February Blahs

I haven't complained about the weather in a while (OK, maybe a week or so), so here's a snapshot of the current conditions:

At least the sun is (sort of) peeking out right now, after a dreary week. And I have a lot of indoor work I can do since we shouldn't go out, such as writing a paper for grad school, cleaning, riding my bike, and maybe tackling some of the clutter in the basement and workshop.

And tonight - fun! The local Babies R Us/Toys R Us is having a "VIP Shopping Event" for my employer (this is when it pays off to be employed by a major institution that local businesses like to woo) from 7-10 p.m. BRU is "rolling out the red carpet" and offering catered food and refreshments, giveaways, raffles and special discounts. So some girlfriends and I will be checking that out. Who needs the Oscars when we can have our own red carpet?! This BRU/TRU is rather small, so we'll see if it lives up to the hype.
