Chip's Spynotebook

We decided to get out of the house after lunch and brave the snow and ice. We started walking up the street and passed one of our neighbors who was getting his car warmed up to take his kid to the hospital for a possible broken arm from sledding. That really sucks.

When we got up to the church parking lot, Swiffer decided he liked the snow all of a sudden so we decided to run around for a while.

Once we got to Milledge, I thought it would be a good idea to keep walking to Five Points to see who was out and what was open.  Luckily, Jittery Joes’s was and so our trip was not made in vain. There were lots of people out walking and quite few out driving.

Oh yeah, I’d like to thank Mr. Andy Ingalls for braving the ice earlier today to deliver baking soda and baking powder to us. Sometime soon, there will be cornbread made in his honor. Sure, it helped that he was coming this way anyway to get his shovel but let’s just pretend that it was for us. It pays to tweet.

Here are some pics from our journey:

Someone was upset he didn’t get hot chocolate.

We have off work tomorrow also.  Thank goodness we have milk and bread. And wine and macaroni and cheese.

The sleet started a little while ago and this is when it gets less fun. But before then, here are some pictures I took.

That is the view outside our back door when I let Swiffer out this morning. I say “let out”. I really mean forced out into the snow by pushing him down the steps. But, I imagine i would hate pooping in snow up to the tops of my legs, also. It still seems to be coming down out there. Oh boy!

But, I am glad we are home today because at this rate, the first Monday we will have to work in 2011 is now not until 1/24 (next week is MLK).

We have our bread, we have our milk, and we have our other necessities.

If anyone wants to come over and play in the snow, we’ll be here reading comics and watching Netflix. Unless the Internet goes out and that’s not even funny.

Getting the blog working again has been a bit more hassle than I thought it was going to be. When twitter changed authentication methods, my tweets stopped going to my lifestream updates page. I like to send them there so I can keep a copy of them in case twitter ever goes away.

Well, a few minutes ago, something crazy happened and my lifestream and twitter plugins started going crazy and sending out tweets for dozens of events. These, of course, were sent as status updates to my facebook.

Did not like.

Since I wasn’t sure how much it was posting, I went into disaster recovery mode and turned off all the automatic connections between my blog, twitter, and facebook. Now, I can’t seem to get it all back working like it did. The lifestream plugin I like seems to be abandoned and my tweets aren’t going to facebook anymore.

More work is in my future.
