Super Bowl Commercials, Snowmageddon Round 2 & Cabin Fever

This post is just a bunch of ran­dom thoughts that will all be streamed together because that is the way my brain feels lately.

Ran­dom Thought #1

Let’s start with the Super Bowl com­mer­cials. Which one was your favorite? I loved the Google com­mer­cial and I think the rea­son it was my favorite was because it was so sim­ple, yet said so much. No fancy effects, no pant­less peo­ple, no jokes, no silly char­ac­ters, just a very sim­ple, yet quite effec­tive com­mer­cial. If you missed it, here it is:

What do you think? Was it effective?

Ran­dom Thought #2

If you fol­lowed my Snow­maged­don Day 1 and Day 2 posts, then you know we got 3 ft of snow over the week­end. In an aver­age year, we get 22 inches. We got 36 inches in 2 days. That is a LOT for our area (well prob­a­bly for any area). And if that wasn’t enough snow for us, today is Snow­maged­don part 2. We are sup­posed to get at least another foot of snow. YES, I said that cor­rectly ONE FOOT of snow on top of the THREE FEET we have. My kids are out of school for the rest of the week (offi­cially per the county, not my guess­ing). I will do another post of Snow­maged­don part 2. Watch my video of the pro­gres­sion of Part 1.  Wednes­day is sup­posed to then get really really windy (40+ mph) and we’ll have the 4 ft of snow on the ground swirling around. We didn’t lose power with round 1 and I’m just hop­ing we don’t lose it dur­ing part 2.

Ran­dom Thought #3

Cabin Fever. Ever have it? How do you deal with it? I didn’t real­ize I had it until I went out of the house. When my hubby got home from Ger­many. (Side story: Jason was stuck in Ger­many dur­ing part 1 of our snow­maged­don. He flew from Ams­ter­dam to Frank­furt and then all the flights from Europe to DC were can­celed. He spent 2 nights in a hotel by the air­port in Frank­furt wait­ing to get home. He finally got home on Sun­day night. Dulles was let­ting inter­na­tional flights land.) So, any­ways, he told me he was tak­ing me and the kids OUT on Mon­day to any­where. I didn’t want to go, but he made me. I’m so glad I did. The roads were hor­ri­ble, but I really needed it. We just went to Tar­get, Wal-Mart, mall and the gro­cery store, but see­ing some­thing other than my home was nice.

Now we will be stuck in the house again for at least 2 days, if not more. Jason will be here too so that will def­i­nitely help. There will be 2 adults to 4 kids, so they can whine to him too. I’m just run­ning out of ideas on what to do.

What do you do when you get stuck in your house for days?
