It's snowing...AGAIN in Denver.
Another 4-8 inches today.
And they expecting another storm next week, another big one...one with like 12-24 inches.
I'm a little over the snow...and finally the mountains are getting some, which means the ski conditions are finally good.
But for the love of God, make it stop snowing!!

F-ing crazy...
So, yesterday was the best day ever...Why?
When I got up at 7:00 am (not part of the best day ever), I made breakfast. I put in Scrubs (I had 3 seasons to get through). I laid in bed, relaxing and simply enjoying the fact that I didn't have to work on a Thursday.
But by 11:00 am, I thought I was going to go crazy. I had been couped up for 2 days and needed to get out. So, I started making phone calls. Penn Street Perk, closed. Panera, closed. Uptown Tavern...OPEN! I loaded up my computer, put on my snow gear and walked the 3 blocks to a packed bar, to use the Internet and be with people. Eventually Sheralee met me there and enjoyed some adult beverages with me. I chatted on gmail, looked at myspace, and just enjoyed the people around me.
Eventually Sheralee and I left, and went back to my apartment to grab my camera. She and I walked around the capital and cathedral, taking pictures of the beauty of the city. It was so peaceful and absolutely beautiful. We got to the capital and some girls let us take a couple of slides down on their sled. People were so kind and giving in the midst of all of this. The joyful spirit was overcoming so many people. Jim met up with us and then we walked downtown. The 16th Street Mall was beautiful and then we went to Lime for dinner (Jim ate...Sheralee and I just enjoyed his company).
After dinner, we were walking back to my apartment so I could check into Southwest for my flight today (more on that in a second). But it was so far to walk, and it had gotten colder. So, we started hitch-hiking. And thankfully some New Yorker picked us up and took us to my apartment! THANK YOU!!
Once I grabbed my info, we walked to Jim's and eventually came to the intersection of 12th and Pennsylvania, where 2 RTD buses had t-boned. However, in the middle of the t-bone was a keg...
IT WAS A KEG PARTY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET!
FREE BEER!
FOR ALL!
So, Jim, Sheralee and I took our free beer and walked down to his apartment. I love it that people are so friendly in the midst of all of this.
I got my boarding pass, I'm sitting at the airport...my butt is a little numb from sitting since 7:00 am. But I'm here, and supposedly I'm leaving tonight. I'm anxious to get to KC, and hopefully I'm on a plane in 3 hours. I'm prepared though...1st season of Grey's, a couple of movies, and trashy magazines...all in all, not too bad.
But if I don't get out tonight, then we might have problems.
Pictures from the walk yesterday will be up later :)

An unexpected snow day...
We were all sent home today at noon because of the blizzard. I took Mark back to his house and then I made my way to Safeway and to 7-11. Why? Why not just go home? I had no food in my refrigerator. My fridge had 1 britta pitcher, 2 cherry cokes, and 12 beers. Which wouldn't be a bad thing considering that I am leaving on Friday to go back to KC and then when I get back, I'm house sitting for 12 days. So, why go to the store if I didn't need to? This was before I had to go home. I went to Safeway, realizing that I would need food since there was no way in hell I was going out once I got home. Plus I needed gas. I wasn't going to leave my car with 1/4 of a tank of gas in the midst of the 2006 blizzard.
Once I got home, I changed into my comfy clothes. I made lunch and then turned on the TV. I watched last week's "The Office" and "Scrubs". I rested, read the paper, and listened to music. I made brownies, took out the trash, and currently, I'm watching "The Blues Brothers". Now, this doesn't feel like the worst day ever, but I'm slowly getting cabin fever. I use to have days like this back in Chicago where I could just lounge. How in 2 years things have changed. I'm slowly getting restless. I wish my internet was back so I could surf the web and just play around. I wish I had neighbors who didn't hog their internet. Now, if the office remains closed tomorrow, I have no idea what I am going to do. I might wander over to Panera. Get some soup and steal their internet. But they might not be open. Everything is closing or is closed.
Colorado Mills -- Closed
City of Fort Lipton -- Closed (how does a city close down?!)
Dumb Friends League -- Closed
Great West Life Insurance and Annuity -- Closed
And I love that the national news is reporting on this blizzard. OH MY GOSH! IT'S SNOWING IN DENVER...A LOT OF SNOW! FREAK OUT NOW!
So, who knows what tomorrow will hold. But thankfully, I'm safe and sound and nothing is wrong with me...except for this damn cabin fever.
On a side note, my friend J was suppose to leave today to fly back to Chicago. Unfortunately, that didn't happen, which made me worry about my flights on Friday. Hopefully I should get out and get back to KC.
