Birthday Blizzard Of "07

I gave up. I got up early, got dressed, did my hair, put on make-up and the whole nine yards. But as I was standing out there in ankle deep snow being pelted with flakes the size of quarters trying to dig my car out I realized .... "What the HELL am I doing? It's my freakin' birthday for chrissakes! Is there really anything that is so pressing at work today that can't wait until tomorrow?!" Of course, the answer was no. I was hoarding all of my vacation days on the very slight chance I might actually go to China this year so I tried to suck it up and go. But in the end, the blizzard won.

See the evidence of my valiant effort in my little snow tracks. I have no idea how much we have on the ground right now but I'd say it's quite a bit. It really was up to my ankles and see those little bumps off to the left. Those are my decorative lights. Well, they're buried under there. So today I'm snowed in. Hmmm... what am I gonna do all day? Maybe I'll work on the painting project in my bedroom. But I definitely see the possibility of a nap in my future.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. They are very much appreciated. I don't actually turn 35 until 11:51pm. My mom tells the funny story of how the doctor kept telling her to hang on a few more minutes so she'd have a valentine baby. Her response to him was something like "GET THIS THING OUTTA ME NOOOOOW!!!" Oh and I was already a couple of weeks overdue. So my running late issues started in utero. LOL! Happy snow day everybody!
