Another lazy day. Kelly was up around 7 or 7:30 and I got up a little later and ate some breakfast, but then I went back to bed for a while, still needing to rest and be lazy. I spent most of the day watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy on DVD and finished up the last movie late in the evening.
Mid-afternoon we headed out to do shopping. Kelly headed off to Target and I went to the grocery store. I’d planned out the menus for the week and got what we needed.
For dinner this evening, I made up a pasta dish. Essentially, it was fettuccine with a "Marsala" sauce. I prepared mushrooms the same way I prepare them when making chicken Marsala but when the pasta was done cooking, I through it in the pan with the mushrooms and sauce and tossed it. It came out good. I also made caesar salads, and instead of garlic bread, I got some pita chips and hummus, spread the hummus on the chips and put a slice of cucumber on top.
I did manage to get a little reading done today.
It started snowing late this afternoon. I said to Kelly, "Let me see how much snow we’re supposed to get," since I hadn’t heard of any snow (or been paying attention to the weather for the last week). I went online to look, figuring it would be the usual "less than an inch". A minute later I said, "You’ve got to be [expletive removed]-ing kidding me!"
"What?" Kelly said.
"Am I reading this right? It says we’re supposed to get 5-8 inches of snow!"
For some reason, I had trouble sleeping. I tossed and turned for a while and then got up again and went downstairs to read. I finally went to bed around midnight.
