6 inches is kids stuff

this is how my day started:

745am - i realize the heater on my car isn't working as i'm driving into work. i turn the fan all the way up. nothing happens.

755am - i get to mcdonalds to order a couple of breakfast sandwiches for me and my buddy. i get to work 5 minutes later and realize they gave me the wrong stuff. i was really looking forward to that sausage biscuit too. fuck.

8am - i try and walk into work through our parking lot that resembles a war zone right now. i nearly fall and hurt my side strainging to stay upright.

815am - i can't do anything until an error in our software program gets fixed.

9am - i realized i have to re-process every invoice i did yesterday due to an error in our program. roughly 1000 invoices. i'm not a happy girl.

12pm - my dad decides he's going to take himself to the doctor in the snow and ice, even though he can hardly walk on his own. there's nothing like being 400 miles away and feeling completely helpless.

1230pm - i get ahold of my oldest sister to try and get her to drive him. i never realized how 6 inches of snow in st. louis can simulate the end of the world. what do we have up here in madison? OH THATS RIGHT. 85 inches. i feel really bad for you if you think you can't get out of your driveway because of 6 inches. perhaps you should invest in a snow shovel.

1235pm - i start to think everyone who thinks praying for something will make it happen or not happen needs to get their head evaluated.

235pm - i give up and open my box of thin mints. 3 down, 17 more to go.

in any case, i'm looking forward to picking up some more stuff for the house tonight. our countertop is in, and we're planning on running over to American to pick up our stove. i can't believe how good the house is going to look when we're all done. we realized the other day after taking out the old cabinets, that they desperately need to be replaced. we picked out some beautiful cinnamon maple cabinets that are going to look amazing with our brazillian cherry wood floor. buying a fixer upper is the best thing we could've possibly done.

i can't wait for summer.
