Dec '07 - "The Great Christmas Snow of December 2007"

yes...it is true! we portlanders had a white christmas!!! well....okay, not REALLY a white christmas, but it darn sure tried!! and i almost blissfully slept through the entire thing!! (tragic, i know) this is how it happened:

i'm on a stretch of night shifts for the holidays (better pay!! woot woot) and i got off work at 730am christmas morning! however, sadly for me...i was supposed to go back to work at 3pm christmas afternoon. but...due to the fact that not many people are crazy at christmas (hehe, right!) i got cut from that shift! too many staff, not enough kids...yea! crystal gets to sleep in!!!!!!!!!!!

anyway, the charge nurse called and woke me up at about 100pm to tell me that i did NOT have to come to work at 3pm. and as i, in my bleary eyed, foggy brained state of toasty warmness in my bed mumbled "thanks", she went on to very cheerily tell me that it was snowing and did i know that, and wasn't it very exciting!?!?!?!

...um, yeah, sure....i just got off work at 730am and was supposed to return to work a mere 7 hours later in order to work a 16 hour shift...but absolutely, i was WIDE awake just waiting to count the flakes of snow falling on christmas in portland!! i swear they forget that i recently came from living in alaska!! you know, where EVERY christmas has snow! so...not a big deal! anywho...since she had woken me and made me have an actual conversation, i decided to get up and see what the fuss was about. see below pics!









*insert sarcastic tone* oh boy am i glad that i dragged myself out of my toasty warmness to witness THAT miracle of christmas!! portland snow!!! LOLOLOLOLOL
