Yes, it is snowing - AGAIN!! We've already had 5 snow days, now we're in for 2 or 3 more! We've lost Easter Monday and added 3 days on to the end of the year. The next loss is part of our spring break. I think this is a plan by the school district to introduce us to year-around schooling.
The earlier snow days at least allowed me to get out of the house by the afternoon. One day I went for a massage, did a little shopping, just had a leisurely enjoyable day. I plan to enjoy every snow day to the max---as I'll be making up for them in June!!
This snow is different though. More like memorable snow days I have spent in Wisconsin. Not going to get out of the house for a couple of days. Therefore I must keep myself from succumbing to cabin fever!! I no longer have cross country skiis, ice skates, or snow shoes---so it is indoor activities for me.
I do have facebook now to keep me connected to the world. And I had to laugh out loud at one person's thread that talked about picking out the weakest link in your family in case you ran out of food. With only Wayne and myself here, there would be only limited options. (If only Hayley were still here :) Unfortunately, I'm thinkin that I'm the weak link and if Wayne were desperate enough---he could stay fed for at least a month if snowed in.
Now my neighbor thought these kind of thoughts were quite ghoulish!! Of course she isn't from the great white north and doesn't understand that people up north have 5 or 6 kids for the express purposes of having a food supply if things become desperate in the great snowy darkness of the northern climes.
Perhaps that is why she declined my invitation to sup with us on a delectable meal of chicken tortilla soup and corn bread this evening. I wonder if she was a little worried about being added to my stock pot?????
So what shall I do to occupy myself for the next couple of days? I can share the pleasure of my thoughts with the great world wide web via this blog and facebook, I have a prayer shawl to finish crocheting, and I've got lots of books and journals at my disposal. I have baking supplies and as long as I have electricity I can make cookies and cakes and pies. I have the TV and NetfFlicks and lots of exercise videos and DVDs (which I'll need if I do all that baking). And best of all -- my husband is stuck here with me--- so.......I believe we could find some inventive ways to kill time :) Let's just leave it at that!
So what's happening in your little corner of the world????
