Snow = Hard work

It's been snowing here for a while. Like since Friday at 1pm - and it's now 1pm on Sunday. It looks like it's supposed to continue until 8pm tonight. We have a few inches on the ground already. Like 10inches. It just doesn't quit.

I walked to my piano lesson this morning - which is a little over a mile away. I then walked to Harvard square to pick up a last minute christmas gift - and then back home. Typically a trip like that would take me like 1.5 hours total including the piano lesson. It took me 2.5 hours today. The snow just made everything slow going and because it's hasn't really stopped people haven't really shoveled yet. So it makes for extremely slow walking. I was so cold and wet by the time I got home I just stripped off all of my wet clothes - either my extremely wet pants and long johns or my sweat filled shirts and sweatshirt.

I'm exhausted now. It was like walking through sand the entire time. I think that was a pretty good work out.

And now for the Weekend update, with your host: Tina Fay

I only wish I had the ingenuity that Tina Fay has in her writing... I'm afraid I'm a desperate lot and most often any attempts at being humorous fall flatter than the breasts in the Itty Bitty Titty Committee. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it), this weekend was relatively tame. Lots of drinking -- but not that exciting. Didn't really get to meet a lot of new people. Though the highlight had to be the marriage proposal I got. Yes, that's right, a marriage proposal. While I'm waiting impatiently to get into the single stall in the ladies room -- I recieved the most amazingly wretched drunk pickup line weirdness. "Will you marry me." Me: "Excuse me are you talking to me?" Druken boy: "Yeah, will you marry me?" Me: "Um no, I don't even know you. I don't even live here." Drunken boy: "Me either." Me: "Um okay -- so I just want to pee." Drunken boy: "But will you ...

Nicest Weather EVER!

The ride to work this morning was amazing. It was some of the nicest weather that I've seen in a long time. Almost 60 deg F, sunny, just nice. I want more of this weather. Bought tickets today for BOSTON! I'm in major need of a mini-break and in major need of getting away from work for a few days. I'm so excited to go back! I miss it sooo much. It's hard living somewhere you don't like. It just makes me think of looking for another job so that I don't have to live here anymore. But I'm not even partially vested yet -- so I need to stay at least a full year to become at least partially vested. *Sigh* Work stucks today for so many reasons. I'm glad it's friday. And I'm really glad I get to go to Boston next weekend. Yeah for Boston!
