Still Busy!!

Well, still busy here. Today is a day off, and I think I finally get to NOT go into the store on my day off, knock on wood.

Let's see, highlights from the past few weeks....

Monday night we went to the VIP night at the Zoo. It was the premier of Electric Safari, where they light the zoo up with Christmas lights. It's tradition, we go every year. This year, we as patron members got to go to the VIP night. They gave us these “3-D” glasses that when you put them on and looked at lights, you either saw snowflakes or snowmen, depending on which glasses you have. They are pretty neat. Hubby and I enjoyed them while walking around.

We also fed the giraffes (of course) and they served drinks and munchies in Primate World. The munchies were very tasty, as usual. It was pretty cold out, but we managed to walk around and look at most of the animals.

Saturday it snowed all day. It made the roads pretty treacherous and icy. Monday was really slick. At my work alone we had one person get rear ended Sunday night, Sunday morning one person slid into a ditch and then on Monday morning another girl hit a curb and caused damage to her car!

Then it started to snow again yesterday afternoon. They were predicting major amounts of snow. However, when they predict that, it rarely comes true. Tradition continues. We only got an additional inch to 2 inches, maybe. That is on top of the 4-5” we got on Saturday. But the big news is the record low temperatures. Apparently we haven't had this low of temps in several years now. Today's predicted high is 6 degrees. According to weather.com, it's currently -1 and feels like -14... BRRR... Gee, I can't wait to see what the utility bill looks like next month.

My plans are to stay inside today as much as possible. I do have to take Bristol to the new training place we are going to go to, he has to be evaluated. Apparently they want to make sure he can do what I say he can do. Should be interesting.

Work still takes up a lot of my time. However with the snow, we have been slower. But somehow there is always still a lot of stuff to do!

Well, I am off to wrap up Christmas gifts, and finish Christmas cards and all that fun stuff.
