My Iced-In "10"

It's Day #2 of the big Snow/Ice Storm 2011, and I'm tired. Tired from doing nothing and tired from staying up way too late to watch the Auburn/Oregon game.
I dozed off for a while last night, but then woke up for the last 6 minutes... which was the best part of the whole game.

As you may know... a DIE HARD 11 year-old Alabama fan lives in this house (and he's influenced the rest of us). I'm happy to report that he (we) rooted for Auburn. It's a Southern thing I guess. If your team isn't playing for the National title, at least pull for the SEC team that is. Even if they are a major rival.

So... Cabin Fever hasn't set in just yet, but I feel it coming.

At first, I love the being "cooped up." I get just as excited as the boy when school is cancelled. I hate waking up and making a ham sandwich at 7:00 am.

I kept my PJs on until sometime after 4:00 pm yesterday. Then I took a shower and put on fresh PJ's. Ahhhh. The snowed-in life.

But the glamour will start to wear off eventually.

I can assure you it will wear off for the boy this afternoon when we start cleaning out/re-organizing/de-cluttering his room and toys. He's gonna be wishing he was at school.

SO because we can't leave the house and because it's Tuesday and because I haven't participated in a hundred years...
I give you...
Ten On Tuesday...

1. Is there a band/artist that you HATE?
Nope. Not really. I despise it when singers spew profanity and hatred. I also cannot STAND people singing through their nose. I can tolerate country music; but, please, sing it with your voice and lungs... not your nasal passages.

2. What do you do when you get a gift that you do not like? How do you react?
I don't usually receive gifts that I don't like... sometimes they don't fit... my body or my personality. I like most things I receive, and I am always happy that someone thought of me. Even if I have to get a bigger size!

3. How is your work office/cubicle decorated?
Like my house. Cause it is my house.

4. Do you use all of your vacation every year?
I guess I'll have to answer yes, but it's Dan/Daddy's time we're using.

5. Did you have a real or fake Christmas tree?
It used to be a real one. Then I gave birth to the most allergic human being on the planet. Now it's a fake one. I miss the tree smell, but not the tree mess. Or the trips to the ER.

6. If you could have anything for dinner tonight, what would it be?
Anything cooked (well) by someone other than me.

7. Do you bite your fingernails?
No.

8. How many cups of coffee do you drink each day?
2 maybe. Unless it's a Starbucks kind of day. Then 3.

9. Do you have a nervous tick?
I don't think so. I talk with my hands. Does that count? I also jiggle my legs when I'm sitting. Does that count?

10. How often do you vacuum?
A lot. I can wear out a vacuum in no time flat. 2 cats and 1 boy means a lot of mess.

Again... Congratulations Auburn!! GO SEC!!

And hurry up and melt snow!!
