saturday...it was snowing and i decided that i was going to work. i pulled out of my garage, which is on a hill, and didn't go anywhere! to normal people that would be a sign that maybe they should turn around and go home, but not me because i am abnormally stubborn - the snow was not going to stop me! so i made it to work. throughout the ENTIRE day i watched the snow pour down. only 3 people made it into the office saturday, and they all has huge SUVs. needless to say, by the time it was time for me to leave work my car was completely buried in the snow!
so S called, (because by the way i let him win, he called and i answered) and suggested that his car worked fine in the snow and that he could come pick me up and take me to work in the morning. for some reason i agreed. of course, i woke up sunday morning to my boss telling me there was no need to come in. so, i was snowed in with S for two days! finally yesterday (monday) i decided i really needed to go home. his car was going no where, my car was (and still is) stuck in the parking lot at work.
how was i going to get home? and i HAD to get home, my brother and i planned to leave for my mom's around noon. which was completely besides the fact that i was NOT going to spend christmas with S, no way! so...i decided that i needed to ride the bus. so at 8:30 in the morning i set out! i walked down to the bus stop, which after standing there for 15 minutes in 20 degree weather i realized that it was the wrong one! waited for the bus for another 15, rode the bus. then got to the MAX station and missed the first one, waited 45 minutes for the next. rode the MAX, then walked 6 blocks to my condo. aahhh!! i was SO frozen! it sucked! though it was a terrible journey home, i have this great sense of accomplishment! i did it! i got home all by myself, in the snow!
after shoveling snow away from the garage (with cookie sheets) and what felt like off roading our way to the freeway (in my brother's tiny GTI) we finally got to the freeway and made it up north to my mom's. the normal 2 hour drive was a 5 hour drive and i thought i was going to die numerous times, but we made it!!
i hate the effing snow, it is ruining my life. i am now, once again, locked up in my mother's house. and my car is still in portland in the parking lot at work. for some reason i keep wondering if i locked my doors...
i spent 2 whole days with S and am not sure how i feel about it. we didn't talk about anything serious, which was nice but are we still off or are we on again? do i want to be on again? ugh, i think that may have been a huge mistake...
how i feel and my day....

Isn't this weather terrible!! Good thing I live farther south of Portland so it has been much warmer. I'm sure your car will be ok, it's not like its going anywhere! Was S a former bf of yours? sounds like there is some history there....Merry Christmas!
