Dude, Where's My Car?

We took a little vacation this weekend to Tumbler Ridge...click here if you need to know where that is.

We left Thursday night, to get a jump on the 10-12 hour drive. No one likes to spend ALL day travelling. Well, i don't.

When we hit Clinton, it started to snow. It snowed and snowed until just before Quesnel, and then it was really nice, and then i was really tired so we stopped and slept at a rest stop.

We woke up and it was snowing, and we left. We hit Prince George and it was again quite nice. We got to Tumbler Ridge just before 10:30 am on Friday.

Friday afternoon it started to snow. Just a little at first, and then the full on blizzard.

This picture was taken Saturday morning at about 10:30am:


As you can see, we've got about 2 feet of snow in less than 24 hours. It still hasn't stopped, though it was forecasted to stop today. That large white object in the middle of the screen is our car...


Needless to say, we are a little choked. We're not sure what's going to happen. We were supposed to be leaving here Monday, but apparently the Pine Pass is closed, which is pretty much the only way out of here.


On the plus side, Dewie is having a blast! He loves running around chasing snowballs when we're shovelling or biting my dad's boots when he's walking. We throw him in the middle of the yard and he burrows himself out. It's awesome.

So we're supposed to be back monday, to work tuesday...but who knows if that is going to happen. Pray for a heat wave i guess.

The Little Mermaid

Disney's The Little Mermaid has been my favorite movie ever since I was 5 years old. When it first came out, my family did not have a VCR but my best friend at the time did. And they owned the movie!!!! So I would watch it every time I went over there.

Ten years later they brought it out on VHS again because Disney does this with their big movies every ten years or so. Anyhow, my wonderful mother bought the movie for me at the age of 15 because by this time, we were with the times and technology and actually had a VCR. Then a very tragic thing happened. Someone borrowed my movie and NEVER RETURNED IT!!! I was still crushed about this until today....

You may be asking, "What is so special about today?" Well I will tell you. Today...is...the...day...that...

THE LITTLE MERMAID CAME OUT ON DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Alas, I have no money at the moment. But I get paid on thursday. And on thursday I will again own The Little Mermaid.

Ariel, I love you!!!
