snow day

i'm feeling quite behind the times, now that i have actually seen facebook--courtesy of colin, and i just read an article about it in real simple--by a woman who participates at arms length. blogging is pretty 21st century for me!
susan did a great job of chronicalling our week. it was very fun, very relaxing, and we laughed a lot. ruby and link loved having someone else around to get petted by, fun to finally have shelly and chris meet another sister, and great fun to talk about college and walk around the CU campus with some college kids who i know. lots of good food, just a little crap for colin on his birthday, and lots of discussion about susan and my fears of exposure and not using the ski lift guard in front of us.
i did have 2 root canals on monday, after a week of pain. so i had took M and tuesday off this week. then worked on wednesday, and it blizzarded on thursday. it started very early thursday, and i did go into work, but left by 11 am. they closed our office at noon, which was far too late--cuz the roads were horrible, and the wind made for white out driving. it took me an hour to get home--which is usually at 12 minute drive. so today we had a full snow day--got about 18" in our yard. lots of snorkeling by the dogs, and the snowblower got yet another workout. so i've had 2 short weeks at work. i have a briefcase full of work, but i didn't do too much today. it was far nicer to read magazines, and watch all my children, and do a bootcamp work out!
this weekend should be quiet--a lot of snow has melted so far. we are about to build a raised vegetable garden bed--i wanted to do it last year--before ms. obama--but we never got around to it last summer.
we're going to go see bruce springstein at the pepsi center on april 10, with a friend of mine from work. we'll be in the nosebloeed section, but i've finally convinced david that this could be our last chance to be rockers with the e street band.
we did watch W last weekend, which was pretty interesting. chalk up his political career to "i'll show mom and dad". wow.
well, time for pizza tonight. take care everyone--

love--michele, david, link and ruby
