Ugh...more snow

prosodicIt snowed all day. And the roads are even worse than they were yesterday. They seem worse than they were on Monday. And I have to be at work tomorrow. I think Lance will have to take me. I'm tired of all that rough ice scraping up the underside of my car. I can't imagine the damage I have to my car now. I already have to have my brakes looked at because they've started to make a hideously loud squealing noise.
So to anyone who doesn't have a white Christmas and wants one...feel free to take some of ours. Please.
Anyway, other than that, our day was pretty good. We hung out at home until about 1:00 or so, then we went over to Rich and Kathy's. We spent several hours there. Had dinner, played some Wii. I had never played it before, and I played Super Smash Brothers Brawl with Lance and totally beat the snot out of him, much to the amusement of Kathy and Rich. That was fun.
We exchanged gifts. I got a Cocoa-Latte maker, which I'm so excited about. I can finally make good chai lattes here at home! And cafe lattes, so I can cut back on my trips to Starbucks. Woohoo! So anxious to try that out...perhaps this weekend.
Anyway, my haul so far (as more gifts are forthcoming):
- The Tudors, season 1
- a long-sleeve turquoise henley top with a turquoise vest
- striped hat/glove/scarf set (which matches the turquoise tops)
- a crank-powered flashlight to keep in my car
- Home Depot gift card
- money
- a lawn ornament
- Cocoa-Latte maker
- webcam
- Target gift card
Kathy and I had a heart to heart chat about some things that have been troubling me lately. I cried a lot. But it was good. I feel cleansed. I've had these tears inside me for awhile...they just needed a release. After we got home and I got in the shower, I cried some more. I feel a lot better. And it's so nice to know that we have a couple of friends here who got our backs...and they're trying to help me work through some things that I've been struggling with. It really helps me feel like my life here has some meaning after all.
I should probably start thinking about bed here shortly. I'm tired. Emotionally and physically drained. I just need to get through tomorrow and then I have the weekend. It doesn't feel like a Thursday. It feels earlier in the week than that, but maybe that's because I've already missed so much work this week due to the weather.
