We went to the snow, it was cold


For someone who complains about being cold often, I sure enjoyed this weekend's trip to the snowy regions. Some pictures are up on my flickr, but if you can't be bothered with that, here are some of my favorites:


Like I said, it was down right arctic outside, so we bundled up.


Heylove didn't love the snow at first. I think she really hated it because it was too cold for her and she pretty much sunk in up to her belly every where she stepped.


She ended up liking it okay, but it took a while.


I found all kinds of critter tracks in the morning. Here's a racoon print. I also saw tracks from a rabbit and a werewolf.


We kept busy inside with this puzzle.


But also spent an afternoon out, in downtown Truckee.


And drove around on icy roads like this. I was super nervous in the back seat of Leon's metrosexual VW while SUVs and trucks zoomed by us.


Check out the Yeti I spotted at the lake.


We were thrilled to get out of town. Can't you tell?

Last night


Last night, I stopped off at the bookstore for the new issue of Leon's favorite magazine, Bust. There was a pretty blonde lady ahead of me in line. As she left, the guy behind the counter says "that lady was returning a book called 'how to make anyone fall in love with you."
"Oh, I guess it didn't work. Isn't that sad?" I asked.
"It is sad. But I don't know about 'anyone.' I would be much more specific" my new favorite clerk replied.

Thawed

Back from the chilly, chilly snow. I didn't have time to upload pictures (nothing too exciting), I forgot my lunch and I forgot to bring water to the office. I'm off to a great start today. The good news is that I talked to the body shop on Friday about my whips. The shop guy thinks that my car will be ready soon. He says, "I feel really good about Tuesday." Hopefully that means that it'll be ready by Thursday for sure. These guys! Stop messing my heart around, okay? My estimate says 10-14 days, not 4 weeks! On top of this torture, I have to pay them when it's all done.

Not thinking about food


I forgot my lunch today. I also forgot to try to co-ordinate with someone else who could pick up a bite for me on their way out. Now the office is dead, everyone either brought food or is out eating food. I really effed up! Wah, wah, wah! So now I'm having preztels and drinking a Sprite I found in the fridge. At least I have that. Leon promised to rescue me around 4 or 4:30. Until then I will try not to think about food. Real, yummy, warm, sustaining food.


Like burritos.

grilled cheese

or

portobella wellington

or

Jimboy's

or

I can't wait until I get my car back on Tuesday! Then I can drive my own self around.
