Another weekend is over, and another work week is upon us. This, like every weekend, went by way too fast. I feel like I just left work on Friday evening moments ago. This Valentines day was fairly uneventful, which is completely okay by me. Hopefully it was equally okay with my lovely wife.
This past week has been described by several terms including "snowpocalypse" and "snow-mageddon". The northeast saw 50+ inches of snow coming in a chain of storms over the last several days. The federal government was shut down Monday through Friday this past week, at an estimated per-day cost in lost productivity of $100 miillion. Late in the week a storm shut down our operations in the Dallas area. They saw more snow than they have seen in years all along the southern US. Save Hawaii, every state had snow on the ground at one point last week. That is pretty impressive. Ironically as the winter Olymics kicked off in Vancouver, they were dealing with warm temps and rain; putting a major damper on the outdoor events.
Another major event that highlighted this past week was the creation of my custom-made argyle snuggie. Amanda has been on a sewing kick and has been pumping out the snuggies. I am sure I will post a picture of me in my snuggie at some point. It still isn't 100% complete. Amanda still needs to attach the custom pockets to hold my cell phone and ipod. When it is finished I will add a picture to this post.
That is about all I have for this week. Didn't have much to say about the most recent LOST episode; not enough to justify a post anyway. There is another new episode this week that focuses on Locke that I am definitely looking forward to. Hope y'all have a good week, I will try to check in again soon.
