Dreaming of a White… Halloween?

by Cait @ Beyond Bananas on October 30, 2011

Chea. We had a doozy of a storm yesterday.  A lot of the state is without power. (My parents included) … with a message from the power company of “Please plan to be without power for an extended period of time…”

 

Our doors are open for the fam! Come on down! :) (Although our heat isn’t working right.. we don’t have cable, internet, or phone..)

 

I won’t lie .. it was very strange to see tons of snow falling.. with all of the leaves still on the trees!

 

 

 

Yea! Some of the leaves are still green! Pretty? Yes. Dangerous.. oh, my YES!

Leaves on Tress + Heavy Snow = Lots of heavy tree branches crashing to the ground.

 

I tested out the temperatures…

And threw on something a little more weather appropriate:

 

Okay.. so maybe it was quite cold enough for my get-up. But it HAD just started snowing.. and  I knew it was going to get worse. I was preparing just incase the car got stuck anywhere when I dragged Justin to a bridal shop with me to pick bridesmaids dresses.

Or maybe I can be a little over dramatic.

Speaking of over dramatic… this is how my morning started out:

Can you guess what I am doing?!  I am hiding on the toilet.  Not sure if hiding is the right word.  I am kind of just hiding my feet from the bathroom floor.  Why am I hiding my feet from the bathroom floor?  Well.. as I was going to the bathroom, one of my favorite little critters sprinted his way into the bathroom:

Yep. Another ATTACK OF THE THOUSAND LEGGER.  You bet your bottom dollar that I finished peeing, flushed and closed the toilet as quickly as humanly possible and jumped my booty up on the toilet seat.  And then yelled “JUSTIN, HELP ME!”

He came running.. thinking he would find a tragedy. Instead, he found the thousand legger legit guarding me on the toilet.. staring me down.

Rather then helping this damsel in distres immediately, he took his time wandering around the condo looking for the camera so he could capture this lovely picture. THANKS, BABE!!!

——

Did you get snow this weekend?

Are you a little over dramatic like I was with my buddy, thousand legger?

Ewww I HATE those things! Ulysses’ parents have tons of those in their house, thankfully we’ve never had them. After roaches those are the grossest bugs to me.
We have 15 inches, no power, no heat, no internet so we headed to my parents house to steal theirs :)

Oh gross! I would have hopped out of the bathroom to find a shoe and squash that bug!

And my husband would have done the same…got a camera first and exploited my fears!

Wow that sounds like quite the storm! It hasn’t snowed much here in Utah yet, but this next week the temperatures are supposed to drop a lot and there’s a chance of snow. Boo hoo.

That thousand legger bug looks so creepy!! I would’ve reacted the same way!

We got about 3-5 inches in lower Westchester. In my mind it looked like we got about 7 because it was SO strange to see snow with all the leaves still on the trees. SOme of the leaves haven’t even turned color one bit yet…very very odd! I hope it’s not a sign of the winter to come

It is ridiculous. Too early for snow!

I don’t mind bugs, I just don’t want to touch them or have them anywhere near me. My husband takes his sweet time coming to get rid of all the spiders that are in our apartment.

I have a creepy old basement, and I find things like that down there and sometimes they make their way into my bathroom. Why do they like bathrooms so much?!

I can’t believe it’s already snowing in some places – we definitely didn’t have snow.. and if we do get snow.. that would be way worse than you getting snow in October. I’m pretty sure the state would shut down if we got legit snow.

that is hilarious that Justin had to find the camera before he would help you out (that’s a true blogger fiance right there :-) ) That thing is super creepy looking! I freak out depending on what it is.. roach? Yes I freak the heck out..ick
