The end is nigh!!

I am sitting in my new, expensive condo watching the rain POUR DOWN wondering WHY THE HELL I CHOSE TO SETTLE IN CHICAGO!

Now granted, the city I left, Denver, was just slammed by a terrible snow storm (I'll tell you this since our affiliate in Denver, J, is apparently dead or drunk or hung over or something... are you now too good for this blog?!) so apparently there is no escaping the crappy weather right now.

But seriously! I haven't seen the sun in what feels like weeks. (Irony alert: I used to complain about too much sun in Denver... oh well!)

Last night, on my way home from one of my last-ever PM shifts, I got caught in a DOWNPOUR. At one point I was trying to avoid big puddles on the the sidewalk and went into the street (bad idea) and got caught in a flash flood! Seriously, I was ankle-deep in water. I had to put my shoes in the drier this morning (YES, D, I did and NO, D, the drier didn't break!) Now today... we are again in a freakin' flood watch.

For the record, I hate that drier and am looking for any excuse to get a new one. Dry away!

Just wanted to let you know, I'm not dead or drunk (really? Those were the two obvious situations I'd be in?)--I'm in Vegas for Rosie's bachelorette party. Was able to escape the Blizzard of Aught Nine (oh wait--we've already had TWO of those THIS YEAR...) and am now safe and sound in balmy Vegas.

I can't believe how much RAIN you're getting! This is what Al Gore SAID would happen! *scared. Abandoning car for a bicycle*
