@mrsellars – Apparently Skippy the Squirrel is even more cunning than I first imagined. It would seem he has Internet access and reads my blog.
@mrsellars – Squirrel jerky and snow suit no longer viable options. Fall back to plan B. Make snowsuit out of blankets. Take empty suitcase to student center and steal food from Convention Hospitality Suite.
@mrsellars – Walkies….

@Con_Registration_1 @mrsellars – Walkies…
@mrsellars – If you turn your back long enough, I’ll just take the coffee pot back to my room (lol).

Your forgot the ShamWow infomercial, oh and the other ENHANCEMENT ones too. ROFL Well I warned ya about those early spring storms. Did ya pack ANY LONG pants at all? Poor thing, you don’t even have a 4 cupper in your room? That has to SUCK big time. Try to stay warm. Too bad EK isn’t there to help keep ya warm. 😉

Deb, did you see that the ShamWow guy got arrested for beating up a hooker? I knew there was something creepy about him…
Murple, if there were a way to send coffee via the ethereal plane, I’d be sharing this amazingly good honey vanilla latte I’m drinking right now. Mmmmmmm…..
Crank the heat and hunker down. And keep us posted, cuz we worry.

P.S. It’s 58 and clear here at home. That worries me.
P.P.S. Blues lost to Dallas, and both Anaheim and Nashville are winning. Ugh.

Tasialue I had no idea!!! OMG..I agree that guy does look a bit “OFF”.
Nothing back from Murv yet. Hope he isn’t a Popsicle. I also hope he still has electricity.
It was 65 and clear today, we get the same tomorrow. That spells a drying out for the rest of the country in time. Almost everything passes though here first. Darn the Northwest…..LOL

Tasia – LOL @ shamwow guy being creepy, glad I’m not the only one that thinks so. Thanks, I needed a giggle. 😉
Murv, just remember to layer well, and bath towels make excellent snow-booties if necessary. And they can add extra fiber to the diet if it comes own to it….
