COLD... that's how I would describe it here. I about cried this morning when my car wouldn't start for the first time ever! My trusty Passat just couldn't muster the courage. Thank goodness the Trib revved right up. I had to awaken the sleeping bear (aka Mikey) to jump my car. I guess the good thing that came out of this is that I learned how to hook up jumper cables. We must have -40 to -50 degree wind chills today. The wind is whipping and the air temp is 23 below zero. Pure frigidness...
Anna is literally bouncing off the walls, or me, or Mikey, or the couch...
We need to get her out this weekend. It's suppose to warm up to a balmy 20 degrees on Saturday.
I am looking forward to a weekend of relaxing and re-charging to prepare for another busy semester of classes. We still need to finalize the specs for a new bathroom vanity, sink & faucet. So, we'll need to do some shopping this weekend.
Happy Birthday to my mom on Tuesday! I hope you'll like the gift I'm sending (I must say, I'm a bit jealous).
Have a great weekend!

it's official...
Mikey is now a professional Wii tennis player! He surpassed the 1000 point mark a few minutes ago. In the 5+ years that I've known him, I've never seen him so excited about a new toy. Favorite games include baseball, tennis, fishing, and cow riding (yes, really).
We're back to Laptop Land (a.k.a. I started school again today and so I can rent a laptop again through UMD). I think that's the only tangible perk to taking classes. For the next two weeks I'm taking Management of Information Technology. Then I'll have Corporate Finance and HR Challenges for spring semester.
We had a great New Years celebration. Mike's parents were here as well as Nellie & Bruce (neighbors). Mike made leg of lamb, smashed potatoes, and shrimp with coconut cashew basmati rice. We managed to get the basement walls painted (thanks John & Dianne) as well as our bedroom. Then on Sunday we spent the day digging out from our 4th major snowstorm in a month. It's been a busy couple of weeks. The best part was unplugging our alarm clock for 8 days! We feel refreshed and ready to face 2009. We hope you are too!
