When It's Cold Inside

Once again, less than a year later, we have no heat and are forced to spend the weekend with grandparents-- but this year this is only because the furnace broke and cannot be fixed until Monday, rather than us completely losing power while a blizzard makes the roads impassible and all. Jason is in fact still at home weathering it out with space heaters when he isn't at work, and the kids and I are with MY parents, which is a bit of a good time. We played in the snow today, and had hot cocoa, and played some video games (Sam discovered the joy of running Paper Mario into the water to his death by piranha over and over again, until he broke Dan's controller, which is luckily still under warranty), and I believe there may be pizza involved later.

I'm looking at my userpic and realizing a) that I need to change the default back away from ChristmasBabyAmy, although I'll choose it anyway for this entry since it's wintery; and b) that I should probably change it to something a little newer than Maddie 20 months ago, but that is the most obviously default of my userpics (because she's saying hi) and I don't feel like making a new one. Oh well, I can keep going with this until Russian Epiphany. I'm not entirely sure Epiphany is even celebrated according to the Orthodox calendar, but I always found a way to make Christmas keep going until Russian Epiphany as a kid anyway.
