Let it snow.  That’s what we say in schools where an inch of snow shuts down our school system.  It seems immature, for sure.

I can’t explain the joy of the first snow day.  The inner child gleefully embraces the stolen time off.  I go back to bed while my husband readies himself for his work.  A couple hours later I go downstairs to find pure daylight and read the morning paper.  I don’t just read the news section but take in the style, metro, and business sections as well.  Then I consider the possibilities.  A walk to the gym for a weekday morning workout?  Go to the neighborhood cafe for some cuppa and a good book?  Clean the house?  Call my mom?  The possibilities are limitless.

We spent six days off last week, two for a weekend, one for a holiday, and three because of snow and ice.  I couldn’t bring myself to come to the blog.  Forgive my absence.  I’m back, for now.  Unless it snows again tomorrow… there’s a threat of the scary “wintry mix.”
