Snow Day!!!

I got a call at 6:02 from my favorite person. The person right above me in the phone chain that tells us if we have a snow day or not.

SNOW DAY!!!

I am supposed to call my roommate (yep, there are 2 diff. phone numbers, so we are two diff. people on the chain) so I walked over to her room and woke her up. She groaned as I said, guess what....(thinking she had overslept and was waaaay late) and then I said, we have snow day! She JUMPED out of bed SO fast and we did a huge dance and squealed and hugged, etc, etc. It's the Snow Day dance. One of our fellow teachers actually HURT herself doing the Snow Day dance. Sheesh! It was Wendy's first snow day as a teacher so it was so cute seeing her reaction. I don't think I'll ever get use to this. It's always so fun.

I just got out of the shower when she called so I dried my hair and jumped back in bed and slept until 10. Then I watched Annapolis which is a great movie, ate Mommy's homemade vegetable soup and then popped in good ole Titanic. I also reorganized my files in my really cool filing cabinet I got from Candy. Wendy and I also ordered Chinese because...that's what you do on a snow day. You order Chinese.

I also had the joy of cleaning off our cars. If you know me, you know I like doing things myself. I didn't like it tonight. I needed a guy to clean off my car. He needed to shovel and spread salt and do the manly work around the house. Not me. :-( I would have done a great job at making hot chocolate for him.

I should have taken pictures first. It's no "PA snow" but it's good enough for us! It's icy and supposed to be icy rain all night. YEAH!!!!! Let's hope for another one tomorrow!

I didn't do any school work or anything today. I've sat here with my laptop and wrote emails and caught up on things online. AND I don't regret a single CENT I spent on this laptop. It's amazing. I love that I am watching TV in my living room and emailing my friends. Priceless.

Pray for more snow! I'm going to wear my pjs inside out, sleep with spoons under my pillow and flush icecubes down the toilet...I hear that gets us a snow day....?

PS-You'll never guess what my fortune cookie said. "The days you work are the best days". Bahhh! Today I did no work and it was a "best day". :-)
