Hi friends! I actually made it to work today thanks to Eric's outstanding parents! :) His dad drove his mom, Eric, and me to work (we all work downtown). WOOHOO! So good to get out of the casa...and to get to my actual office.
That said, I'm one of the last people here b/c apparently the two inches predicted for today has now turned into six. (It's already snowing quite hard). As soon as that message started being broadcast and the snow started falling, all I could hear were coat zippers zipping and papers being gathered as people abandoned ship.
We're hanging for a little bit longer, so cross your fingers that we don't have issues getting home. This snow is ridiculous. Another girl and I keep instant messaging to make sure the other is still here. It's very quiet now...
Anyway, had to post a couple things for ya...
Eric sent me this and I laughed out loud... (You might have to double click it to read. Couldn't fit the whole thing large enough)
And this is a screenshot of our newspaper from Wednesday. The picture of the one man walking downtown is so "day after tomorrow." Insane! And this is the FIRST issue in our paper's history that was unable to be delivered in print. This paper has been around for 106 years and this is the FIRST time they couldn't print. Incredible.
I actually shoveled my entire drive yesterday! (I was/am very proud of myself). (I have photos!). As people started leaving, so did a lot of my motivation, but I'm trucking through with tasks b/c with more snow expected Sunday and next Wednesday, this might be my last day in the office for awhile... Will play catch up on your bloggidies when I'm warm and cozy (with a glass of wine) lata tonight!
With all this snow coming in again, I'm saying prayers for the home-bound and elderly, the homeless, the homeless animals out there and anyone without the services they need to stay safe, fed, and warm... This snow HAS to subside soon... I know it's not just affecting my area, so spreading the prayers and thoughts throughout the midwest... :)
Stay safe, friends! :)

I was just thinking today that we might be able to get out of our addition, but then it started snowing again...ugh! I love the cartoon! VERY true!!
I'm in southern California this weekend so it's especially funny to think about all that crazy snow! Glad you got out of the house (I'd go crazy too if I had to be inside for days at a time) and hope this weekend is fun, despite the weather!
stay warm this weekend and be safe! hopefully you can at least make it to the mexican restaurant :)
Way to go shoveling your driveway! That takes a lot of patients and will power to stay out in the cold so long. I would be going crazy too if I were snowed in for more than 2 days. Glad you are safe:)
This made me laugh. I love time off, but after a while, being trapped in your house gets old.
What a crazy picture! It looks like he is the only person left alive haha!
Hahahahaha I loved that cartoon!
Hope you made it home safe!!! That cartoon is hilarious!
Stay warm! salsa helps.
xoxo
I wish we got some snow...shoveling is one of my favorite workouts ( you know, for the first five feet:) Happy Weekend!! Hope you got home safe
Crazy to hear about the weather in T-town.... can't even imagine. Hope you're being careful! xo
Girlie I am so glad you made it safely, but holy cow seems like a good excuse to stay warm in the casa. Me.oh.my.!!!
I left work early Friday too. It was snowing again and my heater people were coming to fix an issue I was having so I just went home and enjoyed the snow from my couch.
I thought we were supposed to have snow again today, but nothing so far...guess I'll be working more this week!
I'm so impressed you shoveled your whole driveway! I just made a path large enough for my car to fit through-lol!
Oh my goodness what crazy weather! Glad you are staying warm and safe!
