This is the view my husband is enjoying this week:
Been there already done that once before.
We lost power during an ice storm years ago for five days.
Here at our house that means we not only have no electricity, but we also have no water
AND
WE CANNOT FLUSH THE TOILETS!
My wonderful husband missed that entire episode.
He was strolling around the San Antonio Riverwalk.
He pulled in the driveway thirty minutes after the power came back on.
AND…
he came home empty handed…. no roses or diamonds or hot takeout food or
nothing!
Tonight we are going to bed with our bathtubs full of water.
We will at least be able to use that water to flush the toilets if we do loose power.
We did a battery and flashlight check this afternoon
and
bought the last gallon of fat free organic milk at the grocery store.
So bring on the snow and ice tomorrow……
and dear husband, you bring on the presents!
This is what those of us he left at home are expecting tomorrow:

LOVE this post! You need to send it as an email attachment JUST IN CASE he doesn't read your blog! :)
Ha, love it! Looks the same here!! And it is still coming down. Fortunately, we have water and power for now. Stay warm!!
Enjoy the snow! Hopefully you keep power and can stay cozy inside.
I feel you! I am looking at 14+ inches of snow and still coming down at my home in Maryland while my husband is playing golf in Florida. Definitely something wrong with this picture!!!
I had the alternative. A husband working from home shooshing us when he was on his conference calls yesterday. Ha! So thankful for the sunshine this morning! I hope our Valentine plans are still on tonight even though my hair apt is off. :( This is too much snow for Raleigh!
I hope this storm was more gentle this time around but sounds like you were prepared! It's really been an unbelievable winter even for us in Buffalo where snow is expected! I'm so ready for spring and green grass! Have a wonderful weekend!
