101 Things to Do in a Blizzard Part 3 of 4

As the wind is howling out there, find a few things to do in here.

51. Count the snowflakes

52. Sell your kids' shoveling services to the neighborhood. It will teach them good work ethic and pay your electric bill. It's a win, win situation.

53. Create a snowman army in your front yard.

54. Challenge your husband to a card game and beat him out of his next paycheck. You'll never see the money but you'll have bragging rights forever.

55. Try on every article of clothing that you own and actually get rid of what doesn't fit you. (Don't bother with the favorite pair of jeans from high school. Trust me, they don't fit.)

56. Write your X-mas cards for next year. (This way they may actually get out on time.)

57. Dress your dog like a TanTan.

58. Pull out the Ham Radio and search for survivors.

59. Shovel until you look like a zombie. The zombie look is quite fashionable right now. *Note: You risk losing fingers or toes with this one but what the hell you've got ten of them, you could stand to lose a few.

60. Tie those old tennis rackets on your feet and attempt snowshoeing.

61. Make your kids walk to school up hill both ways in the snow. It's how we used to do it and we were glad to have the opportunity to go to school, even when it was closed. (Well that's my story anyway and I'm sticking to it.)

62. Send your husband out in the blizzard to buy diapers and formula. *Disclaimer - He may return. Then you'll have to endure the war stories of how he survived.

63. Build a dirigible. It will be the only way you'll make it into work when your boss doesn't close down the business. And you know he won't because he has a cot, a mini fridge and hotplate there. What's your excuse?

64. Fire up the generator.

65. Break out the life jackets and life boat just in case your house is set adrift and hits an iceberg. What? It could happen.

66. Dig up the record player to play your vinyl collection and tear up the rug. Then play them backwards to see if they have any hidden messages.

67. Experiment with the breadmaker. The instructions should still be with it since you have never used it since you've purchased it.

68. Watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The extended version.

69. Dust off your board games and talk your family into playing them with you. *Tip: Monolpoly has the longest play time.

70. Plaster your arm with temporary tatoos. Hell if you have enough, do both arms.

71. Clip the dog's nails.

72. Catch up on your sleep.

73. Write the great American novel.

74. Search the house for loose change and roll it.

75. Learn a new language. (You might want to start with the one you created.) ;)

Until the next installment.....
