=snow=

We've had the most snow we've had in years this past week, it's crazy. Unfortunately, I've had to work during all of it. Now that it's the weekend, the roads are a good 2 inch sheet of ice and the snow is turning cruchy and not fun to play in at all. Hailey and I have not had the chance to play and I'm really bummed about it. My work never closes for anything. They usually send us home early, but not this time. No, we practically have a blizzard and we are stuck driving on the sheets of ice, putting our lives in danger just to help people get their money. :o) I'm a bit bitter...can you tell? Lol. Well, last night, I bundled Hailey up and we went out anyways. Off to the side of our apartment building. Lol. What an adventure! **note the sarcasm** It was fun though. She really enjoyed it. I'm really hoping to have more snow this weekend so Hailey, Michael and I have a chance to actually enjoy it. As of now, we are supposed to get another 4-6 inches of new snow this weekend...along with a nice windy, snow, ice storm with power outages and the works! Yay! I'll be stocking up tomorrow, pulling out all my candles, possibly buying new ones, getting my lighter ready and a few more pieces of wood for the fire place. Maybe even pick up some marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate for some smores. Is it lame to make smores in your home fire place? Lol...hmm..


Anyways, here are some pictures from last night. What a cutie!
Our beautiful Christmas tree...

=snowflakes=

While working a tedious and long report at work today, I found this fun website where you can cut your own paper snowflake online. Thought I would share! Have fun!

=3 glasses of wine=

Once again, I'm up too late. I've had three glasses of wine, by myself as usual, and am feeling pretty good. :o) I'm just about relaxed and ready for bed. Just got done watching Friends and Sex and the City. Nothing better than a night filled with a few glasses of wine, Friends followed by Sex and the City. Actually, I correct myself...it would be even better if Michael were home with me. His schedule has become pretty insane again. Working crazy hours...and Saturdays. Stupid peek season! Everyone needs to stop sending boxes...just stop okay? Stop with the presents, care packages, everything. I want my hubby home. Stupid giving season and nice people. Psh. So selfish. :o) But really, I miss him and the thing that sucks is that January he starts driving again for Blue Rhino. So, he'll be working two jobs with crazy hours and Saturdays. Our Saturdays together were short lived and definitely taken for granted. At least we had some FULL weekends together and some fun times. Until next October-November.

I would have posted pictures by now, but I left my camera in my sisters car after the wedding. Soon, very soon.

Speaking of the wedding, it went great. It was definitely more laid back than most given that I knew most of the people there. I even danced a song. "Forever" by Chris Brown....LOVE IT! I'll post pictures when I get my camera.

Okay...I'm feeling a little too warm now and starting to get really tired. The wine is hitting me. I'm off to bed. I'll post later. Sorry it's not too exciting...welcome to my life.

=too tired=

It's been a while since I've posted. Sorry, but I just haven't been in the mood lately. We had great Thanksgivings, all three of them, and are now ready and totally stoked for Christmas. We love it! Our favorite time of the year! We got our Christmas tree, pictures coming soon, on Sunday the 30th and it's up and decorated with presents wrapped underneath. Christmas music plays daily in our apartment, and here at my desk. We just can't get enough of it.

We have a wedding tomorrow, one of my fellow TwinStar CU employees. Tonight is the rehearsal and I'm just not in the mood. I'm not feeling very social today. I would much rather go home, get comfy and watch a movie tonight. Oh well. Then it's off to the wedding tomorrow....all day...in Centralia. Ugh. I'm just too tired right now to think about it.
