Pizza, Hair Cut and A Snow Day

Another weekend that has come and gone which means only one thing: another two days closer to our trip. YEA!! Do you realize how excited we are? Three weeks from tonight we will be in Florida. It just seems like yesterday that I started the new countdown at 168 days. Now we are down to 20 days.

Friday after work we were both so tired that we just came home, ordered a pizza and hung around the house. I think we were in bed pretty early. (I don't remember really, so that must mean that we were asleep before 10pm) Saturday morning we got up and went and had breakfast and then went and got our hair done. I was so nervous. But it all turned out really well. I ended up getting about an inch taken off plus layers throughout my hair. It looks really good. (sorry..we forgot to taken recent pictures to post..and there is no way Laura is taking my picture now..I need a couple more days on working on getting it to look like it did when I walked out) Laura's hair is adoreable. You'll see when she will let me take her picture. :) After we got our haircut we went next door to Cheesecake Factory. I love that place, but their prices are outrageous. After that we were tired so we came home and took our usual weekend nap. We both LOVE taking naps in the afternoons on the weekends. There is nothing better then an afternoon nap on a gloomy day.

Saturday night Laura's parents picked us up and we went to the dog races. We had told her Mom that we would take her there for her b-day, which was in February. But with everything going on with the reception we are just now getting around to it. Laura and her Father did awesome. On one race Laura won $102 and on one race her Dad won $116. Not too bad. Laura loves the dog races so much more then the casion because at the casino you can loose $100+ in less then an hour. At the dog races you are there for 4 hours and you can win if you really know how to play. We sat in the "Kennel Club". It's a full sit down restaurant where you have perfect seats for the race. It was a lot of fun. But we always have fun when we are with her parents. They are some of the best people I have ever met.

This morning we woke up to the weather man saying we were in for a major snow storm. WTF? Just last Sunday we had something like 113 tornados hit Missouri. Now snow? So we got up and decided to get our grocery shopping done and get home. Once we got home we cleaned out our family room downstairs. Every two months the city of Kansas City does a "big item" pick-up. WE got rid of an old couch and a bunch of other shit that we will never use. It's nice having that room cleared out and ready to get to work on. Our goal is to turn it into our exercise room.

So here it is almost 10pm and so far we have only had rain. They are saying that we will have sleet most of the night and then it will turn into snow by mid morning tomorrow. Laura is praying like I have never seen her pray before for a snow day. You don't expect a snow day this late in the year. It's like an added bonus. My place of employment is pretty cool about bad weather as well. If it gets bad they always let us go early. So, let's all pray hard for a snow day for both me and Laura. They are saying we could get 4 inches. Since Kansas City doesn't know how to deal with any kind of weather, 4 inches would shut down schools and some businesses. SNOW DAY...SNOW DAY...SNOW DAY...SNOW DAY.....
