17 inches of snow, at least half of which happened while I was at work. I was snowed in there for about 28 hours, then had to stay at Mom's until I had a day off to shovel out parking at home. Now, I'm back home, and unsnowed out, as it were, but I'm not sure if I'm glad or not. I really need a job and apartment, preferably out of Lafayette.
So sad, the last week or so... and now my friend has gone to Mississippi indefinitely, taking her adorable freckles and irreplaceable companionship from me :( Now, I don't blame her, 'cause I know her family needs her more, I just miss her.
So confused. I haven't met any new people on OkCupid, but one guy I thought was gone and another who freaked when I mentioned a second date reappeared, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I do know that I'm sad to have lost touch with a third though, and hope that changes in the near future.
ON THE HAPPIER SIDE:
So amazed, by this artist and project. A very nice range of subjects, and statements.
So tempted - Don't you want to see Kris in a Wicked Weasel Bikini? Donate here :)
(Props to Dean for the idea, and Doug for the photo post. $14.50 to go, as of Dean's last update)
(Speaking of seeing scantily clad women, I'm still hoping to see SxKitten in the Global O Thong, hint, hint)

Hey there, nice site! Just saw you through growabrain.
Hi,
I come to your blog by way of Erin O'Brien's, and your winter picture brought back memories of being snowed in myself in Cleveland, some of which you can see here.
I live in LA now, but even we had a little snow in the higher elevations a couple of months ago. What a wacky winter it's been!
Nice job on the blog, and I plan on stopping by often.
Take care,
Hal
