Late birthday prezzies! Mom and I went to El Mariachi for lunch and then she gave me my present—an electric snow shovel! I’m so the geekiest person in my subdivision. Heh. It’s the same size as a regular snow shovel, but it blows the snow just like a big snowblower. Unfortunately, I had already shoveled something like 9 times already so there wasn’t much I could do with it…yet.
Yay!  :flake:
Thanks for the birthday wishes! This was actually one of the more enjoyable birthdays of recent years. I got my early gifts from Ben and Jesse, super-cool post from Ben on LJ, socks and Borders gift card from Scott and Jamie, and a cool diecast metal AT-AT from Cage. Mrs. Bush (the other counselor at work) got me a caramel pound cake and Mom made my candle cake. The family ate out and had a pleasant time. Hobbit and Istar held a rowdy party last night, and Istar must have hit the hooch a little too much because he kept wanting to get in the fireplace. He’s a little nutty, that one!
I was going to see the MVHS production of Steel Magnolias, but since we have several inches of snow, it’s been postponed. Now I can do that work I had planned on doing yesterday. Ooh, and I still have to finish my assignment for class.
It’s snowing. A lot. I figure it’s easier to make several trips out to shovel than to wait until there are more than 3″ and try to shovel that heavy amount. After a two hour delay turned into a full day off yesterday, I was excited when the phone rang this morning. We were already on a two hour delay, so the call could mean only one thing–right? WRONG. Apparently, there’s something called “Code A” which means that kids don’t have to attend, but staff does! 😮 I worked 10-3 and I have to say, I’m glad. Having been out since Thursday, it was good to get back and get caught up on my work. It seems I missed a bomb threat on Friday. They evacuated the school and everyone went home early, so I guess I didn’t miss too much when I was in Charleston. What I know I didn’t miss was my fabulous birthday presents from Ben and Jesse. Those guys sure know how to take care of a girl! Cool animals, masks, and LOTR guys…shweeeet! :clap:
That’s it! Back to work, peon!
…and the state of affairs is NOT good. Istar seems to be healed up quite nicely. He finished his second round of antibiotic Saturday and now he’s taking only the microbial replacement therapy (which prevents upset tummy).
However, the news about Season 4 of SGA is NOT looking good. First off, we find out that a beloved cast member will “go missing” and that the Wraith aren’t the main villains anymore, but the Replicators will become so. We know that we’re getting a cast member from the junk heap that was Firefly (sorry fans), and now comes word that Weir is leaving?!? The backbone of the show?!?! Recurring. Yeah, ask Ford about that one. Arrrrrgh! 😡 I don’t know if I can watch SGA without Weir. I could do without anyone (even Ronon!) except Weir and Sheppard. Woes!!!
Oh, and ironically enough, I finished the new (and default) theme, Team, before I read all the latest SGA news. Joke’s on me.
