"Burial alive...it's such a stuffy death!"

Between 2PM today and early tomorrow morning we are to be "buried" under 8 inches to a foot of snow. Rachel and I hopped-to this morning for a pre-snow/Saturday stock-up, and had one of those shopping days where everything you need and more seems to magically land in your cart. Among the delightful items we've scored upon predictions of 8 inches to a foot of snow are a mammoth two-bags-per-box thing of Kellogg's Red Berries, 2 dozen Eggland's Best eggs, and a 750 count bottle of Ibuprofen, 2 handbags: one for knitting, one for just carrying, 3 pairs of shoes, 2 books and a box of $1 clearance Christmas Cards of DC in the snow.

Maybe it was merely the delicious Einstein bagels and muffins and hot coffee in our bellies that made us so pleased with ourselves...but it is only 1PM, the snow still hasn't hit, and we're feeling rather triumphant with our purchases.
