but the party was so delightful.

Jim & Kevin's annual holiday party was tonight. The food was awesome! Especially the fig and mascarpone torte. Yummy. Not as many people as usual, due, I'm sure, to the heavy snow we've had today. It started about mid-afternoon, and is still coming down, along with blustery winds. They're saying 9-12", and with the winds and drifting, there are piles that deep already. I always walk over to J&K's, as it's just a couple of blocks away, and the walk back was definitely harder than the walk there.

And my friend Jamie is crazy! He lives out in DuPage County, about 45 miles away, and he drove in. He probably should have stayed home, but it wasn't so bad earlier. J&K told him last night that he could stay at their place if the weather was bad. (It's not like he'd be putting them out, either; their apartment is huge! And he had already arranged for someone to take care of his dog.) But, no, he decided to drive home. We left together and I did my best to get him to stay. At first he said he'd turn around and go back to the apartment, but then he said, no, he was going home. He's bigger than me, so I couldn't knock him down and drag him back. I hope he drives very, very carefully!

Tzurriz, if the weather's as bad in the south 'burbs as it is here by the lake, I really hope the munchkin doesn't decide to come tonight!
