Today stunk

5 inches of heavy, wet, craptastic snow.  Howling winds up to 50 mph.  Power lines down.  Internet sporadic.  Radio stations off the air.  Huge lake sized puddles in the street.  Sloppy sludgy thick junk in the streets.  Roads closed.  Boo.

Grace went over to her friend Carli's today for the afternoon & evening.  They are both the youngest of 4 kids, so they know how to play the game :).  Grace bought her first ever issue of Tiger Beat at the store yesterday, and she had to call Carli last night to talk about it.  They were having a deep conversation about whether Justin Bieber or Taylor Lautner were cuter.  And about what they were going to do at Carli's the next day.  And they talked for 58 1/2 minutes.  These girlies are 7 years old.  I can see a cell phone in Grace's near future.  Remember when we used to have 'teen lines' when we were young?  Not me of course, because I was deprived (ha...or socially stunted, one of the two), but lots of my friends did.
