The sun will come out, tomorrow!

actually, it came out today! YAY!

Besides the fact that the temperature outside is -20 (windchill) things are going a little better here. Sun has decided to peek out a little bit today and the snow, for now, has stopped. But, it is expected to come back tonight and dump, even more, lake effect snow on top of us. I am sure that with tonight's snow it will put us well over 2 feet of snow. YUCK! But, on the bright side... I have learned how to effectively dress in layers, bundle up and drive in absolutely horrible road conditions. (I'm trying to see a silver lining to all this weather madness, can you tell?)

On to other matters... my poor baby kitty Jada went to the vet this week for a a dental cleaning and they ended up having to pull two of her teeth. She is only 3 1/2 so I was really surprised. The vet said some cats are just more prone to dental issues, so we will have to keep an eye on her teeth from now on. And, get this, they gave me her two extracted teeth in a little jar. HAHA. I asked Jared if we should have the tooth fairy bring her some treats! :)

She is doing really well and back to her normal self, but that first day back she looked like a wreck from the anaesthesia. Poor baby. Right now she is laying on Jared sleeping. For a guy who "claims" he doesn't like cats, he sure does feed her, play with her and let her lay on him a lot. :) Oh Jared, just admit that you love her. :)

Anyways, I better do some actual work since I was supposed to be "working from home today". I was really motivated this morning and early afternoon, but now I am drained. Catch you all on the flip side... stay warm!

I don't wanna hear it

Just in case any of you all in Kansas or Oklahoma decide to complain about snow this winter. Just remember this....

Ugh....

I'm in Washington D.C. for work and it sucks. This city is pretty cool, but once you have been here and seen everything, that is pretty much it. And when you have to go at least once or twice a year for MANDATORY training, it begins to feel more like a chore than a nice trip to D.C.

I am extra cranky too because Jared just returned home from Louisiana on Saturday and I left for D.C. on Sunday. :( I am anxious to get home on Thursday and watch some OU Football with my hubby :)

On another random note... anyone ever have to sprint through an airport to make a connecting flight? We did it in Detroit and, seriously, my shins are killing me and my shoulder where I was carrying my laptop bag is soooo sore that I can barely move it. People were probably looking at us like freaks when we got on the plane.... we were all sweaty, breathing hard...couldn't be from the lack of exercise could it? :) I was glad we made it, but it took me a while to calm down and stop sweating. Gross. And, any of you who have been through Detroit... what is with the psychedelic light tunnel from Concourse C to A. I felt like I was in the middle of a hippies gathering in the 1960s and I needed to slip some LSD and "feel the music" and "look at flowers". It was freakin nuts. There was also some crazy techno music which made me feel like I needed to drop some E and love everyone. (I've been in drug prevention training all day so pardon my excessive drug references). :) It is insane and have no idea what it accomplishes besides freaking people out.

Two more days of training... UGH!
