Snow Shovels, Chinese Food, Nap Time, & Ms. Pacman

It started yesterday afternoon: a little flurry sprinkling the streets and lawns of Ithaca. A sparkle, if you will, added to a grey day. Sparkle my ass!!! There's like 10 inches of snow on the ground, and it hasn't stopped yet! Okay, maybe it stopped for an hour or two, and it's not snowing as much as it was last night, but I pretty much had my fill after kate and I took the little man outside for about 10 minutes. After that, it's the same white crap I remember running down my back at the abrupt end of a snowball fight 25 years ago. I didn't miss it too much.

But this is Ithaca, and here it freakin' snows. Something about this weather made me want to eat bad Chinese food, and that's what I did this afternoon. Lame sesame chicken with lo mein and veggies at a restaurant that calls itself "The Cajun Cafe." Now I don't know about you, but sesame chicken and lo mein are not usually on the menu with jambalaya and gumbo at most Cajun places I have been to. But hell, I love the free samples of bourbon chicken, so who am I to complain?
Anyhoo, it's the kind of day where you don't really expect to get much done. Like even my stomach is digesting that Chinese food really slowly today! So I am just trying to make it through with Yoni, who just DOES NOT WANT TO NAP!!!!! I'm at that point where I'm like, "Do I let him cry a little longer, or do I finally just give up and go get him?"

Well, maybe I'll play one more game of Ms. Pacman before I go in there.
