SNOW DAY!!!!!!!!

Thank you snowpocalypse of '010- you have finally provided me with an honest to goodness snow day! The celebration actually started last night because we knew we could stay up late and we watched Emma from masterpiece theater, taking a short break around midnight to make snow angels.

This morning started with a chocolate chip waffle breakfast. Here's Collete waiting patiently to eat her food.

Then we took a clean room/do homework break and reconvened at 1:30 to build a snowman- a must for any snowday. Collette again, this time rolling up the snowman's head.

Then there's me rolling part of the snowman body, it got pretty heavy.
I needed some help lifting it up.
And the end result- Myrtle and Milton of the Marvin Family, shown here with Louise and Collette.
And the snowday is only half over!!!!

Snow Angels

Louise and I made snow angels last night ;)

The snowpocalypse of '010 is decending, (on a weekend, but the university is closing at 12:30 today) and instead of locking myself safely away at home, I'm going up to Gettysburg and going skiing. I never thought I'd ski powder on the east coast, so I'm pretty excited.

I made a playlist for the drive, so I thought I'd share.

broken record?

I know I've been complaining about this all winter, but it's just starting to get rediculous. We got a bit of a snowstorm last night- not enough to close the school down though, just open a bit late at 10 am. Shouldn't that mean that I get to snooze a bit longer in my super cozy bed? NO!

Today we had a phone conference that my boss didn't want to reschedule. Well, guess what- the boss lives on campus while I live a half hour away. To be fair, it really wasn't hard at all to get into work today. The Utahn in me laughs at the terror the mention of snow strikes in the hearts of the majority of the population here. But that's not the point, the point is that I have yet to get a real snow day.

Snow is in the forecast, but once again, for the weekend.

On a snow day.....

A nice thing to do is go to work, especially when snow days end up on Saturdays. Seriously, I can't catch a break with the snow.

Also a nice thing to do is to drive around for most of the day shopping for upholstery tools. And then the best part of the day is going to a delicious Vietnamese restaurant and have your Latino waiter hit on you. Luckily he has Louise's phone number now instead of mine ;) hehehe
