Mom!!

Mom, I can't thank you enough for the dedication, generosity, endless kindnesses and love you have shown us. For over 30 years you have unselfishly given your time, energy and love to help us become the people we are today. You and dad are tremendous role models and I'm so thankful for you both.

Snow Again!

James arrived just ahead of 'Snowmaggedon' and 'Blizzard 2010' that hit Northern VA last week. The first storm began Friday and dumped two feet of snow (30 inches in Baltimore!) here. The storm waned on Sunday but the roads, etc. were a disaster. James and I had a touch of cabin fever and had to get out everyday, at least for walks through the drifts. Thankfully there are a few restaurants nearby and most, if open, were filled with the festive "we are in this together" feeling.

The second storm hit on Tues and lasted until Wed. night. It was a true blizzard - we probably got 8-12 inches but it was hard to say because of the wind and drifts.

The Feds were closed Mon-Thurs and a two hour delay on Friday. By Friday I was most anxious to get out and back to work.

Again Snow

Seems like I only have time to blog when its snowing out. We are having a beautiful snowfall today and I'm enjoying the time inside.
Plan is to prepare my apt. for my brother's arrival - Feb 4!!! - and then have some dinner and maybe a movie with the bf
