I’m Alive, I Swear…

6 04 2009

I realize it’s been eons since my last post but this week has been crazy-hectic and I wasn’t even around internet the last 2 days so you guys can’t blame me… much.  As soon as I can figure out how to get the pictures from my phone to my computer, I will show y’all where I was. But basically, to describe, it’s this lake about 45 minutes up the hill from me that is completely frozen over and there is about 1-3 feet of snow on the ground depending on where you are. Drifts up to about 6 feet.  My step brother’s grandparents… or something, own this cabin up there, so my family was celebrating my Dad’s birthday in style.

I took a few pictures of us standing on the lake (where we took several walks) and also putting this Puzzle From The Underworld together. It was this little bridge and about 6 billion trees during fall. Can you imagine trying to put 1,000 pieces together of just tree leaves? Yeah, it was a blast. We also played games – Monopoly, dice, etc. and watched some movies. We ate steak, crab, garlic bread, baked potatos and salad for dinner last night (amazing I know) and cinnamon buns for breakfast, yum. But now I’m back, and in the valley it’s 75 degrees outside. Wait, let me repeat that SEVENTY FIVE degrees. I was driving out of town and there were 3 foot snowbanks alongside my car as I drove and I heard the radio announcer say “and it looks like it’s going to even out at about 75 degrees today… and tomorrow, and actually… pretty much all week. Enjoy it!” and here I am driving to a cabin that hsa 6 foot long icicles on it. I don’t even know.

So that’s what I was up to. Everybody will be happy to know that I didn’t give up on The Historian. I realize it’s past the end of the month but I’m going to finish it if it’s the last thing I do (which hopefully it isn’t). I’m actually almost done with it, I just didn’t have time this weekend to read it, so I’ll work on this. I finished a few of my ongoing projects up this week so I should be able to squeeze in an hour or two to finish up and post on it, since I know you all were waiting breathlessly for my commentary.

Aside from all that, I’ve been keeping busy. Anything fun happen to you guys this week?
