Did I ever tell you how much I love snow days?

Oh how I love snow days. I have been off work for almost a month and a half now (not my choosing....my boss just doesn't need me due to being off herself) and have been going crazy being couped up in this house. There is so much work to do around here, but a lot of things I can't do myself.

Well, the weather has been so crazy lately that even Pepsi shut down yesterday. YES, Pepsi shut down. So, Bill and I both had a snow day. It was perfect!!! We made breakfast together (usually Bill does this himself). We had eggs, potatoes and chopped up roast beef. All mixed together in the electric skillet. The only thing missing was mushrooms!!

After breakfast Bill took our new electric smoker and got it ready to smoke some deer meat. We love our new smoker. While Bill was messing with that, I decided to organize all of my photography stuff. I have so much of it. Drew, my brother, does photography too and has a basement big enough to store both of our equiptment. YAY....now I can clear up more space here at the house. Bill brought all my totes to the living room and I emptied them. I then sorted my stuff back into the totes. I labeled the totes and have them color coordinated so it is easier for me to find what I need. It will be easier for Drew too. It is going to be great using each others stuff because we don't have the same things.

Once that was done I carried the totes to the front porch so they were out of the way. At this time Bill was sitting on the couch relaxing and playing games on facebook. He is addicted!!! No doubt about it!! It was ok, he was out of my way!! We decided to go for a ride and take these totes to Drew's. Yes the weather was bad, but we were bored. We decided to take the tanning bed too. Yes, I did say tanning bed. My mom has one in the basement. She has had it for years. I don't like them and never use it so it is just sitting here collecting dust and cobwebs. Drew has been tanning occassionally so he is just going to take the tanning bed and place it in his basement. It will save him a lot of money. He is fair skinned like me so we burn easily. He will use this to get a base tan. I would rather just wait and use sunscreen for when I am in the sun.

Anyway....once we got home from that adventure, I ran the sweeper, hung up the curtains that I washed, scrubbed the kitchen and living room, and brought the computer desk in. Bill got the deer tenderloin marinated and ready for supper while I did this. Plus he played more games. LOL. We got a call from the plumber asking me what the issue has been. We got a new pump last week and now we have no water pressue. The plumber told us what to do so Bill played plumber for a while. It didn't work so the plumber will be back down this week when the weather clears up.

Bill and I made supper together. We had marinated deer tenderloin, shells n cheese, and french cut green beans. YUMMY!!! I also made 7-layer cookies for Bill. I only get 1 out of the whole pan of 24. He loves those things!!!

After supper and both of us cleaning up, Bill decided to play more games while I just relaxed. I was so tired after working hard all day. Bill got bored with his games so he decided to fix the floor upstairs. We have a broken board in the hallway on the landing at the top of the steps. He ripped up the carpet, went to the garage and cut the board, and came in and fixed it. WOW....he really can do everything. He is definitely a handy man!!

After fixing the floor, we both relaxed the rest of the night on the couch and watched a movie!! What a perfect snow day!!! I want more of those!!! The only bad thing about it.....Bill now has to work Saturday.

More posts to come!! I am looking for a job to do at home, not much luck there. Drew used to do typing from home, but he said the company he worked for no longer does that. Too bad....that would have been the perfect opportunity for me. I am looking for a babysitting job or a job sitting for elderly. If you know of anything, please let me know.
