Groundhog Update

I guess all the groundhogs saw their shadow...

EARLY SPRING!!

Well...I'll believe it when I see it.

Happy Groundhog Day!

If the groundhog was smart, he'd stay in his hole.  LOOK AT ALL THE SNOW!  I guess that means 6 more weeks of winter for us.  Boooo.

Winter Watch

It's a little funny.  Every time you turn on the radio, or watch the TV, you hear about the giant snow storm heading this way.  It's supposed to hit at around midnight today.  I'll be fast asleep.  The news reports I'm hearing are very armageddon like.  In fact, a lot of newscasters are calling it snowmageddon.

Apparently it will the biggest snowstorm in quite a few years.  Some parts in Niagara are going to get 40 cm overnight.  That's more snow in one night, than we typically get in the entire month of February.  

What does this mean?  Well, schools have already been canceled (without a single snowflake on the ground yet).  Hotels are booked solid (with people wishing not to commute in the morning).  People are stocking their basements with food (incase they're snowed in).  It's crazy!!

And, the icing on the cake...

It's no longer a winter storm warning, it's a blizzard warning.  What's a blizzard?  It's when there's zero visibility for more than four hours.  ZERO VISIBILITY FOR OVER FOUR HOURS!!!

Thank god I don't work tonight!!  :)

When do I go to Vietnam again?

Number Seven

Today I watched Winter's Bone, the seventh of ten Oscar picks.  It was a 'WTF' kind of movie.  It's not that I didn't like it, just that I'd probably never watch it again.  To be completely honest, I'm not sure I totally understood it.  Anyway, seven down, three to go!

Number Six

Just finished my sixth Oscar movie - The Social Network. 

I was a little disappointed.  After hearing SO many great things, I found the movie a little boring.  I guess that's what happens every time.  The most popular movies never seem to live up to the expectations I create in my head.  That being said, it's not a 'bad' movie, just not really that exciting.

Oh and P.S.

I'm back at a "Type 3.5"

My life is back to perfect.  :)

Balls to you!

If you haven't seen the viral video of Liza Minnelli saying, "Balls to you," you must go and watch it right now.  I don't know how many times I've seen it.  Over 100, for sure.  It makes me smile every time.  It only takes two seconds (literally) so go and watch it now!  Here's the link:

So, "Balls to you" has become a catch phrase in the Casa de Sloan.  Whenever someone is bothering one of us, our response is, "balls to you!"  And we don't just say it...no no no, we have the have the buggy eyeballs and the bopping head to go with it (please refer to the video).

Sean - "Joe!  Did you eat the last banana?  I was saving it for my lunch!"

Joe - "Balls to you"

...and we all break out in laughter.

Ally - "Sean, you need to drive me to the mall."

Sean - "Balls to you"

...and we all break out in laughter.

See the theme?  Anyway, next time someone bugs you, just say "Balls to you."  Even if they don't get it, everyone will bust a gut laughing.
