A Blizzard, Spaghetti and Matching Outfits

This morning brought us a big blizzard.  I think the best snowstorm of the season so far at least.  It was kind of a wet snow this that melted and wrecked my dry hair when I went outside (which resulted in a less than thrilling ponytail for the day!) but it was still cold enough to pile up and the weather station at Joe’s work is reporting about 6.5 inches although that can vary a lot depending on location up here.  It felt like more snow to me when I was brushing off my car today after work and tromping through drifts in the parking lot.  Joe had to plow when he got home from work today and it has  continued to snow in the past couple of hours so you can’t even see the plow lines any longer.

Since we both worked today and then Joe had to plow and do his training after work we just had a simple spaghetti supper with enough leftovers to feed us for lunch tomorrow and give the dogs a little bit of a snack.

I didn’t feel like hauling out all the vegetables to make a big salad so I grabbed tomatoes and lettuce and that was it.  Too bad I didn’t realize that tomato was basically the only vegetable we were already eating because then I could have picked a pepper or carrot instead! Oh well.  We got a large, large dose of tomato tonight.. especially since I made the spaghetti with extra sauce! Mmm.

Cora and Buddy got a little bit of spaghetti leftovers along with a meatball for a snack.  Mostly for Buddy because he doesn’t eat much anymore and has lost a lot of weight and we want to spoil him because he is old and won’t last too much longer but Cora did get some too because we never want her to feel all left out either! Both dogs really love spaghetti and meatballs!

And finally, I mentioned matching outfits.  While Joe was plowing and after I finished most of my own chores I went upstairs and changed into my blue comfy pants and my Canal run shirt from the run Joe and I did together last summer.  When Joe came in from plowing he went right up to workout and didn’t notice my outfit so when he came downstairs after his shower he accidentally picked the same outfit that I had on and we matched! It was pretty cute.  I couldn’t have picked better myself

We are so cool.
