Waiting for the storm

It sounds like the first major snowstorm is on its way. It's supposed to start this afternoon and we may end up with 6 or more inches of snow by tomorrow morning. It will be interesting to see what happens.

On Saturday, I decided to write a holiday letter. I wrote a rather lengthy one which ended up being quite negative and depressing. We would have had to have sent out a warning and a couple of Prozacs with each letter if we would have gone with that one. Sunday morning, I had a brain wave and rewrote the letter so that it's much more positive and shorter. Richard was quite happy with the second letter (I never even let him read the first one).

Saturday night, we went to a fun local holiday party. The food was great and we had a nice time visiting with people. We stayed until midnight, and for some reason Richard and I both woke up feeling hung-over. We both drank diet pop though, so I'll blame the way we felt on the weather. Even despite feeling like I was going to get a migraine, I still wrote the good holiday letter and we worked on getting most of our holiday cards ready to be sent out.

We went out in the evening to Beetles Bar and Grill. The roads were slippery in spots. The 19th St. bridge was like glass and the area around Civic Center Dr. and Hwy 52 was just as bad. We got to dinner and back OK though. I'm just glad we didn't have to travel far. By this morning, the roads weren't all that bad...but now the next storm is bearing down on us as I mentioned at the beginning of the post.
