Keychains and snowstorms, the taste of your sweat...

Okay, so all week long, we've been hearing about this snowstorm coming our way this weekend. We were gonna get a foot of snow. Then we were gonna get less, but with some ice and sleet and stuff. And then just 1-3 inches of the icey stuff and snow later. But no one really knew.

I do not like driving in snow, and it's almost impossible to actually drive in icey stuff. SO I decided since I had to work today, I'd get to work early and get home before it all started in the morning (or late morning, or 1:00 pm, or later...they didn't say the same thing twice).

SO, somehow this morning, I got my fat ass up and out of bed at 4:30 am. I dropped a bill off in the mailbox, got some OJ and a breakfast sandwich from a convience store (cause not even McDonald's had breakfast at that early hour) and got to work. I got there by 5:30, much to astonishment of my co-workers...and frankly myself. And I was kinda busy all day, which is strange for a Saturday, but okay. I left at 1:30, thankful that I beat the bad weather and arrived home safely.

I figured once the bad stuff started I wouldn't want to go out of the house, so i went directly over to mom's, just to say hi. and talk to her a bit and stuff. And then we went to my grandma's house to put the plastic over the outside furniture she has on her patio. And we came back and I sat there and talked with mom for a bit, returning home here about 5:30pm.

And now, here it is, 8:45 pm, and looking out the window, I see...nothing! No snow, sleet, freezing rain, ice, rain, nothing! I suppose it passed up by!!!

Christ, I could have gotten a few more hours sleep...how much does it SUCK that I got up that early for NOTHING?!?!?!?!?

UPDATE: It's not 10:15, and it's been sleeting/raining/icing/whatever for about a half hour. It's kinda crappy looking outside, but at least it's not a foot of snow. Course, I still didn't have to get up as early as I did!
