Snow Day!

On Monday we were all talking about how this huge snow storm was on it's way to Columbus. Of course, no one believed it. Usually when they say HUGE SNOWSTORM, we really get 1 inch of snow. However, to all of our surprises, we awoke yesterday morning to 3-4 inches of snow! Every school in the Columbus area was closed, people couldn't get to work, even some businesses were closed. By 9:00 most of my friends had communicated with each other that we did not have work. So, what better thing to do than to all be in the same place and hang out all day! The next logical thing to do was to gather everyone up and go sledding. yes, at 9pm last night in the snow and sleet, we braved the elements to go sledding. There is something about snow that turns people into 5 year old. After a few hours we decided it was time to be dry, so we went to Kathy's house and drank hot chocolate and watched the Office and hung out...the whole day was glorious! We went home late thinking that we would all probably need to go to work at some point on Wednesday. Well, we are now in a level-2 snow emergency. And, for the 4th time since 1950 (or somewhere close to that date), OSU is closed. The last time this happened was right around this time in 2003. Yay for snow days! The trick is, can I do something productive with the time?

I am an aunt...sort of!

At 2:14 this afternoon, one of my closest friends (an her husband) had their first child. Molly weighs 7lb 6ounces and she is BEAUTIFUL! Amanda and I went to the hospital to visit them after work today. It was definitely emotional, although I only cried a little and I didn't throw-up. About half way through Abby's pregnancy I had this re-occurring dream that when I went to the hospital to visit her I threw up. I was really hoping that this was not a prophetic dream... and it wasn't! It was just kind of a surreal experience to see my college roommate and one of my best friends with her baby... she is a mom. I think I am still wrapping my head around that. Anyways, here is a picture of myself and Molly!

Oh the weather outside is frightful...

So, we were really spoiled here in Ohio during November and December with our 50 degree days and sun and only needing a light jacket to enjoy the outdoors. I remember around Christmas people were saying, "will we ever have a winter?" Well, today is that day. It has been FREEZING. However, I do not let the cold get me down. In fact, I work the cold to my advantage. Tomorrow will make the second day that my schools have been closed because it is too cold outside! Yes, that's right, two days without my schools. It's almost like Christmas. Granted, I still have my private clients in the afternoon, but I get to sleep in and eat my breakfast on the couch and watch some TV. Oh, it's lovely. Wednesday will be sad when I actually have to work a full day. Oh well, all good things must come to an end. But, it will be a blazing 21 degrees on Wednesday, so they surely won't cancel school. Well, I am off to go enjoy my warm bed! Stay warm all my Midwestern friends!!
