It's probably because we didn't eat French Toast

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.

Cold white is the worst. I naively thought white was white until I became a homeowner - did you know Benjamin Moore has something along the lines of 115 different kinds of white? Seriously that alone made me want to rent again. Decisions like that? Brutal! Glad you survived the storm!

I want to get you a horseshoe. And a four-leaf clover. And a rabbit's foot. Maybe that would change your luck with the falling and the dislocated/broken everything. I would say that this is why you are a watergirl, that it hurts less when you fall in the water, but we know that's not true. I have the scar to prove it. I imagine Richmond shut down like Raleigh did?

May I point out that you received more snow than the commonly-cited snow capital of the US, Buffalo, NY? (actually the capital is Syracuse, but nobody ever mentions them) I'm glad that we could finally share some of that snow with y'all. And you even got a snow day! If that much fell here, it would be work day as normal.

Sara, Richmond did shut down. At least for the day. Things were open on Sunday. The schools? Still shut down, as the secondary roads are still not cleared well. Angeler, the snow was on a Saturday. And it's not like the company closes if the snow is on a weekday- we can work from home if we don't want to come in, but unless we take PTO, the time must be billed!
