blizzard!!

So the weather here in Portland has been insane! The snow won't stop, I thouhgt after saturdays storm and getting 10 inches of snow was enough. But no, it's still going strong. The buses are all jacked up in the timing and since I take the 1st bus to work for both the line 9 and 19 I end up waiting 45 minutes at each stop. It sucks hardcore! It took me 2 hrs! Yes 2 hrs., to get to work yesterday and after 40 minuets of waiting this morning I got fed up and called my boss, I told him if he wants me there at work to pick me up on the way in, since he has chains. I hate starting late, it makes my shift run into the production persons shift and the back of house gets so chaotic! Vince and I are still hoping we can make it down to Southern California, the only parts we might have issues with is going through the pass in Souther Oregon. We hope to be able to make it out of our drive way sometime this week so we can go to Les Schwab and get chains before we head down.

This is our balcony off our livingroom, Minnie was sooo intrigued by the snow. This was taken Saturday and since then there has been about 4-5 more inches added to this snow bed.

We went out Saturday night to check out the storm. While we were outside we found a kitty freezing under Vince's truck. We couldn't leave the poor kitty outside so we brought it in. He/she was meowing sooo much. We can't take him to the humane society yet since we're snowed in but I'm hoping once we do the cat has a micro-chip. I would love to keep it but he's obviously someones kitty, he smells like perfume or room freshener, like he has been living inside. That an Minnie would forever hate us if we brought in another cat, lol.

My snow angel. The snow was so much different when I was a kid. I loved it, we used to go sledding all the time! Now I'm sooo over it. It was fun and pretty the first day we got like 4-5 inches, and maybe living in a city thats used to this much snow it wouldn't be such a hassle but for now I'm not a huge fan of it.

The next few are from Saturday as well, I took a walk around the neighborhood taking random snow day pictures.

We want to check these places out, they are just down the street on Gladstone but we have yet to do so. Maybe in the next couple days we will go shoot some pool at Ship Ahoy and check it out. There really isn't a while lot more to do right nowsince we can't drive anywhere...

This picture is for Caden, it's kind of blurry but I was trying to take it quickly and trying not to miss it.

Burrrrr!

Gladstone and 28th Pl., I love this tree, it's so pretty.

Down on 28th pl. near Gladstone, covered garden beds... Poor frozen cabbage.

I love my boots! They are taking a beating in the snow, but they are my only shoes that keep my feet warm and dry =)

Walking down my street. The streets are kind of creepy, they remind me of 3o Days of Night, in the early morning and past 430pm when it's dark. Early in the mornings there is hardly any cars on the roads and no one else to been seen outside. By now you can no longer tell where the sidewalks are so anyone who is out walks the streets since the snow is more compacted and easier to walk on.

The bushes to the right of Vince's truck are now covered in snow, except for the very tips of them.
