Stay at home scientist

Another 6 inches fell on top of the foot of snow we had. I know, I know, all you east coast and mid west people are laughing going " Ha ha ha, that's small potatoes!" It is but Portland is not equipped with the resources to clear all this wonderful white snow for the city to commence work. I spent two hours getting a combo of snow/ice/snow off my car and my step dads' car and then to shovel all that snow somewhere to clear the driveway. It is fine and dandy to move up and down your driveway but when you can't get onto the road because there is a foot of snow there, well, it seems all in vain. So now that it is 11am, I emailed my boss to tell him that I will not be able to make it into work.


So what is on the list today?

*Drawing
*Finishing Rachel's present
*Reading the stash of "snowed in" magazines I bought

Whilst snowbound, I did some shopping.. for myself!

I'm an organizer starter-phile, this means that I love the idea of organizing and the stationery that allows me to but after a while, I get super duper lazy and don't carry on with it. However, any organizer starter-phile knows, beautiful planners sure help fuel that organizing start. I got this:


It is red. I mean, hello! RED!
(I'm keeping this planner for Muntedkowhai related business)


Ever since I saw LC wear her big checked flannel shirt, I scoured the internet for an affordable version. Boy, I had the hardest time but I did manage to track down and buy this one:

Billabong's Booyah shirt from Zumiez (what am I 12 again?)


I have around 8 packages I need to send out for Muntedkowhai but I can't get out and the postman is possibly not coming. Eeeep!! Relax relax, now I'm going to get out of my ultra warm snowgear and bid you a warm and safe Monday.
