Ice, Ice, Baby!

Good Morning from home once again this winter season!  I can normally handle snow, unless we get a blizzard.  However, ice is another story and I chose not to fight the ice because you will NEVER win against ice!  

I've been up since about 3:30am this morning due to waking up from a nightmare and then trying to get comfy again to fall back asleep.  Then around 4am a big thunderstorm came through which absolutely terrified my Keeley and I had to try and comfort her.  With the thunderstorm came ran which instantly froze to the streets here in St Louis.  Where I live, we got more rain which means more ice.  Thankfully we still have power, but it's still a pain. 

My plan for today is work from home until around noon when the temperatures start to warm up above freezing so that I can get into work safe and sound.  I am very thankful for being able to work from home when needed.  

How was your weekend?  Mine was pretty good.  Very lazy in fact!  

Friday night (Valentine's night) we did end up going out to dinner to Dewey's, but the place was PACKED!!  We reached Dewey's around 5:30pm and waited a good 40 minutes for a table.  We had a problem just getting to the seating hostess because there were at least 6 people blocking the walking area to get to her.  In fact she yelled out our name again and I yelled back, "Were over here and stuck behind these people who are blocking the path".  Probably pretty rude on my behalf, but what else was I suppose to do?  Once we were seated, we received excelled service and the food was good too!  We got home around 7:30pm and I was sleeping by 8:30pm.  

Saturday we spent the day mostly at home.  ABC Family was playing some fun "chick flick" movies so I spent a lot of the time on the couch.  Keeley has been attached to me all weekend long.  Anytime I was lying on the couch, she was lying on my legs and getting comfy. The only time we both got out of the house was to let my mom's dogs out while they were in Columbia visiting my brother Jack. We live a thrilling life, what can I tell you.

Sunday wasn't much better.  I did get up and make Andy the cookies that he has been asking for, M&M cookies.  He's been asking for about a month for these cookies and I finally got to making them for him.  I then went over to my brother's house where my mom was watching Jackson and Claire.  Andy and I then went over to his parent's house for dinner.  We found out that his sister, Kelly is engaged.  Her boyfriend, now fiancé proposed on Valentine's day.  So congratulations to them!
