Snow....Again

This morning I woke up to more snow on the ground. Usually I am excited for snow because I would rather have snow than rain but this morning I was a little annoyed. One of the reasons being that Dan's school got cancelled so he gets the day off; Two, my office NEVER closes no matter how much snow we get; Three, as I was digging out my car this morning I kept thinking about going skiing & I know that's not going to happen; Four, the roads were perfectly fine on my drive into work! No reason for the schools to be closed. When I was in high school we rarely had cancellations & PA got some huge snow storms; we would always pray for a snow day but usually never got one. VA is totally different; everyone freaks out even when we only get 2 inches. This weekend we are suppose to get more snow so I'm sure I will be in a better mood when that happens because I'll be at home & not forced to go to work. I'm hoping my mood changes by this afternoon because I am a little crabby & my boss is in the office all day today, yay! (Loads of sarcasm).

Posting Comments

For the past few months I have had some family & friends say that they have tried posting comments on our blog but have been unsuccessful. This is odd to me because fellow Blogger members have been able to post comments so I'm not quite sure what the problem is. I did go into my settings to see if everything was set up the way I want it & it is. So, I thought I would take you through the steps of comment posting just in case you might be missing a step in the process. Here you go:

1. Go to the post that you want to comment on & click on "0 comments".

2. Our blog will reload & scroll down to the box that says "Post a comment" & type in the white box.

3. Once you are finished typing click on the arrow box where it says "Comment as:". Most of you will need to comment as "Anonymous" if you do not have a Blogger account - make sure you sign your name so we know who is leaving the comment :o).

4. You can then click either the "Post comment" or "Preview" buttons.

5. Our blog will reload a second time & then scroll down to make sure you receive a highlighted message that says "Your comment will be visible after approval".

Success! I hope this helps everyone. Let me know if you are still having problems because we love to read your comments & would hate to miss out on them just because of a little computer glitch. :o)

Movie Night(s)

On my way home from work on Friday Dan called & talked me into going out to eat which did not take too much convincing because I had no desire to work out & I knew that if we went to dinner I would not work out when we got home. We decided to go to Red Robin which we had not been for a while; I really missed their turkey burger. :o) During dinner we decided to go to Blockbuster & rent some movies. We usually have a movie night every weekend so this was normal for us. We weren't able to decide between 3 movies so we ended up getting all of them: The Proposal; Public Enemies & Whiteout. After our movie purchases we walked over to Giant to get some snacks. Dan always gets ice cream & I picked out some candy. This time I got candy corn & I was so excited they had it because usually I can't find it unless its around Halloween. When we finally got home we only had enough time to watch 1 movie so we watched The Proposal & I really liked it; its a chick flick but I think Dan liked it too because Ryan Reynolds is pretty hilarious. Like always, Dan did not break out his ice cream until after the movie so he kept eating my candy corn & we ended up finishing the entire bag.
On Saturday night we decided to stay in again & watch Public Enemies. This is one of those movies where I was rooting for the bad guy, Johnny Depp. If you haven't seen it I'm not going to ruin it for you because it is a pretty good movie. I recommend it.
On Sunday Dan had a baseball meeting in the afternoon so while he was gone I watched Whiteout; probably not the best movie to be watching alone because I thought it was scary. It was about a series of murders in Antarctica & of course there were a lot of dead bodies. I don't do well with scary movies. I had to cover my eyes at some parts but other than that it was entertaining. There is no way I could have watched that at night. I'm sure Dan would have liked it because it has Kate Beckinsale in it. Of course, what guy wouldn't like her.
I hope everyone had a relaxing weekend & stayed warm.
