yesterday was fun and exciting... today is sure to bring cabin fever.

the snow has transitioned into freezing rain. something i had never seen until i came to the northwest... liquid falls out of the sky only to freeze upon contact with the ground. it generally brings fallen branches, downed power lines, and other generally awful surprises. one dear friend wasn't even able to get out of her front door this morning.

i haven't even ventured outside of the house yet today - but i'm tempted to make the six block trek to coffee, the grocery store, and hollywood video. but i'll be pissed if i get there and it's closed.

the big guy didn't have to go to work last night, and so we had a fabulous and complete snow day yesterday. i began the day chatting with multiple geeks about the macworld keynote as it unfolded (more on that later, perhaps). a bit later in the afternoon tbg's little brother picked us up in his chevy tahoe, and we did cookies in the parking lot of oaks park, our friendly neighborhood amusement park. (just a few blocks away). then we feasted on cornish hens and stuffing and canned green beans (!), popped a ridiculously expensive bottle of champagne, and watched bad tv by the fire.

today may bring more cooking out of sheer boredom. how are you?
