So, the weather people have been salivating all week over a storm we were going to get hit with Thursday into Friday of this week. "We're getting a foot of snow," they said. Yeah, a little flurry action yesterday around 1 pm and then nothing. I am glad (even though I skipped the shower this morning to be able to leave early since I'm sure the drive will be a little more crowded than usual). I know Marcus was really looking forward to getting dumped on, but I just wasn't in the mood for it. Thank you for tracking to the South, April Snowstorm, it is much appreciated!

I've had it with snow. I don't want to drive in it anymore. I'm tired of weather people making stuff up. Where are you Spring? How cruel that you tempted me with warm temperatures and melting snow just a few days ago and then make me scrape windows and take over an hour to get to and from work today. I'm tired of how stupid it makes other drivers. The snow is still here from mid-December. It's Denver...that is so rare here. I want to get my Christmas lights down. Is that all so wrong?

OK, as promised...there are photos from this morning over in the Holiday Blizzard 2006 gallery. Dave came over and he and Marcus are out traipsing around town to see what's going on. My cramps are yucky today (they always get worse when it gets cold), so I may spend the afternoon on the couch curled up with a heating pad.

Marcus vowed he would make it into work at some point today. Well, the park's plow is stuck outside our house. Marcus is out there now trying to help the guy get unstuck. It doesn't help that the poor plow truck needs some serious work. The fuel mixture is definitely too rich — I can smell it. The thing keeps flooding out. With all the money the park owner has, you think they could get the plow repaired. So help me, if he piles all of that snow up right behind my car, somebody is going to die.

Dang, tomorrow is the last day of November! This month just flew by. Except for today. A 65 minute drive to get 18 miles to work just sucks. Stupid snow. Stupid people who don't know how to drive in snow.

Since I'm freakin' freezing (it's 13°F and quickly dropping) and I feel like doing nothing besides sitting on this couch wrapped up in my quilt, I present links to cool, stupid or interesting stuff I've been meaning to post and just haven't yet:

A Real Simpsons House — don't know why, but it's kind of cool.
Adultitis — how to find out if you suffer from it and how to treat it.

Well, shoot...I had more than that on my brain when I started this post. The dog keeping me awake all night has messed with my brain. I'll add more later as I think of them.
