**wacky WEDNESDAY weather!

yes, it is late january and we definitely have a "mixed bag" of winter weather here! it started as some flurries monday then got colder, then we had a little snow yesterday (2-3 inches), then late last night that turned into freezing rain, then sleet and now it is pouring! ugh...

i wasn't surprised my office wasn't closed (from what i hear they never will). it took me about 25 minutes to clear the 1/2" of ice from my car and then shovel my front & back steps and front sidewalk (all the while sliding and practically pulling a groin)! as a result, i have decided that i have already had my 30-40 minutes of cardio for the day!

i got to work around noon and decided to leave at 445pm, 45 minutes earlier than usual. i thought that would lessen the chances of being stuck on 695 in crazy traffic and that it would still be raining and i was correct! i even ran to the grocery store for my typical (12-14 items) and was home by 530.

so, to recap the b-day, it was another good one!! saturday was low key and dinner at the Helmand was awesome as usual!! i think this was my 4th time and i am never disappointed. meggy and i tried desperately to find parking in federal hill so that i could get a 'rita at blue agave but after 40 mintues of looking, i was over that! we ended in fells (hadn't been there in about 2 months). we had some drinks at the "claw", then went into "the horse you came in on". who knew that saturday it was the PLACE to be! a former co worker of mine from the bank moonlights there and i hadn't seen him in probably close to a year. the "band" (guy on bongo drums and lone guitarist) were a good time. they were rockin' the 80s jams so when you are 30, you know all the words!
