Yes, I do seem to still have a blog after all. I honestly got twitchy not being able to blog these last few days. Guess I'm not ready to get rid of the blog after all. Let me get you caught up as to what all happened in the interim. Like half of the free world, we got snow last week. Lots and lots of snow. Enough snow to keep both me and the spouse home from work. And, because we never go out on Valentine's Day proper, it didn't effect our plans at all. We had gone out for dinner the night before. Mmmm, peppered tuna. I learned on the snowy day that I in fact do work harder at home than I would have at work. I had one break for lunch that lasted all of 20 minutes, but billed 10 hours for the full day. My eyes ached. My couch may never forgive me for the dent I put in it. Fast forward to the end of the week. Saturday found us making the final decision on the car. We gave Nissan one last shot as well as Volkswagen. (Note: If we walk in the door looking for Audis, don't try and put me in a Jetta...do I look broke to you?) And the winner is....the BMW 328xi. Yes, I have become a stereotype. And you know what? Don't care. The car is that nice. Now, I only have to get over my fears of driving again and I'll really enjoy it. With all the additional snow and ice around, I get freaked out just riding in cars at night, let alone try and drive one. I'm just going to have to suck it up. Of course, I heard on the news this morning that there was a fatal accident not very far from our house last night where a kid hit a telephone pole. I just shuddered. Today finds me having a long awaited day off. Thank you Federal banking holiday. I have my blog back, a new car on the way, and a day off. I'm happy. Here's hoping it carries over to work tomorrow.
