birthday wishes and snow storms

February 7, 2008

 today is my dad’s birthday so i went to dinner with the birthday boy and my mom.  he’s not one to celebrate or make a big deal out of it anymore.  love ya pops!  i hope i never lose that birthday excitement.  however the big 3-0 is staring me straight in the face in less than a month.

i wanted to wish my friend steve a very happy birthday!  i first met him about 10 years ago when we met playing quake online and i ended up taking a train 23 hours to visit him and play together in a tournament in washington d.c. we had lost touch soon after that, but somehow our paths crossed again.

you have made a huge impact on me and i am forever grateful to have you in my life. people like you only are made every so often. you are a true friend and an amazing person who deserves nothing but the best.

today we were dumped with about 10 inches of snow throughout last night and all today.  i ventured out twice and both times it felt like i was in a bad movie.  our city has decided not to put salt down until the snow is completely done because they are running low on supply.  now our streets are so packed with snow that it feels like you’re driving over rocks starring in a ford f-150 commercial.   because of this latest storm, school was cancelled this morning, and i found out from a 6am automated phone call.  so much for sleeping in!
