where is my snow?

so i got a message from my sis this morning that they got snow in bellvue, and another message that it was dumping at 1:30.... and i want to know where is my snow?

like a true oregonian dork, i ran out this morning to make sure i was well stocked, just in case we got some snow, becuase God forbid we drive in even a dusting of the white stuff... and as of 2:30 i have only seen a couple of lonely flakes... so sad..

on another note, i have been going coffee crazy lately... maybe it is the cold i have hung onto, or the fact the boys have spent the majority of the month sick and cranky...but i decided my shop runs need to be curbed... but i am in love with a 1 pump peppermint soy latte... if you get this at the green giant it is okay, still a little sweet since they use vanilla soy milk, but if you get it almost anywhere else that uses plain soy milk, it is heavenly, a very earthy coffee drink... which i love it when you can actually taste the coffee, not all the sweet crap they add to it... b likes his drinks sweet and thinks my soy latte's taste like dirt... i choose the word earthy as a better description....

so today at the store i was in search of peppermint syrup to add to my french pressed coffee... i could'nt find any at freddys (those jerks) so i had a brilliant idea to buy peppermint oil and just add a bit to my coffee... this was okay... but it was OIL.... so it just floated on the top of my coffee.. did clear my sinuses, but did not compare to my yummy soy latte's...

i am super annoyed with my sewing machine, which is why i am blogging... the darn thing is acting like a jack*ss... the tension is being weird, and the needles keep breaking... i just broke my last one i could find... i just bought a pack but can't seem to find it... figures i just cleaned my sewing room... i can't find anything now... i have an order of shirts to get done... crap... and the boys are down for a nap.... so i am stuck until the little buggers wake up...
i guess i could start dyeing some shirts, i am trying out some new colors for spring... i got a burnt orange, avocado, and cobalt blue.... i am stoked to see the avocado, i love green stuff...

speaking of green stuff... I LOVE BRUSSEL SPROUTS.... i did'nt realize how much i loved them till recently.... i swear growing up my mom must have boiled them or something, i remember them being mushy... but if you trim them, cut them in half, spread them on a cookie sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sea salt and garlic... broil at 400 degrees until tender.... yummy...

my sis just called she has 3 inches of snow, so not fair..... but she was good luck while on the phone i found my sewing needles.... so off to fix the freakin tension on the jack*ss of a sewing machine, glad i bought the extended warranty, i might just have to run to the repair shop....
