A couple quick notes:
Watch cocky "I can drive in the snow / tackle this slush pile" drivers who are still going too fast for the width of the roads.
Also, everyone in the world is out! I was still able to choose from a wide array of school valentines at Target, which means NO ONE has been out until now.
People are acting odd - like they haven't seen other humans in a long time. Some guy in an SUV tried to make "eye contact" with me a la "how you doin'?" Either he has not seen anyone in a looooong time OR he actually likes 30 something-ish women with bad hair and a sallow, haven't slept in days or seen sun in weeks death pallor.
Enjoy the typical of Pittsburgh "chair to mark parking spot" behavior. Today, I saw lawn chairs, TV trays, picnic tables, a really nice dining room chair, and a piece of a couch - all marking freshly shoveled parking spots as I drove through the residential area of the city (where we live). And.. this is funny because a friend of mine just posted a note on her Facebook page saying that she had used a chair to mark a spot in her Ohio neighborhood, noting the "so Pittsburgh" behavior. Sometimes it's a stereotype because it is TRUE.
Stay safe - have fun!

About Me
- Sherri
- I am home with four kids - two girls, two boys - ages 14, 6, 5 and 3 (and when I started this blog, just a little over two years ago, I had an infant, a 2yr old, 3yr old and 12yr old - feels like a lifetime ago, but it wasn't ;-). Until about four or five years ago, I worked in marketing. I have been and done many things - dancer, magazine "multi-tasker", advertising copywriter, gymnastics coach, resort town waitress, grad student, etc. Now my areas of expertise are different and diverse. I am savvy, efficient, patient and earthy (like it or not). I am a better cook, an Ok herb gardener, an impressive artist to my kids, an active and prolific photographer, a childrens' clothing stylist (in my head), a manager of all things "household" and a news enthusiast (from politics to celebrity). I am more cynical though less of a worrier / hypochondriac than I used to be. I am increasingly proud of what I do with kids, family and home, but I do still present myself as a "freelance writer".

For the record, our spots are reserved once again after our most recent snowfall. Patrick and I both spent time out there yesterday clearing two spots. And the kid who parked in front of our house - has OFF STREET parking behind his apartment. So why he parked at our house, we will never know. Ohio State closed yesterday because of the snow...
It is still difficult to park and / or operate moving vehicles here in Pitt.... The parking situation is CRAZY! I've practically seen entire living room suites down the length of one street - chairs, tables, etc. - all to mark these highly coveted spots...
