6:00am – Wake up and see it’s raining outside. Sigh…lay in bed a few more minutes. I feel like Indiana Jones when he looks down into the Well of the Souls and sees all the snakes. “Rain…why did it have to be rain?” (for the the zillionth day in a row!) (and yes..I do actually say that to myself in that voice in my head as I remember the scene in the movie – kookie!)
6:15am – Get up, feed huskies, get dressed in rain gear, leash the boys up and go…
6:30am – Stops raining!!! Praise Bejebus! Super fun time on beach with the huskies and their friend Yogi! And I’m 100% convinced that I benefit from the walk just as much as they do. Yesterday the rain and wind was so bad, we didn’t make it 10 minutes before going back home. And I was grumpy all day!
8:15am – Home, shower, get ready for work. As I am about to leave, husband says only time to beat storms is leave by noon. Otherwise no go until Sunday. Sigh. Pack for Tahoe. Need to call boss on way to vet.
9:30am – Take Stormy to his ultrasound appointment. Stress the whole drive in and curse at the stoopid Prius and truck drivers.
10:00am – Storm’s appt. Stress in waiting room. ALL CLEAR!!! YAY!!!! Doc says how great he looks :) Why a guy. Nurses give him cookies. He is loved :)
11:00am – Post office and then home and pack up car.
11:30am – Drive…rain….rain…….80 still closed, go to 50…drive……hail….drive…overturned vehicle….drive….accident…..drive….(at least not as hellacious as last week)
4:50pm – Get to Incline Village – SUSHI! Take huskies out first and walk them a bit.
5:20pm – YUM! EAT! First meal of the day!!!! See guy walk in for dinner and comment “he looks like an 80s hair band guy” Oh..he is. Guy from Whitesnake. Hysterical!
8:00pm – Get home. Drive down snowcave of a street and driveway. Let huskies out of car and run around. Tromp through waist (yes, waist) deep snow into house to disarm and unlock. Good thing I’m not some dumb, high-maintenance girl. Feed huskies dinner. Give them a lot of extra chicken for being such good passengers :)
8:02 (or…maybe 8:03pm) Husky dinner inhaled. Take huskies back out (this time in snow gear).
Seeing huskies so happy to be in snow – a good use of a day off after all :) Excited to see what snow adventures we will have this weekend!
The weather forecast this morning said big storm tonight and Saturday but cleared out Sunday and basically clear for the rest of the week. Now it says snow tonight through Monday. Huskies say don’t mess their snow making super wonder twin powers :)

Ha! David Coverdale?!? Guy single-handedly ruined Tawny Kitaen’s career or was that Steven Segal? Whatever – dude had way too much plastic surgery and an ego to match. That band may have bought enough hair product to keep ‘stiff stuff’ in business in the ’80s :)

Ohmygosh – it was hysterical. As soon as he walked in I said “that guy HAS to be a former 80s rock band guy…at least a cover band.” He was so still in that character! Long blonde hair, super tan, tight jeans and with a girl that looked basically like him but younger! And he is releasing a new CD. He seemed pleasant enough but I only said hi. Pretty darn funny.
Umm…did Tawny Kitean HAVE a career to ruin besides writhing all over a car? ;)
