After spending much time inside during last week’s snowstorm, we were ready to get out of the house. So we headed to Zona Rosa for a little outdoor shopping. I figured everyone else would have the same idea, but I guess it was still too cold out.

I love my job; yesterday we had a Super Bowl party & chili cook-off for lunch. One of the craftiest ladies at work, Christy, showed us up once again. She made this extravagant cake, complete with frosted Packers, Steelers, and referees.

Yes, there’s a negative in front of that 2. In fact, reports around the area showed temperatures around -15 to -20 with the wind chills yesterday morning. And yes, it was only 63 degrees inside, too.

The sun is a beautiful thing, especially after a blizzard! Despite the cold, it was certainly a welcome sight yesterday morning.

Yesterday was definitely a blizzard, just as the meteorologists predicted. The snow was blowing so hard it drifted a couple feet tall into the hallways between apartment buildings, and by the time it was over, it practically buried some of the parked cars.

The media is calling it “Blizzard 2011,” and they claim it’s coming in three parts. Yesterday was the freezing rain, today is the massive amounts of snowfall and wind, and the next couple of days are the frigid temperatures. Here is an account of small ice accumulation from yesterday’s rain.

Yesterday we hung out with our friends Mandy and David and their dog Dexter. They made us some tasty lunch and incredible dessert, and Dexter provided the entertainment. After a couple of hours he finally got tired out and relaxed with David … who I’ve been told is his favorite.

Sometimes we need to go back to simpler days by doing something as innocent as coloring or painting. We spent yesterday in Topeka doing just that at Potwin Pottery. I think all three of the adults had just as much fun as my seven-year-old nephew!

This is a typical day for me at work. I’m usually the first to arrive in the parking lot and the last to leave. I’d love to brag that I’m a workaholic, but it’s actually because I go to the nearby Y after work. I’m just glad to see a little sunlight now that the days are getting longer!

There was a gorgeous sunrise yesterday morning. Unfortunately, I was driving to work with no time or place to stop and take a photo. My office is on the west side of downtown, so it’s hard to see the sun rise once I arrive. However, if I look past the ugly concrete building that obstructs 90% of my view, I can see the river. People would pay big bucks for a view like this in NYC!
