Saturday Thoughts

#1 I got 12 hours of sleep last night and it was HEAVENLY. I could not tell you the last time I slept that long. I feel asleep watching Good Luck Chuck at 9:30 and didn't wake up until 9:15 this morning. Wow, wow, wow! :)

#2 Speaking of which, I've been getting a really sore neck from sleeping. I think my pillows are just old and such. I'll have like full range of motion when I turn by head one way, but depending on what side I slept up I'll only be able to turn my neck a little bit before it starts to hurt the other way.SO this morning I was telling my mom/dad about it and they said that I could use one of their temprapedic pillows that they aren't using. So I went over to their house and got that. I am so excited to sleep tonight!

#3 I signed up for a 10 mile run that will happen on March 7th earlier today. I am nervous/excited at the same time. My Dad's doing it, and so is my cousin. And my friend Chris. But they're all guys, so I think I'm going to have to run the whole thing alone. Which is kind of okay because if I was running with someone I'd feel like I have to keep up, and I just don't think I'd be able to. My goal is to finish in an hour and fourty minutes. Which might sound really long, but if I finish in that time, it means I held a steady 10 minute mile. Which is good enough for me. At this point, I just want to finish. I've never run a 10 miler, so I just want to finish, in a somewhat respectable time.

#4 I went out to Uno's happy hour with Amy last night and it was really exciting. The apetizers were such a good deal. I got their Tuscany bread, which is bread with cheese, spinach, and tomatoes on it for 1.99 YUM! Good deal, check them out if you have one in your town! :)

#5 I am finally doing my taxes tomorrow with my Dad's help. Thank GOODNESS! I can't wait to get my refund checks. :) Even if half of it is going to my Dad to help pay for my car repair back in January :P

Oh the weather outside is frightful!

There is no other way to say it! I've been thinking that this snow wasn't that big of a deal and it wasn't even half as much as we got last weekend but it turns out, it's almost as much, if not MORE than we got last weekend! Woops, guess having a window that over looks a parking lot leads to delusions. My bad! Anyway, here are some updated images!

I always think its a good idea to go out in the snow without shoes on, as you can see by my foot print in this picture. I don't know that I necessarely think it's a "good idea" but I just can't be bothered with putting shoes on. Unfortunately my feetsies went numb rather quickly, so I decided to come inside and put on my mamouth crocs (so fuzzy and warm!!)

PS- This is in the covered balcany area of my apartment!

 Out in front of the apartment, the parking lot. Do you see that like gray pool in the center of the parking lot?? That's where they plowed last night (but not today???). It was a pool of slush until about an hour ago. Now it's snow covered slush. That is going to freeze and be a BIG problem tomorrow!

This was really cool when I first saw it. I walked over and like a wave of snow went flying, it looked like ocean spray. Obviously it was the wind, but it was really cool looking.

The road and back spot behind my apartment building. Obviously its a little snowier than I realized.

The snow covered ground. This is pretty uninteresting I just thought it was a testimony to how well covered the ground is.
