Note to self: Seattle shuts down when snowing

Besides the Monday Night Football game that started during rush hour, there was also a snow/sleet storm that started promptly at 5pm. When I found out that my ticket for the Seahawks game was not in suite, I decided not to go. I know, I’m a snob, but I wasn’t dressed for it at all! Turns out I would have been better off at the game and avoiding the traffic. It never snows in Seattle and apparently when it does, it’s a real mess. You won’t get sympathy from me. After spending 5 years at the end of the earth (aka Houghton) and snow from October to mid April, I’m ok with getting 1 inch and my world doesn’t shut down.

In other notes, Thanksgiving went off without a hitch and it was the most fantastic meal ever! We had a good time and played games until 11pm or so, even though we were in a monster food coma. We’re finally done with the leftovers and I made a huge batch of turkey salad (with grapes) to get us through the week. Needless to say, I’m on a diet.

The rest of the weekend was wonderful. I started decorating for Christmas and we also spent a lot of time cleaning up the baseboard trim and laying down new quarter round. You don’t think that is a very time consuming job, but it took forever! It looks great now though and Rob is so glad we did it. So I guess that is all that matters.
