We got just a little bit of snow last night and today (sarcasm). I'm not sure how much exactly, but I think it was around 18 inches. Needless to say, we both had a snow day. Let me clarify, we both got to stay home, but Jon had to work from home still (sucka!)...but at least he didn't have to drive across town. I, on the other hand gladly took my third day off (woohoo!) to lounge around and watch some daytime tv, start cooking dinner early, and to watch Gran Torino. Somewhere in there, we both took some time to dig our cars out of their parking spots also. Well, Jon had the better shovel, so he did most of the work. I took pictures :) I always have my priorities in order.

The big storm is a-comin! We went out today to buy ourselves new brush/scraper things (what are those things called?) They have come along way since I bought one last...which was probably at least 5 years ago. The ones we got have an extension on it! This is an amazing advancement for shorties like me.

Also, I've had off yesterday and today...and I am assuming we will have a snow day tomorrow. Woop Woop! 5 day weekend for me!! I am really counting on that snow day though, so it will be a rude awakening if it doesn't happen...

This was our first snowfall! It came rather late this year, which was fine by me! As I am typing this though, we are experiencing a winter weather advisory and are expecting major inches.

What a yucky day! I much prefer the rain to snow though - although, it did snow a little bit on Wed night - but nothing stuck. Wouldn't it be awesome if it only snowed like once this winter?? I would love that.

I was in Milwaukee all day (indoors) for work on St. Patty's day, and was not able to enjoy the weather until I got home. I promptly opened the door to let the fresh air into the apartment when I got home though! I love it.

We got more snow today. I'm depressed. More depressed that we aren't going to Florida next week to escape this crap though. We let the opportunity to get a flight to Orlando for $60 pass us bye a few weeks ago. WE ARE IDIOTS!

On the picture taking front: Woah. It was bright out today and I realized some things with the camera because of it. The bright sun paired with the white snow made a lot of my pics turn out looking overexposed with a blue tint to them. I did some research about it when I got inside and I think I figured out the problem. I'll prob go back out tomorrow and test it out.

This is gross, but awesome at the same time. I hate looking at it and can't imagine if someone pushed me into that mess (who would do that though? What made me even think it?)...but I am loving the warm spell.

This is out my work window again. I took this at the end of the day (around 4:45). I also took this one at the end of the day on January 5th. Look at how much lighter it is! Pretty exciting :)

*mr.sun*

The sun was blinding on Thursday morning as I was doing my morning ritual of scraping the frost off my car window. I wish blinding sun=80 degrees.

*coldest day of the year (thus far)*

My car wouldn't start today, so I stayed home. Here I am staring out into the frozen tundra before one of my last tries to get the car started.

p.s. I'm kind of obsessed with the lighting in this photo.

I had the idea to take one photo each day a few years ago, but for whatever reason, I didn't follow through with it. The idea came back to me though while reading life of a square(d) the other day...and I decided I'm doing it. My only fear is I go out of town and I forget my camera and the project is ruined.

I'm forgetful, this isn't far fetched.

Although, the only places I go out of town usually are Milwaukee and Green Bay...and my mom and dad and Gina both own cameras, so even then the project won't be ruined.

My goal is to post on every 5th day...and hopefully I get get more creative and there won't be an excess of self portraits). Here it goes:
