the mountains win again

Very nice day here in Denver. Almost wished I was back in school today, just so I could stay home from school. That was always the best feeling. I did wish that I had a sled and some friends to go sledding with. I guess I do sort of have a sled; just one that is four-wheel drive! And red! Don't know exactly how much snow we have supposedly gotten at this time. Hmm, maybe I'll go check, it has been a while since I went upstairs...(goes and checks) Ok, still don't know how much snow we have officially gotten so far, but I can tell you this. Holy crap, I am going to have to dig my truck out in the morning. And it is still snowing. But it looks like the wind has stopped, at least for the moment.

Glad I stopped and bought a shovel today.

And I still managed to get six and a half hours of work in today. And I very easily could have ended up with a big zero for hours, which would have been a very bad thing. Granted, all but maybe an hour of that time I was on the road, driving a very slow 160 miles, but I was getting paid. And the brief moments of open, snow-filled roads and a few other fun happenings out on the road made it a rather enjoyable experience.

So thankful that Betty Sue is four-wheel drive!

Now I am just praying that the airport will decide to re-open before tomorrow night, like they announced tonight, so I can fly outta here tomorrow like I was scheduled to. Even if I have to leave later in the day than previously planned. I just want to be able to leave tomorrow.

Cookies are good.

I like naps.

Waking up from naps isn't as fun a the actual nap.

I finished the second book today in the trilogy that I am reading. Very good. It was a little on the short side, which is how I actually managed to read it in just over a week, I think. The last book is a little longer though. Looks like it is as long as the first two books were together. Should be a good one though. Has the whole climactic battle for the world, end of a trilogy thing going for it. Can't wait to get started!

Can you bring snacks on planes?

Have I mentioned that I have great friends?

Found out a few days ago that on the Merriam-Webster web site, you can now listen to the correct pronunciation of words. Pretty cool.

Oops. Got a little sidetracked there. Now that it's getting to be a sorta close to the old midnight hour I guess I better be gettin off to some sleepy time.

mood: a little nervous
music: hours and hours of iTunes randomness
