I missed you!!!

The funny thing is that you probably didn't even realize I was gone. :o) Yep, the phone company doesn't like it when they have to wait for their money. Apparently I pushed the envelope of how long I can put them off. They got mad, threw a fit and turned off my outgoing calls on the phone, and I was ok about it. Then it away went my email...again ok, I could use my hotmail acct. I made a payment but because of the holiday, the earliest it would clear was Monday. The the internet was gone all together! NOOOOOOO! How did we live without it? I'm not even talking about usingit socially. I'm talking about having info at our fingertips immediately. I was amazed at how often someone said they'd look up something then remember they couldn't. Monday came and went and we still weren't connected. So this morning I called and they put an order in to turn things back on. The phone came on but the internet didn't. 55 minutes on the phone with the tech guy and taaadaaa! We're back in business.

So what happened since I was on here last? I have over 320 emails to look through and over 30 blog updates to catchup with. Around here...I had beer pouring on Saturday. I had my favorite pouring spot with the specialty beer. 2 of us pouring 4 different beers. Mine was Sam Adams Lager, Magic Hat #9, Syracuse Pale Ale and Doghead Fish 60 min IPA.

It's been snowing a lot. It literally hasn't stopped snowing since Friday afternoon (you can see flakes falling in the polar bear swim photos below). Even when the sun was out this morning the flakes were flying. And lucky me...Tom is on call so all the driving Michelle to work falls on me. At least the van is handling well. Here's some pictures....

Doesn't look to be a ton of difference from Monday but you can see the bike on the right of the swings is totally covered now.

My parents were going to visit us this weekend but I told them to stay home because of the weather. I told them they could come out for Luke's birthday (it's in March) lol. Hopefully they come out soon since they have Olivia's boots that they had to exchange. It would be nice if she could get some use out of them.

You'd think with having no internet I'd have gotten a lot of crocheting done or my house would be spic n span. NOPE! I totally shut down. I sat at the computer and played games. And now I realized it would've been a good time to read the book my mom lent me (forgot about it until just this second...drats!)

Tomorrow is another day at the Syracuse Dome. This time it's a concession stand for the Syracuse basketball game against Memphis. Unfortunately they lost their first game on Saturday against Pitt. Hopefully the crowd doesn't die down because of that one loss.

Well time to go back into the freezing cold van and pick up Michelle.
