Winter. Insert lengthy and garbled curse here.

You guys? Last night there was a snowdrift around my car (a minivan, by the way, so huge we call it the 2001 Space Odyssey) that was higher than the car's tires. Then it snowed more, and a snowplow came into my parking lot and pushed even more snow up around it. Now... well, my car looks like a snow minivan. I swear, all it needs is a corncob pipe and a button nose. *flails* I need to use that car, maybe not today, but certainly Monday. How will I ever get it out of there, and when I do, is it even going to start?

I also have a piece of advice for all of you. Do not leave your snow shovel flat on the ground beside your house before a 9-12 inch snowstorm. You may never find it again.

I think I may borrow the neighbors' snow shovel long enough to dig mine up.

(bookelfe, are you sure you want to come visit me? ;))

At least I can share my recipe for Quick Mexican Hot Cocoa:

Heat 6 ounces milk (or so). Stir in two small spoonfuls(or a heaping spoonful and a little more) hot cocoa mix. Add small spoonful of plain cocoa, scant dash cayenne pepper and generous dash cinnamon.

Finally, one of my yuletide betas pointed out a massive error in the dialogue, and now I have to think of some way to fix it before the deadline arrives. I shall ponder while I look for my snow shovel.

Lunch tomorrow or Tuesday sounds good. Let me know, and I'll get [Unknown site tag] to help me figure out how to get there. Mind getting him as well? You local folks can meet...

Not at all! I'm thinking 1 PM today at Douglass Cafeteria would work for me, if it works for you. I'll PM you on Facebook with my phone number.

I have just discovered that more than half of the campus cafeterias are closed, including the one with the kosher deli. I... don't know what else to do for kosher lunch around here. Do you eat hot dairy out?
