Read below for the story behind this picture
I started the following post over the weekend and never finished it; work was hectic thus far, but I decided to finish it up now.
It snowed on and off Friday night and into Saturday, and even Saturday evening some snow came down.
Friday after work I picked up kids at their Mom's dropped Scott of here and then after Danielle got some additional things she needed dropped her off at her friend Justine's house when she was spending the night.
I got back here around 3:30, Scott and I played the Simpson's game for a few hours on the xbox 360; it was great and the first time we have played a video game together in at least a year maybe more. It was most enjoyable. Around 6:30 PM we headed out as he wanted to pickup a rental game for the Wii. I called in an order for take out at First Wok and we headed out (we ended up hitting two rental places which did not have the game he wanted :( )
We watched a scrubs while eating and passed the remained of the evening watching TV and playing video games together or separately.
Saturday I awoke to snow. I had gone to bed around 2AM (I love staying up late on the weekends) and had languished in bed until around 9AM. I pplayed some of the Simmons game until around 11 and I went out to snow blow. Scott was up when I got in and we headed out to pickup Danielle at her friends. After chatting with Justine's Dad and step-mom we haded over to Blockbuster. They had Scott's game though it took 20 minutes for them to find the only copy....but at least they found it. We headed back home stopping for lunch at Wendy's.
Glad to be in the house because it was cold and dreary outside, the day passed playing video games, working on the computer, and then watching the new computer animated "Garfield Gets Real" on DVD which we had picked up with Scott's game. We were going to get "Dragon Wars" but then Scott found the Garfield movies and since the three of us love Garfield we snagged that instead.
It was very good though non of the voices from the previous two movies were present, but we still enjoyed it.
Sunday - Again, up a nine and typing this blog post. Scott and Danielle are still asleep. It is NOT snowing and the temperature is 33! This is the first time in about 10 days it has been above freezing! Whooo hooooO!
In fact, as I continue the entry from Sunday I';; reflect that the temp actually hit the low 40's and the snow began to slowly melt.
I played some more of the Simpson's game with Scott but was distressed when my save game was corrupt and I could not continue from my save point. We did nothing Major Sunday other than me starting a long term filing project. In my house I have a roll top desk I picked up before the C and I married and I retain it to this day. There is a nice laptop under the top with a photo dye transfer printer, the idea being I would be able to retreat to the bedroom if the kids had friends over or were using the living room, and watch TV or do some web surfing, etc. Well, there is so much assorted paperwork on top of the old laptop you can barely close the roll top, and this has also spilled over into the kitchen into two double doored cabinets pushing into the spaces reserved for pots, pans, dishes, and the like.
So, finally I said enough is enough and I ordered a four drawer file cabinet (shown above) that will go in my bedroom closest (which is one of those double wide deals). I got a nice cherry wood finish one so if someday it comes out of the closet it will not be some ugly chunk of medal.
Anyway Sunday after an e-bike ride and shower I started taking piles of papers from one of those kitchen cabinets and putting them into folders with labels on them in preparation for the arrival of the file cabinet.
So, that and some laundry were the big events of the day.

Enjoy your filing!
I have two filing cabinets here and one at home. The trick, as I am certain you know, is labeling folders so that you can quickly find what you seek.
I need to re-organize my files.
