Miles Peeking out of his Hidey Hole

The weather here is GROSS! Today it’s -22C (-9F) and it’s snowing. Thursday’s drive home was NASTY! Probably the worst I’ve driven on. Before I left for work, it took me 15 minutes to sweep 8 inches of snow off my Jeep. The highway wasn’t really that bad at all, but when I was going through the industrial town I pass through on my way home, the intersections were ridiculous! I slid all the way through the first one, just inches from the guy in front of me before my ABS brakes saved my bacon. The next intersection, obviously I was wiser, so I stayed well back of the car in front of me, but the old man behind me, was not yet as wise, and he slid right into my rear end!! No visible damage though. When I got out to check, I could hardly stand up, it was so slippery, and polished from the wind. Fortunately the rest of the trip home was much less eventful!
The kids came out that night for dinner because it was Jay’s birthday. They didn’t stay too long, because Sarah had a soccer game. Yesterday it was just BEASTY cold! No more snow, but now today the snow is back. I believe these frigid temps are supposed to last for another 3-4 days. Yuck!
I’ve got Monday off work as well, so I’ve kind of been contemplating putting up some Christmas decorations. I’m not going to put up everything this year, as I’m sure that Stanley the little thief will be raising a ruckus in that tree! That Little Bastard is like a crow! He steals anything I happen to be too lazy to put away off my dresser. I find earrings all over! He also steals tubes of lipstick, and pens! It’s a good thing he’s so damn cute and cuddly!
