Soo the beginning of the end (at least in the DC metro area) will start on Friday at 10am and continue until 10pm on Saturday. What catastrophic event is it this time? Oh just ANOTHER blizzard! Didn't I already go on this ride? I guess once wasn't enough so bring it on you 16 to 24 inches of snow with a possibility of more. OK seriously the weather committee is just showing off now. And why does it only snow on the weekends?? That's just rude. I have things to do, you know, with Saturday being a special day and all. Why can't the world ever end during the middle of the week so I don't have to go to work? I don't think that's too much to ask.
I know, I know it's winter and things like this happen but I live in Virginia and did not sign up for this. Don't get me wrong I do like snow. When it snowed on Tuesday it was very pretty and I appreciated it. But I do not appreciate the way they clear roads here or how people freak out about it. But then again since everyone is freaking out then it won't snow at all. Isn't that the way it works? Especially since I was successful on the Great Shovel Quest of 2010. It only took me three stores to find one. I know why I didn't have a shovel but everyone else should already have one. This is February after all.
I also had the misfortune of being sucked into the 5th dimension of Hades this evening otherwise known as Shoppers. I took my life into my hands just trying to get into the store and then it was every man for himself grabbing food. Once I had grabbed my share of the food I had to face my worse nightmare. The line. First you had to figure out where the line actually began which was is a whole lot more difficult than you would think. Then the never ending wait begins. One by one the weak fall away. Including the guy in front of me which actually worked out for me because I was able to snag his loaf of bread. So the wait continues with the occasional child screaming at the top of his voice. And we can't forget the lady in front of the store screaming some very unladylike words and ending every phrase with the request to call the pooolice right now. But I did it. I survived the very worse the 5th dimension of Hades could throw at me. And now I just have to wait for the end of the world tomorrow.
