this post is very useful.

today in the lani-roberts-homemaker-delux-crafty-ideas-of-every-kind blog, i'll be sharing some proven ideas to anyone who, like us, is stuck at home because of the snow.* i've tested each one out in my own happy home, and now... i'm sharing them with you! :D

  • clean the house. halfway through, realize the futility of cleaning a house to which no company will be coming for approximately 2 months (when the snow will melt). give up.
  • burn old files and magazines in the fireplace in lieu of stupid worthless storebought wood that wouldn't catch fire in a volcano.
  • experimental cooking. very experimental.
  • play lame-o computer games. the "retro" kind that are "so cool" because they're "just like when we were kids!" (aka: boooooring) ... for 3 hours.
  • dig out the shed. or the car. forget about the herb garden.
  • mail christmas letters. (good luck with that.)
  • be grumpy. if you're lucky, your spouse will be grumpy too. then you can have a grump war.
  • get a brother with a 4 wheel truck.
  • bake christmas cookies at midnight while watching santa claus 3, enchanted, and any other cute, clean movie available through netflix on demand. try not to splatter frosting on the computer.


*these ideas are probably worthless if you have children. or pets.

Ok, you mention the brother with a "4 wheel truck" do you mean 4-wheel-drive? or are you guys only riding bikes?

enjoy some cookies for us and take photos of the snow!

You two should be out playing in the snow! I think you've been inside too long!

I like the grump idea...in fact, I think I've even tried that one without being married. (In a pinch, roommates, siblings, and occasionally parents work well.) :)
