“We Gots To Get Out Of This House”

So the minor ice storm that people freaked out about all weekend - it seems to have trapped us in our house since Friday. We went to the corner grocery store Friday afternoon and stocked up on food a little, not because we were scared that we were going to be trapped in our house, but because the only things we had in the house were one can of clam chowder, a tupperware thing full of Hershey’s cherry cordial kisses left over from Christmas, and some powdered sugar. Yum.

So we stocked up, and Jaye and Laurie came over on Friday night for a sleepover. What I remember of it was hella-fun, though I did decide the next day that drinking is just not as much fun for me as it used to be, not in the least part because I can NOT play board games while drunk. But, that’s a story for my own secret shame.

Still, it rained ice and snowed all day Friday, Saturday, and part of Sunday, and we thought it would be better not to go anywhere if we didn’t have to. Brian fired up our kerosene heater to keep our heating bill down, and we spent a lot of time reading, playing video games, and I got caught up on Heroes. 

That’s better than my mom, who was trapped in Chickasha all weekend. 

Now it’s Monday morning. Brian’s office is closed because of the ice; mine is closed for MLK day. We’re sitting here watching the Price is Right, and I’m thinking we need to get out of here, STAT. I love him, I love Sam, I love our house, but cabin fever is seriously setting in, and if taking the chance of wrecking my car is the price, then so be it.
