I am really fortunate that I didn’t have to drive anywhere today. Thankfully, I just walked to the Metra stop, which is quite close to our place. If I had to dig this guy out though… yeesh.

This morning, Liz was going to join Meg and Michelle for a purse-making class that ultimate got canceled due to the weather. Despite the cancellation though, I still decided to head out to run a few errands in the morning (getting some groceries, coffee, and breakfast).
Chicago Blizzard 2011: Aftermath
I was up super early this morning, and headed to the gym around 6AM. While I did shovel out my spot yesterday, I didn’t go so far as to claim dibs on the space by putting a chair or two to save it. I did it briefly, when I first moved to Chicago… but haven’t really done it ever since….
