Back at Last

Today was my first day back at work, and it was a half day at that. No complaints here. Nothing wrong with a day-and-a-half-long work week. No sir-ee.

I have two things to say.

1) DVR rules. I watched all my soaps this evening, commercial free. LOVE IT.

2) Sometimes this kid KILLS me with her cuteness. Just look at that tongue peeking out:

Another Ice Day

I'm at home AGAIN! I can't believe this weather. Here's what it looked like this morning:


I LOVE it. I can see how it would get old after a while, but it hasn't been long enough for me to be sick of it yet. Some parts of the hill country are supposed to get 5 inches of snow by tomorrow! I think we might be off work again tomorrow, too, because it's not supposed to get above freezing until then.

Here's a photo my dad just sent me. The baby is my dad, the woman holding him is his grandma, on the far left is his mom (my grandma) when she was 30, and the oldest woman is his great-grandma! Four generations in one photo! I just love the look on my grandma's face. So sassy:

Ice Day

So we're experiencing our annual ice storm, so I'm at home for the next two days. Yippee! Here's the awesomely cheesy graphic from the news website:


And just for TKW, here's our favorite weatherman doing his thang:

Since I'm kinda stuck here, I'm going to be working on my cross stitch. Here's the one I've finished:

I'm pretty happy with it.

We're still trying to get our stupid flooring put it. We had an appointment with a company to come do an estimate, and they never showed. Asshats. They just lost our business. So right now we still have half carpet half cement in the house. We got a new chair, though, and I love it:

World Market has a 40% coupon on any regularly priced item, even furniture, so I'm going to use it a couple of times before February. That's my FAVORITE place to get furniture other than El Paso Imports. We're ALMOST done getting the living room in order, we just need the damn floors put in.

The really exciting thing that has happened is that my college roommate and good friend from high school found me on myspace! I haven't talked to her in 9 years, and I really missed having her in my life. We had dinner on Friday night and finally had to go home at 12:30, but I feel like we could have kept talking for hours. It was like no time had passed, except that we had many, many years to catch up on. She and her husband are building a house about 10 minutes from me, so we'll be able to hang out pretty often. I can't explain how happy I am.

Other than that, not much is happening!
