So, it snowed again this weekend. Started Friday afternoon, sleet and rain overnight, more snow Saturday until about 6PM. Last night the temperatures dropped to way below freezing, but today it's warmer, the sun is out, and things are melting.

(Aside: According to this blog post, Richmond has had 400% of our average snowfall this winter. And that was before this storm.)

Except for a brief trip to Kroger this afternoon, I've been stuck in the house with the cats since Thursday night. Anyone want a cat? Especially a white cat?

Tonight PB and I are supposed to go to a superbowl party. Not sure if that's going to happen. I can get there. He? Not so much. They haven't plowed out his neighborhood yet. (And let's not talk about how I'd be refusing to pay my homeowner's association dues, as this has happened each time there was snow.) I'm hopeful that we'll figure something out, because I am going a bit stir crazy.

Also, I don't want to yell at Peyton Manning by myself.

Friday night PB and I headed out to his co-workers house for a game night. We played The Settlers of Catan. The night can be summed up as: lovely people. Sucky game. (Yes, I know. Big hit in Germany. See: David Hasselhoff.)

It started snowing later that night. It did not stop until Saturday evening. We ended up with (depending upon where in the metro Richmond area you were) between 6-12". I remind you, this is the South.

We spent our snow day painting the hallway/stairwell in PB's house. PB learned that I have no skill when it comes to painting. (To be fair, I have now painted 3 times. In my entire life.) We also had the following conversation:

WG: Whoa!
PB: What?
WG: Nothing. Just almost fell down the stairs. (Note: Since I have known him there have been several major falls. One was on October. Still hasn't fully healed.)
PB: (sarcastically) Do you have inner ear problems?
WG: As a matter of fact, I do. Ha!

Oh, the paint color (not his choice) was a cold, hard, bright white. Is terrible and could only be saved by darkening the trim. His roommate has decided that she likes the color so much that she wants the trim the same color too. I am totally willing to repaint, but I am unwilling to paint the trim that color.

We also watched Lord of the Rings (the extended versions!). OK, we didn't get to The Return of the King until Sunday.

Oh, and we made eggs and bacon on Saturday. And tried a new meatloaf recipe. Could be good, needs tweaking.
