I have been super swamped at work for the past two days because I missed one stinking day from being snowed in. I am not kidding when I say we could not get out of the front door of my parents house the day after Christmas. It was insane. The snow drift that runs alongside the house was easily twelve feet high. Completely massive. The wind was crazy too which made the conditions of the roads even worse. The snow drifted between the houses, into the bed of my Dad's truck, and into the street. My Dad's truck was completely burried. There was a snow plow, a tractor, and about four trucks that were stuck on the very top flat part of the mountain. This is a large part why we couldn't get home. Being snowed in makes me feel all anxious and panicky. I do not love it! The pictures I took don't look as bad as I am saying, but I swear they are.
I have decided that I am going to keep my Mustang, and buy something with either four-wheel or all-wheel drive. I haven't moved the Mustang in weeks because of the snow and it really bugs me that I keep driving my sister's car all over. Blah. My Dad agrees with me so I am hoping that he will help me get a different vehicle. I am crossing my fingers.
I made Christmas cards. I promise I did. I forgot to take them to the post office and I didn't buy stamps so Mike couldn't mail them for me either. So, I have a small stack of cards that are sitting on the kitchen table looking rather pathetic and lonely. I am so lame sometimes.
Christmas was really good though. I love seeing my family, and Mexican food on Christmas Eve is my favorite tradition of all time. It was good to see my Grandfather, who is looking really tough these days, and my Aunt who is basically on her death bed. Sad to say, but completely true. I would be surprised if she makes it to February. We actually thought she was going to die a few months ago so it is a complete miracle that she has made it this long. Sad.
I came home to a trashed house. Boys are messy, and I can't stand it. So I am thinking of spending today cleaning. But then again, it's my birthday so to hell with that!

Tam! That's insane! I don't think I've seen snow that crazy in a very long time. Good old Idaho weather. When did you get the mustang? I didn't know you traded your cavalier. I'm out of the loop!
Happy birthday, I hope you make it a good one
I still have the cavalier. I couldn't part with it. It is a beast in the snow(for the most part), and it brings back some very fond memories. Like shoving freshman in the trunk on the way to seminary. Ah...the good ol' days.
There is actually a huge messy story behind the cavalier/mustang saga....I will have to e-mail you.
P.S. Thanks for the birthday wishes!
