Beautiful Birthday... and a Blizzard

This was a great weekend. Friday was my birthday (29 again!) and it was a very good day at work (thanks kids!). We had cake and everyone behaved! It's nice when I don't come home from work frustrated. At night, Al and I went out for dinner at McCormick and Schmicks at the Biltmore. They print out a special menu with your birthday wish on it for you and throw in a free dessert. We had a nice quiet dinner and then went out for a drink while waiting to pick Jake and his friends up at the mall. Then, we came home, had a nice bottle of wine and watched some movies.

On Saturday, we headed out to eat at Casserinos then went to PPAC to see Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat which was a nice surprise. It's always good when you go into something without any preconcieved notions. It was quite enjoyable. Then, I came home, cleaned like a banshee.... Ahhhhh... one of life's pleasures for me is having a spotless house! We watched some movies at night (more wine :-) then went to bed awaiting the upcoming blizzard.

Today, it snowed like crazy!! I love snow and love it when we actually get what they predict. We've gotten over a foot already and it's still coming down. I think it's actually tapering off now and the wind is starting to die down. I'm still hoping for an extra day off tomorrow!!

The Winter Olympics have started... I've loved the Olympics since I was a kid and will try to watch as much as I can. Of course, we'll have to squeeze in our nightly Sopranos viewing.

So, today, I worked on some work from my class and got caught up on my coursework and stayed in my sweats all day :-) Like I said, it was a GREAT weekend!!
