Mega Pussi!

We ran a bunch of errands today (in the -27 c weather) and went to the "Prisma" grocery store and found these potato chips called "Megapussi!"!!! It apparently means something akin to Big Bag.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are having a lovely time, though Rose hates the cold, and the time change, too.

Hi!

We made it to Kuopio!!

Proof:

That's cranky Rose, happy Me, and Happy S!

We are jetlagged, but all is well, super cold snap (read -15 degrees farenheit) be damned!

More later. Must sleep now.

Well, we're off tomorrow (after the first all nighter we have pulled since Rose was born, getting the house ready), watch this space for pics and adventure reports!

(yes we had a nice holiday, Rose got plenty of stuff, all is well, just stressed!)

I am thinking of this for my post-holiday cards...?



And here are Rose and Caven with my mom and I, note the impressive size of the feet!

Tis the season...

for new digital cameras!

Ours is on the way, but my dad already got his.... here's the proof!

And her true favorite pastime... dog torture! (the victim pictured is my sister and BIL's dog, Smokey... he's a real sport)

Yes, I am fully aware that there are evil works afoot in the world, even though my power has been out and I am not paying as close of attention as ususal. See Mandelicious's blog for a description of some of the worst.

These are terrifying times.

Peace on Earth and Goodwill to All Men (but not women, or Muslims, or and small sea creatures off the coast of Spain for that matter)

The power did finally come back on. All is basically well.

Now to pack the house and us and do xmas and get on a plane!

Yeah we had to throw out a whole fridge of food.

Power was on when I left, but is now out at my folks house which is close to ours so likely ours is back out. The carpet cleaners were there so I don't know what will happen with that I am at work.

I think there will be a mudslide on our propane tank too, and I called the propane company and they basi ally said not to worry even if there is it will just shut off and to call them if it does happen. At least we can't be held liable now.

shit, I just want to make maple pecans and sleep in a warm house. Is that so wrong?

Power is back!

But for how long?

We are frantically cleaning and packing and xmasing and repeating.

More later.

No power yet.
