friday night a tree fell on our power line outside and we were left without power for 3 stinkin days. saturday we gave up on trying to stay warm and walked to annie's house - a 3 mile walk. we came back the next day, power still out, and walked to TH's house in DC. we walked across the bridge because no metros were running to his house due to the 1.5 feet of snow on the ground, so another 4 mile walk (it was really, really pretty though). the next day i went out to manassas to take a break from this city, and hung out with the fam. then ride back to the metro yesterday, took it into crystal city, then metro'd to TH's before the yellow line shut down again and i was stuck.
pros: fun time with family, friends, lots of food, picked out wedding flowers, did actually a ton of wedding stuff, government shut down so no work.
cons: cold, stressful to not be at home, no work so my days are totally unstructured, there are like 2 feet of snow on the ground.
anyway, we are making the best of it. we've planned out our honeymoon, talked with the florist and caterer, other wedding stuff, and settled into the new apartment a little bit. we've got big plans for this place. we'll be painting this weekend, then time to really focus on moving in!
the winds are up to 40mph outside, snow is falling quickly, and cars keep getting stuck on the road in front of our house. who drives in this weather? especially if you're a cadillac?
we get it, snow.

i can TOTALLY picture you saying "who cares?" "who cay-uhs?"
THREE DAYS? i didn't know it was out that long! we would have driven you over some quiche.
looking forward to painting day. i luv painting!
also, what is up with these word verifications? this one is "mylactid"... sounds like a prescription waiting to be filled.
Painting good, walking, good. Being evicted from your new digs by weather, that is poo.
You have power now though, right??
