Winter Storms

CT got hit by it's first winter storm of the season... and did it. Sure the shoreline only got about 2-3 inches... or ICE. Inland got about 5-8 inches of snow... which I'd take any day. Our driveway is still ice b/c I couldn't shovel the ice off yesterday for a couple of reasons... one... I have a 1 yr old.. and secondly (my second storm of the season).... I had to visit an oral surgeon. For those who know me, I'm a baby when it comes to pain. So for years now, I've been putting off getting my wisdom teeth pulled... unfortunately, I have no choice now.

It's a great diet plan.... too much pain to eat or even talk at times... but such is life. So next Friday is D-Day...Dr pulls teeth day.... and since I bruise easily, I'll probably be nicely black and blue and maybe some swelling for Christmas.... just hope I heal fast!!

Now back to the snow.... since I spent my afternoon in a chair getting x-rayed and signing my life away... I couldn't shovel. So when I came back with my antibiotics in hand, my little civic became the little engine that could (n't). We tried and tried, but I knew I'd either hit the house or the new Pilot (and I knew Dan wouldn't be happy about either one).

So alas, yesterday was not a happy day in Erica's world ... but it is better than next Friday I can tell you that now.... I've heard many a story/trauma about getting the wisdom teeth pulled, but the comforting fact is that my Dr is Santa... he isn't fat like Santa, but his beard is definitely Santa and his reception/assistant is Mrs. Claus.... so I know I'll be OK... or at least on laughing gas, I'll feel OK :)

And speaking of Storms: We are getting hit by another ... a Nor'easter will be coming in after midnight tonight. The CT shoreline will eventually get all rain (which will probably all freeze tomorrow anyway).... but the 'storm' will be in Foxboro, MA when the Pats host the Jets. For those of you who don't know/remember... it was the Jets who "blew the whistle" on the Pats for "videotaping plays" and "cheating". The Jets claimed that is why they lost. I, along with the rest of the world, believe that Belichick and the Pats will really show the Jets what a storm is like and have no mercy. The Pats even 'simulated' a storm and put snow on the field to practice for Sundays' game... watch out Jets because the Pats are on their way to a 16-0 Perfect Season... and they certainly don't care if the Jets fall.....

That is the latest Storm news for CT and New England....
