In Which My Mom Cheers You Up

So, good news or bad news first?

Bad? Okay, my brave little toaster.

Given the impending Snowpocalypse (AKA #snOMG), it seems that we must postpone tonight’s Happy Hour. I know, I know, don’t cry. Get yourself a bigass bottle of your favorite libation, huddle onto your couch, and watch the hell out of the new episode of Vampire Diaries you taped last night and just can’t WAIT to see.

(No? Just me? YES, it’s on the CW. Don’t judge me.)

And so, the good news! We are hereby setting the HH “Snow Date” for Friday, Feb. 19th. I’ll remind you as it gets closer, of course. But have no fear, ducklings. We shall drink together soon.

And finally, the part in which my mom cheers you up… because she sent me this yesterday and it is HILARIOUS.

Happy snOMG Weekend!!!

And don’t forget…

Walked out the door this morning and the sky sounded like it was getting ready to punch me in the face. We’re going to get our ass kicked by snOMG.

Ok, this is the first time (ok, second) I’ve heard about this happy hour thing? Do you have set dates? Is it a weekly thing? I know, I know, I fuggin slow!

If you have set dates, it would be really, super awesome if you could let me know about them as far in advance as possible, because I have to put in for time off a month in advance (and I work weekends :-( )… so I can’t come to the one on the 19th, and I want to meet you guys, dammit.

I think I love your mom. (Wanna trade?) Made my whole day. Despite the ridiculous snow we’re also getting and the fact that I’m at work. (Stupid job.) So, that’s saying something!

Nothing sadder than a drinking date postponed–although I totally approve of your back-up plan. Sadly, I can’t come on the 19th either. I’ve got my kids on Friday nights (total buzzkill), plus you’re, like, a 15-hour drive away. The post-partying drive home would be a bitch. But still…I’ll be there in spirit(s).

February 19…there’s something very familiar about that day. Like, it has some great historical significance. Something important happened that day. What was it…?

OH yeah. I was born.

31 BlackLOG February 5, 2010 at 12:01 pm

Not 100% convinced by the Vampire Diaries. 2 episodes in and some of the acting is more wooden than than a stake. True Blood
grabbed me from episode one, although Sookie acting could have made a convincing forest at times…

I totally would have made the hike up to DuPont for HH, alas I am now stuck in BFE Maryland. Of course, the Snow-pocolypse didn’t stop my mother from asking (aka expecting, as she gave birth to me and I have yet to repay that debt) me to head to Starbucks this morning 20 minutes away in the nearest town because she had the java-shakes.

I know some guys who would totally go au natural just for that free beer (s)

So, who’s your favorite so far? Stefan or Damon?
