Eight, Seven, Six More Days

yeah so i kind of dropped the ball.  the last couple of days were a bit challenging time-wise and it's only today that i've found a moment to write.  wednesday night i had a big ass final lab exam and then one more lecture so i didn't get home until late .  while ms. mafia was drinking chocolatinis after her econ final, i was sitting in class learning about recombinant DNA.  yes, everyone else and their mother is done with classes but i have one more final next week. i have  never had so many tests for one class in my life.   it's been crazy.

yesterday, while caro was getting all excited i was stuck in snowy traffic for 4 hours like these two and when i finally made it home, i passed out in a crumpled heap.   talk about nerve-wracking.  people were pretty well-behaved though.  except for the asshat who rode my ass for at least an hour (about 2 miles) along the mass pike.  that is until he finally passed me and then had the nerve to give me the hairy eyeball because i thought it might be smart to have at least 2 car lengths between me and the guy in front of me.  CRAZY i know.   and can i just say how proud i am of my little mini?  she even managed to climb the hill to my house with nary a complaint!  i may have kissed her snow-covered roof when i made it safely home. 

so that's what i've been up to for the past two days. 

good times.

Dude, sorry to hear that. I cancelled all my PM meetings and stayed home cause I suck at winter driving.

Good luck with your finals. I just finished up yesterday afternoon...and be careful driving in the ice!

Good luck with the upcoming final. I'm sure you will do great.
That little mini of yours – sure is cute. I'm glad to hear you made it safely home on Thursday. What a mess traffic was. Glad my commute is easy :)

Glad your mini made it through the snowstorm. What did all those poor women commuters do what had to pee??? Good luck with last final.

Don't get too fresh with your Mini in this weather - your tongue could freeze to her!

Playing count down catch-up I see :-) Glad your semester is almost over with.2 finals seems kind of cruel! Got to love Terry and her wise-ass remarks :-)

Recombinant DNA? Yeah, we should have been studying together this week... Good luck with that last one! At least it will give you another reason to celebrate your birthday, right? What's up next semester?

I'm free next Weds night. Where will you be celebrating? One final exam sucks, two is grounds for homicide.

Busted. I was totally drinking chocolatinis after the test. I even instructed the bartender -exactly- how to make them. He was annoyed at me ... until I took a sip and in honest surprise said, "oh my god. this is better than I make at home! what did you do?" He even did the fist pump. It was a moment. Then four of my classmates ordered the same drink and tipped him well. I think the bartender loves me now. ;-)

So ... where should I meet you after your last final? And what should fill the flask? Beer? Apple juice? Wine? Hard cider? Margarita (which is what the flask held during my wedding (red flag, much?)? Say the word and I'm there.
