Snowbound day 2

So today marks the second day of being totally snowed in.  Yesterday we did manage to get the driveway mostly cleared off and get my car free, but this morning when I tried to go to work, we learned that the main road that goes from our house had been closed for the day so that abandoned cars could be cleared out!

This snow storm has been crazy.  I think the final total was somewhere around 20 – 24 inches of the white stuff, which is more than anyone has seen around here in something like 20 years!  At least we now have my car and Amy’s car dug out and we can get out of our driveway (it may take some effort, but at least we can get out.)

It has been nice though, Amy and I have gotten a number of chores done and we’re almost done with all of our Christmas cookies for family and friends!  Now I have the issue of wrapping Amy’s presents…

I’ve never really been good at wrapping presents but this time of year just brings that whole issue to a head.  Despite many offers of cash bribes for wrapping her own presents Amy has yet to accept the offer (sadly.)  I soldier through it year after year though, I have gotten better than I was our first year, but my wrapping is, let’s say, expressive, I express all my rage at wrapping presents and put it into the wrapping itself, let’s just say I can keep 3M in business for a good long while with how much tape I use :)

Ok, one last thing; in my last post I mentioned the trip to PAX East at the end of March.  What I failed to mention is that it won’t only be my wife and I on this trip, but also my friend Aaron and his wife Anna.  Anna and Aaron have been friends for a long time and we try and get together quite often to hang-out, have dinner, and play video games.  As I said before, it should be an awesome trip and I can’t think of two better people we’d rather spend the time with! 

That’s it for now, more later on!
