Clipped again…

Tuesday morning, it had stopped snowing and, other than my side street, the roads were clear. I remembered my belt, so things were looking up!

There was another Alberta Clipper forecasted, but it was not supposed to hit until about 2:00 PM. The combination of cold and wind was wicked, though. But, I still went to Home Depot during lunch, to check on some prices. On the way out of the store, I bought two hot dogs, topped them with mustard and onions and ate them in the car. I still had time, so I went home and treated the cats.

The snow held off until about 4:00 PM, so the drive home wasn’t as bad as I had feared.  It was a quick-moving storm and we were not supposed to more than 1-2 inches of snow until it fizzled out.

When I got home after work, I retrieved my garbage can and then went inside to treat the cats, make a cup of coffee and watch the news and weather. Wednesday is supposed to be sunny (that would be nice) but another Alberta clipper is coming on Thursday, this time with predictions of 2-4 inches of snow.

I had bought a small eggplant for some Italian dish or another I hadn’t made yet, and I decided I had to either use the eggplant or throw it out. So, I peeled it, sliced it, dunked it in egg and then breaded it in flour and fried it up in canola oil for my dinner. Maybe Carl is right and I am turning into my Mother, but I do love fried eggplant!

The snow seemed to have stopped by the time it was full dark and I doubt we got even an inch. Let’s hope the Thursday clipper turns out the same.

I watched the last of the news and two taped DIY shows. Then I watched a movie recommended by Jake:  “The Conversation,” a 1974 American psychological thriller film written, produced and directed by Francis Ford Coppola. It was gripping and, I must admit, a little unsettling for a person who lives alone.

I’m not sure Jake thought that one through… or maybe he did… Hmmm…

I had to watch another DIY show afterwards so that I could fall asleep…
