Snow Update

Now the city is at a level 2 emergency because of the snow that smack the eastern region silly.

Cabin fever and winter boredom...

I had some really great pics of the snow that seemed to have dropped on the city since Wednesday morning, and froze over. For now, you can all enjoy the boredom/cabin fever shots instead of my aunt's christmas gift that I wrapped earlier today.

The city was in a level 3 emergency all day, which basically means if you don't have an emergency to begin with, you shouldn't be out on the roads. They were that bad.

On Wednesday afternoon, while my Mom and I were out shopping for some snacks to last the weekend, we saw three 18-wheelers get stuck in the snow. They had either cut off, or was stuck in the ice and slush. It's intersting to see how a natural cause like a snowstorm can take out a large vehicle like an 18 wheeler. Plus, it kept my mind off of how all the buses were running off schedule. It took my Mom and I an extra 2 hours to get home with all the routes running off schedule.

To back track for a second, the original set of pics got erased from my digital camera - probably from human error. I've been in the house all day today, except for the 30 minutes I spent outside helping my Mom shovel snow. I spent the rest of the day on an extreme lounging bit, enjoyed a few visitors (since everyone stayed at home just about), just watching television and actually doing some housework. With all of this newly found free time on my hands since graduating almost two weeks ago (wow!) I've had time to catch up on leisurely and lazy activities, like watching cable, dvd's, crocheting, and messing around with this camera my Aunt and Uncle gave me as a grad gift. I'm really upset about those snow pics being erased, but I'm pretty sure that the snow will remain until tomorrow.

With this free time inbetween finding a job and just being a homebody I'll actually have time to blog, even if its in photos. I'm done with Christmas shopping, just waiting for the after Christmas sales to begin. Should make a SD memory card for the camera the priority purchase, even if its on Christmas Eve. I'm not much of a fan of cabin fever. I rather be out and about anyways. Sometimes I feel like the Postal Service: through rain, sleet, or snow - I always find somewhere to go...

Okay, I know the boredom has kicked in if I'm rhyming on a blog entry!

A pic of the bow with the flash on, that's why it looks so shiny and plastic. 

A closeup of the basket with its plastic like wrap. Looks weird from this angle. 

A pic of the entire basket. Forgot to mention its a coffee themed basket with two mugs, some creamer, vanilla syrup, sugar, and of course some coffee. :) 

This one is a (blurry) close up of the basket. 

Fun with my new digital camera. These are a few pics of the gift basket I made for my aunt for Christmas.
