Snow and more Snow!

Okay so we had a "blizzard" here yesterday and this morning. As usual the "cowboys" around here decided that a little snow shouldn't be a good reason not to work. The good news is that the saner heads at my work (the women) decided that my department at least was outta there at 10:30 a.m. yesterday and not going in at all today. If the macho guys want to try to open the retail operation today, that's their problem not ours. It certainly helps that my group is finance and reports to the regional CFO/VP of Finance who just happens to be (you guessed it) a woman and she felt that our lives and limbs were more important than a days worth of work. Course it doesn't hurt that about half of Colorado is shut down and our region is made up of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Southern Idaho and Western Nebraska. Yep, at least half of our region was in the blizzard zone. Now I have the whole day to just veg out and do whatever especially since Jae had to go in to work. His work did call and tell him they were having a late start (9:00 a.m.) and right after that, he got a call from one of his coworkers, Chad, who had an all wheel drive vehicle and was volunteering to pick up as many of the rest of them as needed him to. Nice guy Chad, we really should do something really nice for him. At least now I don't have to worry about Jae trying to drive on our roads with TK. TK loves dry weather but the least bit of moisture in any form and he freaks out. Stupid fair weather car. Anyway, I think I'll finish cleaning the kitchen and start a crock pot full of either Beef Stew or Pot Roast. Haven't decided which yet. Did I mention that the winds did make some interesting snow sculptures? Yep, quite interesting and no I haven't decided I should move back to Southern California but it was a close thing I gotta tell you. Not really but I did change my screen saver to pix of LA and the California beaches.
