Blah! It's still winter :o(

I'm back from my vacation to California. I had a great time even though the weather wasn't all "that"..it was usually in the upper 50's and there was some rain, but there was NO SNOW (well, except in the mountains, but that was pretty marshmallow fluff snow). When I came back on my late, late flight to Minneapolis, it was snowing and my car was buried under about 12" of snow. I slogged around it in tennis shoes with snow up to my knees trying to brush the snow off with a small scrapre/brush. Then the car was stuck in the parking spot and someone had to push me out. Yep, it's still winter in Minnesnowta. Hatin' it.

I did see a lot of California, spent a lot of time at the ocean front. I love the water and hearing the waves crash against the rocks. Went to Tahoe and the breath taking scenery there was amazing. Went to the original Fenton's in Oakland (where the final scene in the movie "Up" takes place - where they are sitting on the curb outside the ice cream shop). Did a ton of fun stuff and hung with a bunch of fun people (my family and friends).

But now it's back to the real world. Had to bring my car in today for the repairs after my little spin out that took place right before I left for vacation. And I just filed my taxes online. That's a good feeling, and hopefully the money will come quickly! I am trying my best to get the pictures from California loaded and posted, but as usual, my system isn't being cooperative. I hate technology!

Tomorrow is a VERY special day - my baby turns 28. I can't hardly believe it's been that long. She still feels like a little kid to me, although I know she is a wonderful grown woman. Where does time go? And why does it have to go so fast? Anyway, happy birthday to my lil sweetie pie. You are the light of my life!!

Now if only winter would move along so fast!!
