I hate snow, but the dogs have been good about doing their thing in the driveway rather than dragging us through drifts taller than they are.
We've also gotten around just fine in the Rover. First thing yesterday we ran by Aristocrat to see if I could pick up a new windshield wiper to replace the one I broke off (further inspection revealed it was just the blade, thank God). There were no signs or anything but the parts department was closed. I drove around to the showroom. The first guy suggested an auto parts store. Just as I said that the full-service service station by my home didn't have one another salesman said "oh no they won't, those are dealer items." If I knew that why wouldn't Salesman 1? But then the second guy said "is it for your LR3? Pull down there and I'll take one off one of ours." The day was saved, and I'll bitch slightly less about Aristocrat's service until the next time they piss me off.
While we were out we ran by the mall to put up my 50% off booth closing signs, picked up a couple things Brett needed from the office, and bought a Wii. Yes, we bought a Wii. We've been thinking about it for a long time, and since we hadn't done anything for Christmas we finally pulled the trigger. My Mii is wearing a black shirt and a black stocking cap and has a little soul patch, he's adorable.We got Wii Fit Plus as well. After completing the diagnostics, I'm proud to report that my Wii Fit age is 35! The games you play on the balance board are surprisingly active. We're hoping to each do about 30 minutes a day in an effort to lose some weight. I'm calling it The Wii Hour.

Wowwee! You're having a WHITE Christmas.
We are. With yellow patches in the driveway.
It is pretty, looking out from the breakfast room at the white covered garden. White winter is much prettier than brown winter!
Oliver -- the corgi is brave about going out -- for as long as it takes and then he immediately wants back in (and lets us know) -- the snow is up to his tummy so it must be cold for him!
We're south of you and didn't get the snow you did yesterday and last night -- and I'm glad -- what we have is pretty -- we don't need any more!
It IS pretty.
Thank goodness the corgis have thick fur Martha, keeps those low bellies warm!
It is a pretty snow, just such a mess. The only upside is that I don't currently have to worry about the floors.
David. this weather is when I love having a condominium! Of course I really do not want to drive in this weather! Do you have a drop leaf table in your inventory. I want a very inexpensive one because I am planning to do it in black lacquer. Let me know....
I know what you mean Karena, Brett and I have already thought "wow, bad year to move out of the condo back to a house."
No table I'm sorry to say, down to odds and ends I'm hoping will move at half off so I don't have to bring them home.
Mii's and Wii's. Hmm. Are you spelling challenged, David, or is this the Next Big Thing that country boy hasn't heard about yet?
I'm astonished my Kodak camera takes movies.
You'd like the Wii Russ, you hold the controller in your hand and swing it like a tennis racquet, golf club, bowling ball, whatever sporting equipmen a particular game requires, and your guy on tv (your Mii) moves.
Then theres a board you stand on for balance and strength games, yoga, ski jumping, slalom. It's a blast.
35!?!! Mazel tov!
Ha ha ha, David, I drove around KC yesterday and saw that you really got dumped on - the roads (I took the S/E loop 435) were clear but I was thinking about you...
There is a great post over on the Highway Hags blog (access through my blog listings) about how they learned to do the Wii thing while SITTING IN THEIR RECLINERS. Honestly, they crack me up. Truckers forever.
I'm in the Heart of Darkness, Bentonville, AR today, trying to get a flight to Shreveport, LA to pick up a truck. This town is bought and sold by the Walmart. They are everywhere - every exit on US Hwy 71 has one I think.
Surely the sun will return to melt the snow, no? And forecast for Dallas today (where I am headed after picking up the truck) - SNOW. Lovely.
