Eat your heart out, 2009!
All lit up!
And a moustache. 
And this just seemed like a good idea.
And the rat seemed to make sense as well. I was looking for a mouse angel ornament in memory or our dearly departed friend. 
Then we had a 10 minute conversation on how dumb the easter bunny is and how creepy the tooth fairy is - seriously, what are adults doing with all those teeth?
It's getting heavy around here.
Caroline: Oh, please, don't start that with me again.
Then Shell told her I still believe in Santa and Caroline laughed at me for hours.
Then they staged a Santa isn't real intervention.
And then we saw the line. SnOMG the line of people waiting to change flights, check in, check bags.
It was bad. Horrible.
Mr. Perfect scouted out the situation while I held our place. He found a line that was about one quarter of the length of the other line, so we happily moved.
But the line didn't move.
Finally, I decided to talk to a US Air rep to confirm we were in the right place. We already checked in, prepaid for our bags, and (at the time) our flight was scheduled on-time.
So I walked up to a frazzled looking rep who was managing the lines. I had a huge smile on my face. I explained our situation and asked if we were in the right place. She confirmed,a apologetically, that we were. I smiled and told her ok, thanks! and turned to walk off. She stopped me, took me to a counter, printed our bag tags, walked with me to where Mr. Perfect was in a line of 100 people, tagged our bags and checked our IDs.
We dropped off our bags and walked to security in complete happy shock. And then it got better. One person was in line for security.
mind = blown
And that children, was the time Erin pulled the biggest airport ninja move ever.
Moral of the story: DBD.
(don't be a dick)
(ummm but then after we got through security we found our flight delayed for 2 hours. BUT we aren't waiting in that stupid line AND ran into 2 good friends!)
I long for the day I find that my kisses begin with K instead of booze.

Our porch is now level with the sidewalk. There are three steps under there somewhere...
Metrorail trains will stop serving above-ground stations at 1 p.m. today, Saturday, December 19, due to heavy snowfall that is covering the electrified third rail, which is situated eight inches above the ground. The third rail must be clear of snow and ice because it is the source of electricity that powers the trains. Metro officials believe that by 1 p.m. the exposed third rail will be covered by snow. All Metrobus and MetroAccess service also will stop at 1 p.m. because roadways are quickly becoming impassable.
But I did capture this.
And yes, that is Mr. Perfect's arm around little Joshie. 
Just flashin' a little Christmas cheer!
The metro ride was uneventful.
However, the walk to the bar wasn't. 
Beer goggles, snow goggles, it's all the same. 
Three metro rides, checking flight status (cancelled) on my phone, some games of pool and shuffleboard and a few rounds later, we were walking home from the metro at 2:30a.m.
There was already about 2-3 inches on the ground.
This morning, I got up around 9 a.m. to see what the story was.
View out of our kitchen window.
I finally ventured out. 
10 inches.
The heaviest snowfall is expected between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Saturday, and
now, just to add a little more danger into the mix, the Capital Weather Gang is
also warning residents to keep an eye out for 'thundersnow.'
That's a real thing, apparently. Where it's snowing and also thundering at the
same time. We can only assume it's then followed by the literal hand of God
reaching down from the sky to punish us for our wicked, wicked ways.

Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium-low heat and add the onion, apples, potato and squash. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the onion is soft, about 8 minutes. Stir in the sage and flour. Add the cider and cook over high heat, stirring, until thickened. Add the broth and milk, cover and bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the potato is soft, 8 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the prosciutto and cook until crisp, turning occasionally, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Add the cheese to the soup and stir over medium-low heat until melted. Puree in a blender in batches until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Garnish with the prosciutto, more cheese and chives, if using. Serve with bread, if desired.
