Recently we have packed up my belongings and placed them into boxes for now because we are redoing my bedroom. As I'm sure I'll miss my old teal and purple Charlotte Hornets inspired bedroom with green shag carpet, it was time for a change.

Sadly, this little guy wasn't able to join the boxes with everything else, for he is stuck to this shelf. He has been stuck to this shelf for years....This is Stretch Armstrong's dog, Fetch. Evidently if he explodes the corn starch will make him stick to the surface of whatever he is laying on.

So new carpet, yes. New paint, yes. But I think I will always have a bit of my childhood hanging out on a shelf.

Today is Super Bowl Sunday and the Green Bay Packers has just defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers. I am not a Steelers fan, but I am so not a Green Bay fan. Green Bay is my arch nemesis, because...after all I am a Bears Fan.



But, in all seriousness, it was a very good game, and even I can admit defeat. So, Congratulations to Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.

But....be prepared for the Bears.

For the past, I don't even remember the years because its been so long, I have been closing Saturday nights at IGA. Basically a night at IGA is the same routine, night after night, week after week, month after month, year after year. You get the picture.

After my 11 years at Harmon's Market, sometimes I need to find ways to entertain myself so I don't go crazy. Now, don't think I don't do my job, I do, I just sometimes have a bit of downtime...yah, I could always reface or clean something, but why be an over achiever?

Anyway, tonight I decided to make use out of the random inches of snow we got today. The snow wasn't the awesome packable snow that you need in order to make a great snow man, but I made due with what I had.

After piling, and somewhat molding the snow, cutting out some cardboard wings, grabbing a carrot and using pen caps for eyes, I present you with the IGA Snow Bird.

Well, here I am, another exciting Friday night.

I know that not every Friday needs to be crazy exciting, and I guess I was pretty content with this one. I hungout with Tanning Tara Tackett, played the lyric came with Tim Cocagne, and chatted it up with Elisa, I could think of worse ways to spend a Friday night.

It is said that people with blue eyes are more sensitive to the sun light. I have blue eyes, and today was a very blinding day.

The sun was out in full force and when I awoke I even heard birds chirping, I'm pretty sure these birds were just drunk because even though it looked rather bright and happy outside, it was still very cold.

I went outside to greet the day armed with an ice scraper so I could free my car from its frosty grips. What I was welcomed with was a very blinding site, but once my eyes adjusted, it was also really pretty.

Well, the ice storm is over so now we are left with lots of ice and really cold temperatures. As usual on a Wednesday night, I closed down the ol' IGA, which wasn't too bad because we were very dead.

After taking deposit and I decided to do one of my favorite things. Grabbed my Kindle, headed to the leather recliner in the living room and decided to read.

This is probably how I'm going to spend the rest of my night, so everyone out there, stay warm and good night.

Well, February greeted us with an ice storm. Thanks February!

Supposedly snow is on its way, but who knows...what I do know is, it might take me at least a decade to get into my car.

Be careful out there everyone!
