Hello Shadow

I slacked off writing last month. I apologize to everyone who fills their free time by reading this. Sorry Mom, Rob, & Lauren.

Last month was just crazy. There was so much going on at my office with all the stupid politics that goes on. I know it happens in every office, but it really was the pits last month. For a week I was doing the job of 2 people, without getting any warning. Each day was a crap shoot. Add to that the drive & the extended office hours being covered by myself, I was exhausted by the end. Of course this week appears to be shaping up in a similar way.

Sunday, we went to Gerry & Roseann's house to watch the big game. All I wanted to see was half time. I was "sober" enough to watch & enjoy it. After that is a bit blurry. I was drinking a strawberry daiquiri that magically never seemed to diminish. Yeah, someone should've warned me that when you do battle with Bicardi, the Bicardi always wins. I had a decent hang-over on Monday (my first!). I'd really like to avoid that feeling again.

I was driving in to work on Monday morning & heard that the groundhog saw his shadow. Just what we all want to hear, more friggin' winter. I suppose it will be spring before we know it, but it just seems so far away right now. I just think it was appropriate that it began snowing on Groundhog Day & hasn't let up since. That snow finally began to accumulate on my way home from work this afternoon. I made it right up to the gates of Pine Ridge, only to be stuck for 45 minutes. It seems that some ding-a-ling caused an accident on the bend of the first hill going up Pine Ridge Drive. Sure enough once I was allowed in the gates with the rest of traffic, I heard the security guy say there was an accident on Kittatinny Drive (my road). I looped around & made it home though.

Here I sit now, trying to figure out how the dog has managed to eat through 3 new collars in less than 1 week.
