I feel like the mailman from the Hey Arnold episode who says “I hate the snow, I hate the snow, man I sure do hate the snow.” Day 6 is in full swing of being snowed in. I actually miss working! Leaving early Friday was cool and all, but my roommates and I are definitely falling victim to cabin fever. You can only watch so many movies before your brain turns into soup. This is probably the most uneventful blog entry I have posted yet.
On Wednesday, one of my roommates, Melissa, and I decided to take a taxi across the bridge to the shopping center is that houses Target, Best Buy, and more. We went relatively early and managed to do all we needed to do in about an hour. We bought and rented some movies, and stocked up on some delicious junk food. The shelves were bare in Target, with only a small amount of groceries, milk, and bread remaining. In Best Buy, there was fortunately a bunch of movies that were still there. We managed to pick up a few, and caught our taxi back here. The rest of my day consisted of sitting around, watching movies, and twiddling my thumbs. Last night we watched The Stepfather, which just came out on DVD, courtesy of RedBox. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it, and it was only PG-13.
During the movie the miraculous men of Peapod, our grocery delivery finally arrived! I had been waiting for them since Thursday so I was EXTREMELY pleased to receive all of my food! I almost forgot what real chicken tastes like. They were super nice and brought all of my groceries up to my room. They do this service in a few states, so if you ever have a chance, check it out! It’s really convenient (when there isn’t a blizzard ruining your delivery time).
Also, during our cabin fever induced week/weekend/week, my roommate Natalie baked us all a Valentine’s cake. It was delicious and super cute!
Today (Thursday) the four of us went to see Dear John. While I liked it, it was of course different than the book, which was written by Nicholas Sparks. Afterwards, we did a Target run and ended up back at our apartment. Tomorrow we actually get to go to work! I never thought I would be so excited to do such a thing.
…My apologies for such a dry entry. I wanted to do some sightseeing but Mother Nature planned otherwise. Hopefully this weekend the Metro will be in full swing, just in time for Valentine’s Day and Presidents Day!
