it blizzarded outside

the meteorologists for the past couple of days have been reminiscent of paul revere's ride through town saying 'the blizzard is coming, the blizzard is coming' well last night the blizzard took a midnight ride of it's own and i'm proud to announce that we have now reached our quota on snowfall for the year... last night we got around 11 inches, which had all the churches in the area cancelling their events for the day... i highly doubt that reaching this quota will help us in anyway not to get more snow, because i live in wisconsin where the weather can be 70 degrees one day and knee deep in snow the very next. i am definitely staying positive though, because i went grocery shopping yesterday and have plenty of rationed food to keep me till all the roads are plowed today. not to mention that blockbuster is 100 feet away, so as long as they are still open, I will be able to make the treachorous treck to and from with a pleasant result of being fabulously entertained.

On friday whilst hanging out with my lovely friend Heidi, I had the opportunity to get a tour of the firestation her husband works at, at the local airport. The tour was SWEET, her husband, jeff showed me everything from the control center, to the trucks, to the roof of the trucks... yeah I got to walk across the top of a fire truck. The coolest thing was probably the infrared camera that they have built into one of the trucks so that you can find where people are in the event of a fire. It was pretty sweet.

LOST

::tonight::
- i attended a sort of art gallery/open house in which a few of my pieces were on display. i mingled about with several people that i know and several that i was meeting for the first time. i enjoyed the ambiance, and i'm proud to say that i also purchased a collage that was made by the wife of one of the pastors at a church that i do a twenty something bible study at. it is a phenomenal piece. hopefully sometime in the near future i can get a picture of it on here.
- i've been online for a couple of hours, and have purchased a few coffee table books including the gashlycrumb tinies and some brian andreas.

::this past week::
- everyday felt like friday, and not in the good way... and then friday didn't really feel like friday.
- i've been wondering if having too much caffeine can hurt your kidneys? can it?
- i made a painting to put in the art show thing that i went to tonight. i think that it was a success. it is a black and white painting of a park, with a small pond and a statue of a rather large hand.
- an elliptical machine was delivered to my house. now, while i haven't the vaguest of ideas of how to put it together, i did take all of the pieces out of the box and placed them randomly about the floor in the room where it will eventually be put together. i think that it was the most exercise i've had in a while. now all i need is my friend craig to help me put it together, so that i can set up my lovely but strict schedule of exercising when i'm on it.
- i completed the adjustment to the slightly devastating haircut i got 2 weeks ago. my hair is now officially apologizing to me and doing what i ask it to.
