happy leap day snowstorm!
by a fortuitous scheduling fluke, i find myself with five days off in a row! mini-vacation!! i'm only working four days a week right now, and two of my days off this week are friday and saturday, and my three next week are sunday, monday, and tuesday. so i don't go back to work until next wednesday! :D
i have a goal to make at least one post every one of these 5 days. whether i succeed or not... well, i guess we'll know by wednesday!
to celelbrate my mini-vacation, i slept way the hell in this morning until about noon. and when i woke up, it was snowing like a motherfucker, and it hasn't slowed all afternoon! it's been really pretty light fluffy snow, too. so i thought i'd go out and take some pictures, primarily for my southern girlfriend who's never seen a major snowfall (in hopes that i might tempt her to come up here to experience one for herself sometime soon :p). but i figured, why not share with everyone!
my backyard. not all of the snow is from this snowfall, but there was at least 4-5" today.
me + backyard + teh snow.
my car's under there somewhere!
need proof? there's the rear view. of course, all this snow came the day after i got my car washed. behind it is my dad's new project; a (rather rare) volkswagen pickup truck.
basically, it's a van cut off behind the cab, with a canvas cover....... much like a covered wagon. :p
my street in one direction.
and the other.
my house! or, more accurately, my parents' house. the house i grew up in. yes, that's a snowflake flag. my mom has flags for every season. she's all "martha stewart" like that.
from across the street.
the neighbours' house, which is a twin house to ours. we share a driveway.
our other neighbours' house. oh yeah, and some more snow.
yours truly. covered in snow. it's on my glasses.
i tried to get into the bathroom fast enough that the snow wouldn't all melt. i think i was semi-successful? :p
and that was the pretty snowy leap day!
note: i think this post may mark one of, if not the only time that i've posted when not *completely* up to date on my friends list. i may be setting a dangerous precedent here. :p that's normally one of the main things that prevents me from posting.
