Willow ,'First Date'
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2006? Don't think we've forgotten about you.
I'm hopeful that my Sekrit Santee's gift box got out of the state prior to the almost complete shut-down of Denver today due to a blizzard. I dropped it off at the post office mid-day yesterday and the snow didn't start until this morning, so... fingers crossed.
I always want snow for Christmas day. It's my favorite part of Christmas. It's like Mother Nature's version of ambiance.
One or two inches of snow is ambiance. Eighteen inches is WAY over the top.

Wrod wrod wrod wordy mcword.

Try 36 inches which we had two years running a couple of years ago on the North Shore of MA. So far, Winter 2006 has been mild here; I'm hoping the the 2007 part will do likewise. If we have a winter storm comparable to the rain we got in May/June this year, we're gonna be up to our eyeballs again.
This morning's news seemed to indicate that snowfall projection for Denver has been raised to 30". I hadn't had any coffee at the time though, so I might be wrong. I thought of Nicole, though.
Man, I love that kind of crazy snow.

OTOH, one or two inches is a nuisance. Eighteen inches is several days off work!

Not if it starts snowing Friday afternoon.

Still bitter the two storms that dropped 36" were on the weekend.
Eighteen inches in Minnesota is one day off, I think. Maybe. But "if the interstate is cleared, you better be at work."
I haven't made the best employment choices.

Depends where you work. Some places, it's not an excuse for being 5 minutes late.

15 years later, and I'm still bitter that I had to take "unscheduled" time off, to leave work (a telephone customer service job for billing) during a hurricane, AFTER public transit had shut down.
I am glad that I got my SS out already, though. Hopefully it has arrived/will arrive soon. And my gift already got here from the west coast. I'm going to open it tonight. Yay!
