I was so worried that X-Mas would bring misery. I thought for sure this terrible string of bad luck would culminate on the biggest day of the year. Granted, X-Mas didn’t go exactly the way I wanted, but it could have been a lot worse.
We experienced Blizzard 2009 here in the Midwest. What made travel impossible was the fact that the blizzard remains from two weeks ago were still lingering. So I believe we got 12-14 inches on top of 8 inches of snow, not to mention the drifts. I saw some drifts over five feet high. What this means my little interested blog-lovers; I couldn’t get to work on Friday or Saturday. I missed out on the busiest days of the year at the theatre.
At first I thought they would have to close the theatre on X-Mas, but apparently the district manager said no. But if you think about it, that is a movie theatre’s largest fiscal day, they can’t close unless it is the last resort. And I heard that families came out in their big SUV’s. That’s so smart right? “I believe I will endanger my family’s lives to go see It’s Complicated!”
I was spoiled for Christmas. I got to eat prime rib, play monopoly (which my dad hustled me at) and play online poker with my dad and brother. I got an SD card for my camcorder, new ram for my computer, loads of gift cards and a new winter coat. Then I woke up the next day and couldn’t get to work either.
Unfortunately my boyfriend got trapped at his house because the plows do such a lousy job in his neighborhood. And once they plow one lane, which I assume is supposed to be for emergency vehicles, they just leave it! Going up a blind curve hill in one lane is awesome fun!
Really what I thought would be terrible turned out to be pretty okay. My mom was confused for some of the day about my brother and my gifts not being wrapped and being somewhere in the house though. And later she asked where my son was…I think she meant where my boyfriend was. Sometimes he’s my husband and now sometimes he’s my son I guess.
It’s the Final Countdown! 4 days left.
