snow!!!

it snowed last night! hooray! it's funny though. like yeah it snowed maybe 6 inches or so, which yes is a lot at once. but it was done snowing by like 10 pm or so. which in minnesota, would be plenty of time for the roads to be nicely plowed by morning. but no. not in ohio. i think every single school around was cancelled for the day. even the air force base had a 2 hour delay. and when i went out at like 11 this morning, some roads were decent. but others were still full of snow and you could only go like 30 mph. and it's not like they were just side streeets to nowhere - they were pretty main roads. plus they don't know how to sand here. i think i saw one road that was sanded. everywhere else had no sand. which was not cool when i'm exiting off of the freeway and the exit ramp is plowed yes, sanded no, and quite slick. (you know how when people drive on snow before it's plowed it makes a nice slippery crusty layer of snow that the plows typically don't get, but then it's slippery to drive on) so yeah. lots of fun. but anyways. i'm just so excited we actually have snow. hooray! although it will probably be melted within a week or so i'd bet. who knows though.
so i spent the afternoon putting plastic on our windows. our windows suck because they are impossible to shut correctly so they are never quite sealed. so i'm hoping the plastic will help with drafts and the gas bill over the winter....

let's see. our whole christmas plans have changed now. adam got called to get his lasik surgery done on december 21st. he'd have to stay with in like 2 hours of here for 7 days afterwards in case anything happened and for a follow up appt. so that means he can't go to minnesota for christmas. but if he didn' ttake it, he'd be put on the bottom of the list and have to wait another 2-8 months. which he really didn't want, since he's been waiting since july already. so now. he's having the surgery the 21st. we're going to his parents (in indiana) the 22nd. then i'm flying out of indianoplis to minneapolis on the 23rd. (which i really hope i make, because i have a layover in chicago, and the flight from there to msp was to the point where you can't reserve your seat, so i hope i'm not bumped or anything). so adam will stay with his parents then come back to ohio for his follow up on the 27th, go back to his parents. and then drive up to minnesota on the 28th. so pretty crappy that we won't be spending our first christmas togehter. but it's ok. plus then we're going to stay up there until the 5th i think, so i'll get some extra time at home now.

well i think i'm getting hungry and adam should be home soon, so i'm going to go start dinner. tacos! YUM YUM YUM!
