good work, snowstorm. i always knew i could count on you.

before i say anything else, let's just take a moment to appreciate this:

hmm, so the many (mis)adventures of r-wa & s-la can be read here, accompanied by pictures, s-la's commentary, and happy christmas music. and since this is clearly going to be the first blog of many this weekend, i won't bother to give my own version of events, except to elaborate on the two things she skipped.

the first is, of course, the MongolEyes. at first i thought i'd suddenly developed an allergy to cats which, as you all know, would've been disastrous, given my kitty-owning, lol-cat-making aspirations. however, further reflection revealed that that was highly unlikely since i've never been allergic to her cats before and if i was allergic to them than i wouldn't stil have giant, puffy, mongol-approved red eyes right now.

oh, and in case you're wondering, the Mongol reference comes from this movie. i couldn't find the clip online because people just don't appreciate baby genghis khan the way s and i do, but when little genghis/temudjin is picking out his wife, his father advises him not to get one with really big eyes since that's how the demons could fly into her mind.

needless to say, the demons won't be flying into my head anytime soon. i'd post pictures but even my mother won't stop laughing about them (she wants to make a snowman with 0_o face to commemorate my current 0_o face!). also, unlike paris hilton and sarah palin, i know better than to let unfortunate pictures or videos of mine get published. what if i miraculously end up famous and then my mongol face comes up and that's the one picture newscasters use to refer to me? like that one really awful picture of sarah palin that jon stewart always brings up whenever he talks about her? nuh uh. but just so you get an idea of the true horror of the situation, here, have a picture of my current MongolEye-treating tools:

from left to right: my buddies the costco roll of oreos, pills from dr. cray-cray, pills from new dr, callie the bottle of calamine lotion, & miss. bumble the purple hairspray bottle

anyway, onto the second thing s-la forgot: prezzies! well, just mine, since she's not getting hers until tuesday (along with her socks, sweatpants, Notey, mix cd, and thank you card...have i mentioned that s-la is the greatest?). they're purple! and scarfy! and hatty! and glovey! and altogether worthy of exclamation points! sadly, they won't be pictured since they're now drying from their first excursion into the snow (it's so deep now - at least we know it won't melt before christmas).

what am i listening to right now? shake, rattle, & roll by elvis.

that's all for now, since it's time to re-icepack my poor MongolEyes before they decide to start swelling again. but before i go, let's all take a moment to bask in this for a moment:

oh, loudoun county public schools, i take back every bad thought and whiny blog i've ever had about you. we have a two week winter break after all!
