Fashion Rubbers - Tingley
Category: clothes

My whole life I made fun of my dad for wearing rubbers on his shoes. Then as ana adult I got my own fancy leather shoes and syarted walking to work through the salty slush. Suddenly, it all made sense so for christmas this year I asked for my own rubbers and got em from my dad. I have been wearing them ever since.

When I was 14 and working at McCrory's this old guy came and asked me for rubbers and I kept on pointing at the condoms, I had no idea he was looking for these.

I would so get those too... It's so nice being able to walk around with nice shoes here and not having to worry about them getting ruined. Especially so be I seem to love suede heels in various colors.

Lima Beans and Grapefruit
Category: food

Only a few things were left in the fridge and I couldn't get the car oit so I decided to do some weird mix and matching. I came up with lima beans in pink grapefruit sauce. I wish the color was better in the picture. The light green on pink was really pretty.

The Freakin Snow
Category: weather

Its so deep right now. I can't believe someone parked at the end of my driveway like there wasn't a driveway. We shoveled the snow onto their car like it wasn't there.

Now it is illegal to toss snow from the side walk or drive way into the street but I guess onto the car is legal ? Crazy how so many people don't shovel or only do like a walk way and not in front of the entire house... The snow is deep and I'm not in deep snow walking shape....... Wonder what the person thought when they came back and found snow on their car....

Oh yeah. I was the home owner with an illegally parked car at the end of my driveway when I got home after 14 hours of work. I just wanted to park in my driveway, silly old man that I am.

You can call the Buffalo PD and ask that the car get a ticket for illegal parking. It happened to me. Fortunately for the illegally parked car and myself, the cop and figured who the car belonged to and got it moved.
Under some circumstances, you could get the car towed (but I'm not really sure what those circumstances are).

First one Shoveled
Category: winter

Walking home through a foot of snow sucked. I was the first one shoveled on my block for once. I am not even bothering with the driveway as the car never goes anywhere.

metalpeter - 12/27/12 21:29
Seems crazy that you went to work and no one had shoveled on your block by when you came back... But if people use a side entrance it makes sense. But also shoveling is one of those things that if done the correct way the scraping wakes people up... It woke me up this morning then over to my mothers place... Now my place they did the walk between houses and in front of one of them not the others...ARGh ... Not to mention there is a corner house where they only did the front and not the side....ARGH...

Tablet Christmas
Category: holidays

My mom kept hinting she wanted something touchscreen for a while now so (e:mike) and I got my parents a tablet for christmas. We got them the Asus transformer tablet 300t. Its 32gb, quad core with tegra 3 graphics running Jelly Bean 4.1.2. The hdmi out works great with the tv so they can rent movies on google play and stream them right to the tv.

At first we had reservations if they would/could use it but by the time I left they were so into it that I witnessed my mom try and pull it out of my dads hands to play a game he was playing, haha.

On the way home mike and I both google talked them to say we were home and they responded via the tablet. They even gave me a google talk voice chat to say goodnight.

I got them on pandora, google talk, a bunch of games, google music, google play, google earth, skype, chrome and more.

It was fun ripping their old CDs on their comp and watching the songs seamlessly show up on their google music app on the tablet.

Then we played a cooperative game of word search.

Top of my gift list this year: two pairs of texting gloves (wool pair and leather driving gloves) and the simple design salad bowl I have wanted for months. Now I am goung to need the whole collection.
