Snow snow, lots of snow ….
Yeah. Yesterday we were sent home from work at 12. This morning I checked my voicemail at work and there was a message that said “Good morning everyone, um work is cancelled today.” That is seriously what it said. But I checked my voicemail before I went to bed last night and there was a message that said that we were having a 10:00am start. And when I woke up this morning there were no new messages, so I showered and got all ready ….. drank two cups of coffee, and was on my way out the door when I decided to check one last time, because seriously ….. my street is a big block of ice covered in snow, and there are people outside with sharp objects breaking up the ice and shoveling out parking spaces! I was kind of mad that the message was not left on my voicemail until 8:30am which is cutting it really close to leaving time in this weather. I decided I needed 1.5 hours to get to work so I was leaving at 8:30. So anyways, now I am up and coffee’d up, ready to go and I have nothing to do. Well I do have things to do, like wash dishes, clean, do my taxes, do some laundry, and get ready for Valentines Day … if there is a Valentines Day.
Being snowed in is kind of fun sometimes, but not when it is on Valentines Day! For one, I feel bad for Bryan because the place he works is evil and is stressing him out a lot, and the last thing he needs is to get out of work and worry about getting somewhere for Valentine’s day on crappy roads that are dangerous, with a lot of people out there that seriously can’t drive. Tonight we have reservations at Mantini’s Woodfired (thanks to Julie for suggesting!), but if the road conditions do not improve I don’t think we will be going because safety is the most important thing. I’ve never had a boyfriend who was so sweet and romantic, and got really excited about Valentine’s Day. Bryan and I have been planning this night and looking forward to it for weeks, but it isn’t the day that matters. And honestly, with him, I don’t need a day to feel special and loved, because he shows me that every day.
Things are very good, and I think we have many more Valentines Day’s to come. And if we get snowed in again next year, we may possibly be snowed in together under the same roof so it won’t matter anymore.
In kitten news, I’ve been letting Peppsi out of my room – it has been a month since he came to live with us, and Boo still hates him. I don’t blame her though, he’s a terror (as Bryan puts it). When I let him out he tries to attack her. Yesterday he pounced on her back, like he jumped on top of her like he was hugging her and started pawing and biting. He’s not being mean or hissing, he just wants to play with her. But she hisses and screams and flips out. He’s three months old now, and I know he just desperately wants a friend. He’s a really friendly little guy, but he has too much energy. He sleeps with me all night curled up beside me. I got out of bed this morning and actually rolled onto him because he is so small and it is hard to see him in the dark. He’s still pouncing on my face when I’m laying in bed which definitely has to stop because scratch marks on my face is not attractive!
Anyways, that’s all. I am supposed to be doing work from home, but I think I’m going to do my taxes 😉
Happy Valentines Day everyone!
