We're Off!

Tomorrow Mom and I leave for England! Hope you all have wonderful Easter's, we'll be in London for ours. :-) I'm pumped and cannot wait to go. I love that you totally disconnect and that no one can reach you. You really get a chance to go live in another world for awhile. I'm sure there will be a zillion pictures once we get back. You know you'll want to see them.....

As a side note - I'm worried about future trips, even if just here in the states with the cost of airline tickets going up. Boo....

Anyway, I'll see ya in a little over a week!

Blizzard of '08!

To qualify as a blizzard we have to have winds of 35 mph and 1/4 mile visibility for three hours or more. I'm not sure we'll get that but here are some pictures of what we have so far.... Now I realize there may be some drifting and blowing, but I would say my porch is protected from the wind in some regards.

Update - around 5 on Saturday it finally stopped snowing. Took me an hour to dig my car out Saturday. I would say there is anywhere from 15-20 inches outside. I had to create a path to get to my car because the snow was so deep.

White Death

IS COMING! Again..... Grrrr..... More snow. Who really knows how much but they are acting like it is going to be the end of the world. So, in the event that is it, been nice knowing ya! :-P

Irritating

So today I'm irritated and I just thought I should share. I'm tired of winter, get it over with already. Snow coming in little bits over and over is annoying now. I'm also currently embarrassed to be a voting person in the state of Ohio. For some reason we can't EVER get our acts together to make the voting process easy or accurate. I'm also irritated at the results but won't get into that here. I'm also tired of always being the one in my department at work to know what to do even when I really don't. Why can't others figure it our or make it up? Why do I need to be asked every freaking question even the most basic?

Thank goodness I leave for England on the 20th. Peace out all, disconnecting from the world for a week is gonna be AWESOME!
