A Veritable Winter Wonderland
Well, it's the start of a new year and I hope everyone is off to a fine beginning. For Liz and I, our new year started off pretty low-key. As I had mentioned, we had big plans to head up to the cities to join in on Lagatta-Bash 2005. Unfortunately, those plans fell through when Lizzy got sick last week. Come Friday night, she still wasn't feeling very well, so we didn't make it up to the cities.
Not all was lost, or so I thought. We were still planning on heading up in the morning, assuming Lizzy was feeling better. It just so happens that, the next morning, Lizzy was, indeed, feeling better. (The same could not be said for Lagatta and crew, who were now busy recovering from the night before.) However, before we could make the trip up to the cities, we were halted in our tracks by a very nasty ice storm.
See that ice layer on my deck? Yeah, that's all over everything right now in Rochester. A couple days later and we're still recovering, to some degree. Most of the roads are open again, but parking lots and driveways and rather treacherous. I even stopped off at Home Depot to pick up some more salt and sand (I used up well over half a bag of salt on my driveway already) only to find that they're sold out. Figures.
So, unfortunately, Liz and I didn't make it up to the cities at all this weekend. It's quite unfortunate, because I really wanted to get there, but it just didn't work out.
Instead of heading to the cities, I finished off the work in the basement on the McGlone-A-Plex. In general, it's done now. We ordered some movie posters tonight that we'll use for decoration and we got a new lamp to help brighten it up a bit, but it's pretty much done. You can flip a movie on and watch it on the big screen with full surround sound, so I guess the important stuff is in place. :) I've even got a few pictures to tantalize you all into coming. I'm sorry that the pictures look horrible, it's still pretty dark down there and I'm a crummy photographer. Nonetheless, you can bask in the glory of our basement here.
While getting those pictures ready to go online, I found pictures from Christmas that I had forgotten I had, entirely. I've got some of the ladies (Liz, Mardi, and 'lil Red) making Christmas cookies at our place and some more of X-Mas at my mom's place. Yeah, so the pictures at my mom's are mostly just Gavin and his obsession with Post-it notes and Dora the Explorer, but you get what you get. You can check those out here.
So that's pretty much what I wanted to get done - get those pics out on the Net and, since I've been working on it for some time now and have finally accomplished it, I'm going to sign off now. Have a good one, everyone.
