It's so sad when weekends are over

moonwiseEspecially when you've had about the best excuse in the world to sit inside and watch TV.
Like about 50% of the folks on my flist, my area got dumped on this weekend, with maybe 13 - 15 inches falling all told. It was a good opportunity to test out some of the recipes from my Cooking Light magazine, since we definitely wouldn't be going out to dinner until we were dug out.
The snow started right on time at about noon on Saturday. Husband and I went out to the Borders for some reading material (hence "Romance of the Three Kingdoms Vol. 1) and by the time we were done it was flurrying. Afterwards, husband wanted to go to the mall, and on impulse we picked up some cheap sleds from Kaybee. Snow was starting to come down in a hurry on our way out, and from then on, we were housebound.
Not that it was a bad thing. I downloaded a buttload of stuff and watched a couple eps of various anime, and husband watched the two parts of "Band of Brothers" that he'd missed. That show's too intense for me, esp. the field triage scenes. (There's a reason I didn't go pre-med.) That night was the test run of the beef brisket in zinfandel, and it was pretty decent. If I had to do it again, I'd use a cabernet-merlot and would skip the sugar. Grade: B-.
Husband eventually conked out on the couch and I watched eps 10 and 11 of RahXephon before turning in myself. The plot thickens. Really want to know who/what Quon is, and Ayato continues to be an engaging hero, in no small part because the show is so reminiscent of Eva except with 1000% less whining.
By the time we went to bed, there were about eight inches of snow on the ground, and it looked like the storm was cranking down. It must have snowed like hell overnight, because when we woke up, it was like they hadn't even plowed. Husband and I went out sledding and met two very happy golden retrievers out for a walk - there aren't too many creatures happier than a dog in snow. Football kept us entertained for the rest of the day, and now we're considering a Boston vs. Philly Revolutionary War theme for our Super Bowl party.
Thankfully, the roads were clear this morning, as J&J only delays an opening in the case of nuclear war. (Though to be fair, husband didn't get a delay either.)
Back to work.
