snow fail

This is what I expected my town would look like when I woke up this morning.

For two days they have been forecasting the "BIG SNOW" We were going to be getting 5 inches. Everyone rushed out and stocked up on groceries and purchased snow shovels 

and sleds

Kids everywhere were excited. Then they changed the forecast to 2 -4". Well that 's okay. Still enough snow to build a decent snowman.

okay maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration. Then this morning they downgraded it once again to 2" or less. Well, at least they got the less part right, because there is zero snow. So, why am I complaining you may ask? Well, I thought maybe I would be snowed in and could lounge around in my jammies, drinking hot cocoa by the fire while reading a good book. 


So instead I decided to make a trip to Goodwill on a thrifting adventure. I threw my coat on over my jammies (thank goodness there weren't any fashion police around) donned my wonderful snow boots (just in case) and headed out.


I was so excited to show you what I found, and here it is.








Wait a minute. What's that big blank space you ask? Well I am sure you remember the old nursery rhyme:


Old Mother Hubbard went to her cupboard to get her poor dog a bone. But when she got there, the cupboard was bare, and so her poor dog had none.


I felt just like that poor dog. I have never seen such bare shelves as there were in that store. Where were all the goodies? Where are all those wonderful things I've been seeing other people find lately.?
I'm just glad I still had my jammies on, because now I can close the curtains, heat up some cocoa, and sit by the fire while pretending it's snowing (right after I email our local weatherman)
