Stop snowing!

Damnit, it's snowing again! The novelty's wearing off now, mostly because this is the third time in a week that the white stuff's fallen out of the sky. And I'm bitter because I didn't get to work early enough to snag one of the covered parking spots so I'll have to clean off my car before I can drive home tonight...grrr. I'm spoiled by the garage we have at home; it's so nice to be able to just leave in the morning and not have to deal with scraping the car first. But, I have to admit, it does look pretty on the trees and it's pretty peaceful to watch the flakes drop from the warm coziness of being indoors. It's the remembering that you have to drive in it later part that sucks :P

Tomorrow is my mom's 60th birthday and my sisters and I are throwing her a big birthday party at a function hall near their house. There are about 50 people coming and it should be fun, but I'm a little stressed about making sure everything looks nice and having it go off well. Then right after that I'll have to really start dealing with details for hosting Christmas at our house this year. I have no idea what I'm cooking, but I admitted to my weaknesses early and asked every family to bring one dish each so I'm not flying solo on providing eats. Besides cooking I still need to finish wrapping gifts (and maybe doing a bit more buying of gifts), clean the house, make sure our walkways are clear so someone doesn't slip and fall on Christmas day...ack, I don't want to think about it anymore. Let me get through the birthday party tomorrow first before I tackle the next one!
