Ice Storm

OK - seriously. It was 79 degrees less than a week ago. I was wearing shorts, for goodness sake! And NOW we have seven inches ICE on the ground! Our driveway is totally hopeless. John and I were out there for about an hour and a half this morning and managed to get the cars cleared and the 3-foot entrance shoveled so we could open the side door. As for the rest of the driveway... well, it's supposed to be in the sixties come Friday - so it will have to melt then!

I didn't take any pictures. I couldn't possibly scrapbook this event without using bad language!

One good thing about this storm - I invented a new drink and I call it the "Ice Storm" (it involved mixing together whatever I could find in the liquor cabinet - and it was actually REALLY delicious!)

Here's the recipe:

1 shot of Absolut Citron
1 shot of Creme de Cacao
1 shot of Triple Sec
and a teensy splash of vanilla

Shake it up with ice and strain it into a martini glass (cause everything tastes better out of a martini glass!)

I thought the vanilla and citrus together would be nasty, but they really compliment each other!

It's 3:30 in the afternoon right now. I wonder if it's too early to start drinking...
