Denver is in the middle of a blizzard.  I left work at 11:45am and managed to get my car stuck about 5 feet in front of my driveway at 2:00pm. Fortunately my car was stuck in front my driveway were my neighbor and wife could help dig it out and push it into the driveway.  Lots are cars were stuck on the freeway and I'm afraid that anyone still working in downtown Denver will being working there all night and tomorrow or until they can be dug out.

Sheesh. Sounds like a big mess.

Guess it's lucky my luggage finally made it out of Denver last night. It really irks me though that my large suitcase got all ripped up though. Yep, I'll definitely be filing a damage claim. *grumble*

Sounds like the weather just keeps moving east. Which means it'll probably hit Illinois this weekend, which means I'll probably be spending the evening of Christmas Day in the airport, delayed because of bad weather. Here's hoping that *won't* be the case.

EDIT: Just checked the forecast, and Chicago's weather on Monday is supposed to be partly cloudy with a 10% chance of precipitation. Knock on wood that they're right. If I get bumped for anything, I want it to be because they've overbooked and they want to give me another free ticket!

It's still snowing. All of Denver is shut down. I hope that I can fly out of here tomorrow morning, but DIA may not be opening for a while.

NPR reported sometime this afternoon? Also, they said that somewhere in the airport there's a makeshift movie theater.

Our flights been cancelled and the earliest that we can fly out would be on Christmas morning.  Because the highways look clear, we are going to drive out to Utah today.

I get to have this ingrown toenail looked at today. Most likely get lanced out. Glad my buddy at work knew what it was when it started happening. Otherwise I might have just let it go and eventually something worse might have happened.

I've worked out every day this week. I must have done something wrong, though, because I just can't get up this morning. It's not my muscles. I feel like I've got the flu or something. Can't. Get. Up.

Lots and lots of laundry makes me grumpy. It's my own fault, for buying and wearing all of them, but still. Grumble, grumble, grumble.

I'm going to be like the cartoon characters and wear the same thing everyday.

Just a quick rant after several meetings today with wannabe artists.
[rant]
It's not my fault that you can't draw or paint or make wonderful designs!

Yes everyone wants a say in the concepts because that's the fun part. It doesn't mean that those who will actually be making the artwork want to be your slave to make all your visions a reality. Learn to paint your own visions and not make someone else spend days doing it.

Also, I hate control freaks.
