long while!) Barring that, may that trip to the bookstore occur very, very soon:)
Oh, and the snowplow driver here in Ames...left negative clearance between the street and our mailbox...I found our mailbox MOWED DOWN a few weeks ago! Yikes!
