Blizzard...

What to do, what to do.

For those of us, 'stuck in the middle (of blizzard) with you.... I don't know what I'm gonna do.'...

Learn a foreign language. It's said, Spanish, Dutch and Norwegian are the easiest to learn.

Now, if you're like me, one, I will pray for your sorry butt, and two, once I've spent an hour or so because I HAVE TO withanyone, I get itchy, cranky, "please, getthehell outta here, but, have a nice day."

With concentrated Babbel effort, you can (smile, and) say things like 'Siempre pensé que eras un idiota', tell them it means "I'd pick only you to go to the Iditarod with - when really, in EsPanol you're telling them 'I've always thought you were an idiot.'

Mean, maybe, but then you could smile, flash the heart sign with your hands and say 'Kom er overheen', which, kinda sounds like 'come over here', you know, maybe to watch a movie, play Uno (that's 'one' in Spanish), but actually Kom er overheen means "Get over it" in Dutch.

Maybe you'd start to feel guilt, so then I reckon you could (again, smile, then) say 'ta en lang spasertur fra en kort brygge' which, I don't really know what it sounds like, but, in Norwegian means 'Take a long walk on a short pier.'

Or, I guess you could play Solitare, Farmville (geez, remember those requests) Sudoku, or,  Mahjong (supposedly helps us old farts keep our brain status quo (skeery, ain't it.)

We could, rearrange the spice rack... blindfold ones self, open the junk drawer, grab something within,  holler and play "Whats this?"

Listen to, watch, eleven straight hours of "Don't go anywhere", so, take a spin. Or, walk the dog. If you do, take a baggy. For poop of course right Vic?  No, mix up some Icyhot and Vaseline, put it in the bag in case Fido has a 'Flick-like' accident with a fire hydrant. Well, not exactly like, but, you know.

Paint the spare bedroom, watch it dry.

Get out that 1,000 piece puzzle and complete it now that you found the last piece when you were blindfolded, stuck hand in junk drawer and hollered "what's this?"

Listen to Alice's Restaurant, five times. In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, 12 times. Play it backwards.

Thread 7 needles since you have the time and you won't have to do it in a frenzied hurry next time.

Call Dairy Queen and ask "Any truth to the rumor Blizzards are BOGO?"

If your electricity goes out, grab all the goodies in the freezer, put em in a trash bag in the trash bin outside. Hell, they ain't coming for two weeks anyways.

Play Pong. With your Pirate Patch on.

Create a new, lookalike Facebook page. Invite all your present friends. It's hella quicker to check in on buddies versus texting, calling or emailing them.

Call Uber and see what they'd charge to take you to your next door neighbors.

Hide your dog's tennis ball in the junk drawer, then holler "Go get your ball!" excitedly.  I'm teasing, I'm teasing!  But, you could do it in Spanish 'Ve a buscar tu pelota', Dutch 'Ga je bal halen' or Norwegian '

Gå og hent ballen', that wouldn't be mean. I mean heck, they rotate their head mosta the time to English anyways.

Could exercise, clean, breakout that tooth whitener junk you bought two years ago.

Nah.

You could..   drink WAY too much coffee.

Nah.

Or, I guess you could blog.

That's the stupidest idea yet.

Love, Victurd
