weekend!

seriously. this week has been rough. i actually woke up fairly rested today...probably because it's friday and i was ok with starting the day.

my boots [i wrote about in my previous post] are en route to ERIE! woot. maybe i'll get them monday, if the snow doesn't stop them.

and yes, we have some emergency state of something crazy weather warning today until MONDAY. blah. and the best part is - my awesome snow brush josh bought me was stolen w/ my CD player [front of cd player] so i've got a piece of crap to get the 8' of snow off my car. gotta get a new one today, and it's payday! thats good...

ok, that's all, quick update. bye!

can you say "snow"?

yeah. this morning sucked. it was SO bad at our house. i started driving, knowing i couldnt take 79 or go UP cherry street, but then i couldnt see 10 feet in front of me so i got nervous and wanted to wait it out at home for a bit, which made me turn UP cherry, causing me to get stuck, for about 15 minutes. trying to go up, reverse down and then not being able to see...getting stuck again, cars all over trying to go around me...me crying of course cause i didn't know what to do, calling dad and freaking him out, but not letting him come to me because i didn't want him to venture up that horrible way. eventually i reversed into some woman's driveway [she thought shoveling me out would work, but that wasn't going to help, i wasn't stuck IN snow...just ON it...].

anyway, i made it down cherry and by the time i got to 38th and cherry it was like a different world out there. barely snowing, not even 1/2 as much snow every where. my boss said he got a "dusting" last night. there's at LEAST a foot on my car.

i wonder if it is still snowing up there. i wonder how i'm going to get home...

but i AM going to see TWILIGHT tonight!!! who cares about the snow, that's happening. :)

V.v.V

this week has been entirely too crazy. tuesday i was out all night right after work at church. our youth pastor and volunteers hosted a Thanksgiving Dinner for the boarding school students who go to the school where i coach volleyball. i knew several of these students from bus trips back and forth to the volleyball and soccer games this past fall. it was a really great idea, as it didn't seem that the boarding school was doing anything special for the kids for Thanksgiving Day. we helped cook, serve and hung out with the students [playing wii, rockband and volleyball]. i also took some pictures. i think they had a lot of fun, and hope they can come back out for the youth events on Sunday nights.

i was asked this year to be "officially" invovled in the holiday decorating at the church. last year i was pulled in last minute to put ornaments on the massive trees on the stage. i'm enjoying it so far. everyone seems to have the same idea of how we want the church to look - classy, contemporary and in no way cheesey! i'm excited to spend a couple nights & a saturday putting it all together and hanging out with the ladies [and aaron] on the team.

i was planning on a night at home today and tomorrow...but it looks like all that has been jumbled around as well. tomorrow i'm going to see TWILIGHT with my cousin right after work and Saturday kc and i [and maybe kt] are going to Edinboro to visit Stace! i got to see her at GE today, that was fun.

anyway...it's still kinda snowy. rumor is we'll get 2-3 FEET this weekend. YIKES.

happy thursday everyone!

snow!

sunday i went with my parents to my grandparent's house for some of gramma's homemade sauce and meatballs! it, of course, was amazing and like none other. when i was younger, i wouldnt eat ANY other spaghetti sauce but her's. nothing out of a can or at a restaurant. i would eat mum's only because it was the same recipe. i'm glad to say i've branched out a little, but there's still something about gramma's sauce that i adore!

anyway, while i was there, brooke decided to sleep in cute places. first, in my coat.

then, in the laundry basket.

and yes, there was snow in erie yesterday! i had no idea it was supposed to snow, so i was pretty shocked when i looked out my bedroom window.

here's the snow on my drive to work...



here's the slushie mess known as my "walk" to work...



looking out the back door of the office. only a month ago i remember looking at this tree [on the left] in it's autumn beauty. the leaves on the tree become completely all yellow...a beautiful, rusty yellow. i meant to take a picture of it so many times...it would be a good shot to show the sesasons i think...

annnnyway, it's tuesday, whatever. i'm ready for the weekend again...

oh...AND OUR CRUISE IS ALMOST A MONTH AWAY! ONE MONTH FROM TODAY WE WILL BE PACKING AND SLEEPING IN OUR BEDS THE LAST TIME BEFORE WE'RE OFF!!!!!!!!
