The One With a Winter Storm

Ok, I admit that I have only myself to blame. Afterall, they cancelled Parent-Teacher Conferences because the weather and roads were so bad. I think they intended that we all go home and stay off the roads. That would have been the smart thing to do.

I, however, thought - "What better time to go to Target?"

Well, to answer my own question, I would suggest that a better time to go to Target is on a day in which it doesn't take 45 minutes to drive there when it's normally only 15 minutes. Or maybe on a day on which you can actually tell where the off ramp that you think you are driving on is. Or perhaps on a day during which you don't get your car stuck in the Target parking lot because there are huge snowdrifts everywhere. Or maybe on a day when you can get your car up your nearly flat driveway the first time, rather than on the sixth or seventh attempt.

But, despite the fact that I spent nearly as much time outside of my car getting it unstuck as inside of my car driving it, I consider the trip completely essential: If I'm going to be snowed in, now at least I have nice new picture frames to look at.

Now if only my pictures would be delivered...
