Yes, I have it! And so do the girls. We have been snowed in the past two days. At first it was great. With the snow flying and the wind howling, it was nice to just have a day I had to stay home. I baked cookies and made fudge. Ashley baked a batch of cookies too. Morgan and her friend Brianna (who got stuck with us) put up the artificial tree. They also baked a batch of cookies. I'm not sure where they went wrong, but those ended up in the trash! We also played Trouble and a card game. We were going to watch a Christmas movie, until we realized we could only find Elf and It's A Wonderful Life and we'd just seen Elf and we watch IAWL on Christmas Eve. I know we have Miracle on 34th Street, I just don't know where it is. So that evening I soaked in a hot bath with lavendar bubbles and crawled into bed having enjoyed my day. Yesterday I was a little antsy. I still have shopping to do. I was getting bored. I cleaned up the basement, I caught up on some e-mail. We played Trouble and finished our card game we'd started the day before. I cleaned my bedroom (it was a much needed task that I'd kept putting off). I talked on the phone. I made a list. I made breakfast and supper. I really need to get out of this house!
So today I woke up and called my hubby (who, BTW, is on his way home from NE) to make sure I knew exactly how I'm supposed to use the 4W drive on the Durango. I got in the shower, actually put on makeup and did my hair and I am ready to get out! Thanks to our friend Kent, I can get out of the driveway. He came over and used our snow blower to dig us out. Unfortunately for him, he has no snow blower and it took him 4 hours to shovel out his own driveway! Anyway, I woke the girls up and said "it "time to get out of the house" day!" Get up! Get up! I'd warned them yesterday I wasn't waiting around for them to sleep until noon. I need to get out NOW!! So here I sit....Ashley just got out of the shower, Morgan, hopefully, is getting in. I'm ready! Lets get that Christmas shopping done! Lets get those groceries! Lets talk to people other than each other! Lets eat lunch out! Good thing we don't get snowed in often....I'm not sure how well I'd handle it!

I'm with you--one snowed-in day is usually fun. Anything beyond that can be tedious. Though we were snowed in for 5 days back in '94 and it ended up quite fun. Luckily we have friends in the neighborhood, so we weren't just looking at each other the whole time.
