Snow Storm

Wednesday it was 67 out, all that has changed. The wind did its work. It blew and brought in storms from the southwest. It is 20 something out. Yesterday I got out of work about ten minutes early. These precious minutes were spent using my ice scraper as a pickaxe to break the thick layer of freezing rain off my windshield. Thankfully, I had a warm coat, hat, scarf, and gloves on to do the job as speedily as I could. Not so thankfully, I broke my poor scraper. Off I went on new tires [thanks Mom and Dad] down the highway home.

My two night classes were cancelled due to inclement weather and I was thankful. After I got home I had no desire to leave my apartment. The sleet and freezing rain did not let up until late that evening. When I woke up to go in to work today I stepped outside on a layer of sleet that looked like a thick blanket of snow. Upon inspecting the surroundings, keeping in mind the coming snow later in the morning, and noticing that my car was frozen shut [no, seriously, I tried to open it and still cannot], I called in to tell them I would be staying home from work. Back to bed I went and I didn't wake up until noon. Had I woken up earlier I may have considered braving the elements to work a half day. But my biological clock though forget that, you need to get better!

I spent the rest of the day lounging around on every piece of furniture in my apartment, sipping tea, watching Food Network and the Disney Channel, and baking cookies. I should have not baked those cookies, mostly because I had to use margarine [but partly because all weekend I'll have no one to share them with, no little brother to eat three fresh out of the oven]. Let's be honest, in baking there is NO exception to butter. Oh well, now I'm going to take a bath and climb into my warm bed because it hasn't even been 12 hours since we were together and we're good friends.

MJ- I dedicate these cookies to you, because I love you and because you are my buddy.
