Funny Story
Yesterday I got home from work and my phone rang. I glance at my caller id and think it had the area code of 773 which is my friend Michelle. Well, it really had the area code of 775. Anyhoo, I pick up the phone thinking that it’s her and I say, “J-Lo” instead of hello cause I’m funny like that sometimes. So this guy on the other end is all confused and then just says hello and starts his spiel on the presidential campaign. He asks me who I’m going to vote for in the upcoming Pennsylvania Primary. I say Barack Obama. He says, “Thank you. This phone call has been paid for by Hillary Clinton.” Ha! The whole thing from start to finish cracked me up.

The Big Blizzard of 2008
Good thing Mommy bought me a sled!!! It has snowed more in Cleveland, than in Moscow lately. I'm sure when the kid is older he is going to wonder why in the hell he couldn't be adopted by a family in Florida. You can almost see the street sign to the left in the picture, if you look real hard.
We didn't leave the house all weekend. We got a total of 22 inches and the wind was wicked. Michael spent a couple of hours shoveling our drive and I couldn't even open the back door to get outside. Thank God our neighbors have snow blowers. Maybe I should buy Michael one for his birthday????
Dima loved watching the birds from our living room window. It is a good thing Dima's birthday party wasn't this past weekend. It would have been more of a pity party, with no guests.
The snow kept coming all night and I could barely see my truck. We went in shortly after this. It was way too windy for Dima and the kid could hardly move in this stuff.

Dima's 2nd B-day
Beep! Beep! We love our new riding toy...that we got for our birthday. The horn is hilarious. It sounds just like the police cars in Russia. He should feel right at home with this toy. 
It is a good thing we remodeled the basement. Where would we put all these toys??? We can't wait for summer....when we can actually leave the basement.
Mmmmm!!! This cake stuff is pretty yummy. I am almost sorry we introduced him to the smash cake. Now, all he wants to do is smash and throw all his food. This coming from a kid who would freak out when he had anything on his fingers.

Chicago Review
I'm back! So, I'm a little late to post this but better late than never. :-) Where to begin? Well, I guess I could start by saying that I had fun but it was probably not the best weekend to go. My co-worker Maggie who went with me wasn't feeling well at work on Thursday before we left. But she told herself she would fight it and wouldn't get sick. Well apparently the evil flu virus didn't feel the same way. It took her down like a Mack truck. She went to bed on Thursday night and basically didn't leave it until Sunday afternoon. I swear she slept for 47 out of 48 hours. No joke. Although I did find it kind of comical to fly to Chicago just to sleep at someone else's house. ha! Not so much of a vacation for her I suppose.
Anyway, it also ends up that Michelle's husband Tony had to work the whole weekend too so I only got to hang out with him for a little bit on Saturday and Sunday nights. AND some friends we were supposed to go out with on Sat. cancelled because one of them had to work late. Geez! The weekend was a bust! Oh well, it was still nice to get out of the Burgh for a bit and I am proud to say that I have reached pro bowler status on Michelle & Tony's Nintendo Wii (8 strikes in a row thank you) AND my wii fitness age is 24!!! For those of you in the know......that is wicked good! Speaking of Wicked....the musical was awesome! I highly recommend it.
Finally, I did get to stop over to see Alex's place and meet some of his roommates on Sunday. Their place is awesome! It's ginormous and right by the lake too. Can't beat it. Here are the only pictures I took all weekend and they were with my cell phone camera. I didn't want to lug the fancy camera there and I no longer have a point and shoot small camera. I guess I know what to ask Santa for this year.
