Not Me! Blizzard Weekend

I think my biggest Not Me of the week is: Megan did not learn how to pick mama's nose!  She usually takes that little pointer finger of hers and weasles her way into my mouth to feel my tongue and teeth.  On Saturday morning we were cuddling on the couch and I had my eyes closed, hoping she would follow by example, when the next thing I felt was her little finger (with unclipped nail) going up my left nostril!  She did it to John the next day too and a few more times to me as well.  It's not as bad when she goes for the mouth first and then the nose.  But when it's the other way around.... you get the picture....

I did not head up to church last Tuesday night just to find out that MOPS was really next week...

I did not bake and work on my cookies for the 2nd annual Lewis/Kauffman cookie exchange every single night last week - and after 3 grocery store runs for ingredients.  We had to make two different kinds of cookies and a dozen of each of the eight people invited.  That was a lot of cookies!  Then, wouldn't you know, come Saturday there was not the 5th largest snowstorm that Minnesota had ever faced, postponing the get-together to the next day.  I talked about the upcoming event a lot at work last week so on Friday all my co-workers (and my mom) were very concerned about me leaving the house with Megan.  I brought my cookies along on Friday night to the Lewis birthday bash so those who did go to the exchange on Sunday could bring them along - thank you!  I don't know why, but even though we have all those cookies in the garage now, I still have an urge to bake!  Any ideas?

John did not have to work his entire 10-7 shift on Saturday during the blizzard.  The Home Depot did not let anyone leave early despite the store being completely dead.  The only thing selling was snowblowers!

I was not thankful that John was home on Sunday to drive Megan and me to church.  The streets were plowed, but still not well enough for my little Saturn.  I even had to drive the Explorer to a friend's holiday open house on Sunday.

On my Monday morning round trip I did not make the stupidest move ever by trying to cut from 212 over to highway 5 by way of Eden Prairie Road.  20 minutes later I really wish I would have stuck to my original route.  It only took me an hour fifteen minutes to get Megan dropped off!  I usually cut over on Dell which almost always proves beneficial.  I will never use Eden Prairie Road again.

Have a wonderful week everyone!  And stay warm!  Also, don't forget the real meaning of Christmas as we all rush to get the holiday shopping done.
