We're expecting 2-6 inches. Whee. Though there's rain mixed in. Boo.

And I forgot to mention writinggoddess surprised me with some early X-mas gifts in the form of icons (No not this one of Connor). All sorts of fun pairings. I'll slowly be getting them up. THANKS!

Okay so after I leave the psychiatrist who for some reason explained in great depth how WONDERFUL the lock-down PICU is here at St Mary's to me, I head for the stores. I hear about the snow and cross out the 80 mile trip to the nearest Barnes and Nobles. I go looking for cards for the exchange (and if you want a card from me let me know). K-Mart STILL doesn't have any. Wal-Mart's got a few pathetic looking boxes (explain to me why no one has boxes of cards). I give up and I go for the snow boots. I'm torn. I try on two pairs over and over again for an hour trying to decide. The 50$ Canadian boots by a name I know which are nicer in that they have a felt liner and a drawstring top but have a MUCH thinner, less rugged sole, no arch, and the water proof rubber only covers half the foot??? in comparison to the half the price no-name Chinese brand that has the same outer water proof nylon covering but has a huge rugged sole, an arch and water proof rubber that actually comes to the ankle but has a liner that's thinner and of a mystery material (However I can remove that and still wear the boot which I can't do with the Canadian name brand) Finally I decide that I can buy a felt liner and go with the cheap boots.
And while I'm bitching about consumer products, what's up with certain toothpastes. I have the Aquafresh Extreme whitening 'Mint Experience' I guess you can't label what it actually tastes like 'toxic waste.' It's vile. It even turns a noxious pink/orange when used. Oh and stay away from Angel Soft toilet paper. There's a misnomer. Okay I knew not to buy Scotts tissue because it's like sand paper but I go for the Angel soft and manage to remove several layers of skin with this stuff. Here why don't you use a brillo pad. It'll be nicer and more gentle to your delicate skin.

Oh and in further Nanomo news, Makai is now bald. I TOLD him it would happen if I had to hear about his hair one more time.

"Ignore them, Makai," Carantoc patted his back. "But sadly, your hair is a total loss. There’s just a few patches left. It’ll all have to be shaved."

Makai pouted. "Do I look bad bald?"

"Yes. Maybe we can put a hat on you," Tully said.

"That’s right, Tully, Traumatize him more," Carantoc said sourly
