Wow, I don't even know why I haven't posted in so long. No reason, really, except for life.

It's snowed off and on since about Thursday. We really got dumped on yesterday. The kids didn't have school and my work was closed today. Here's a picture Anna took last night:


Well, that doesn't really do it justice but let's just say we have a shit-ton of snow. It almost covers the fire hydrant on our corner, and let me tell you that is a lot of snow for this area. I've lived here 20 years and have never seen so much snow.

And the highlight of my day? Was driving out to work this morning to discover that the tribe was closed. Somehow, some way, every other tribal employee knew. 300 + employees knew, and I didn't. Niiiiiice. It really just confirms that I'm screwed without my boss. It also brings all sorts of lame self-esteem issues up. Ultimately, it makes me feel totally unvalued and unworthy at the same time. I hate feeling lame and useless, but it's pretty easy for me to feel that way. I need to work on that, I guess.

I found out why I gained so much weight so quickly. My thyroid was all out of whack. So hopefully that is being fixed. We've been working out almost every night at the rec center, so that should help too. I'm so tired of being fat.

Unfortunately, the chicken-fried steak we cooked tonight probably won't help matters. It sure was good, though.


Let's see, what else. Conor's wrestling again this year. That started up a few weeks ago. Anna is applying for a school trip to Washington D. C. with her middle school. I really hope she gets to go. We're spending the weekend in Farmington, NM. I wishit were somewhere more exotic and warm, but it's about all we can afford.

I made colby cheese yesterday. It turned out really well, from what I can tell.

And because this is gonna already be a bitch to load, here's a super-cute picture of the best dog ever!
