The Office.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I realize I'm behind.&amp;nbsp; Every other intelligent comedy connoisseur as been watching for two and half years.&amp;nbsp; I am never home on Thursday nights, however, and I don't have TiVo, so there you have it.&amp;nbsp; As summer presented a little free time, I ordered the first two seasons from Netflix and quickly found myself addicted.&amp;nbsp; I haven't watched Season Three, so please, no spoilers.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I share this with you so that I can show you what I found on my desk when I walked into my office a few weeks ago:&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://x78.xanga.com/9ead73e056631133234903/q97365220.jpg" title="click to choose"&gt;&lt;img src="http://xb4.xanga.com/c84d85e242c32133234877/q97365196.jpg" title="click to choose"&gt;

&lt;SPAN style="WIDTH: 0px"&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;I'm wrapping up Day Two of the Blizzard of 2006.&amp;nbsp; On Tuesday afternoon, my parents dropped me off at my friends' Lisa and Katie's house in Greeley.&amp;nbsp; The plan was to stay the night and then have Lisa bring me to my parents' house the next day (they live about 70 miles northeast of Greeley).&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When we woke up Wednesday morning, it was clear that I wasn't making it to my parents house.&amp;nbsp; My brother and sister-in-law (they live in Greeley as well) broke out the 4wheel drive and brought me over to their house.&amp;nbsp; We've been watching movies and shoveling snow.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;At about 5:30 this evening, we had fun with the Winter Solstice.&amp;nbsp; Did you know that during the solstice (both winter and summer) you can balance an egg on its end?&amp;nbsp; Well you can.&amp;nbsp; And here are the pictures to prove it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://photo.xanga.com/Amanda_J_Meadows/b53c496626077/photo.html" target=_blank&gt;&lt;IMG style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px;
