I want a snow day!!! I am so tired, I can hardly stand it.
But it is my last day before a week off, so I should count my blessings (and the minutes).
Bunnies frighten me.

My across-the-street neighbor who will shovel, then plow, then shovel again, is plowing after last night's big snow/ice/snow storm. At 7:30 a.m. Slowing down at times to holler at someone, I know not whom.
All this when I know he's either retired or works from home and could do this crap at 9 or 10.
Toolish, yes?

Yeah, the Boston area is shut down, and now the weather report says not much will be happening until mid-afternoon. I guess the Commute From Hell last year put the Fear of Snow back into the authorities.
Me, I have a Networking Group to go attend. Since I got the best lead of my life from one a year+ ago (that I could get Unemployment extended while I was in school!) I can hope that lightning will strike twice....

I fear if this turns out to be not much of a storm, that it will cause the authorities to underestimate the next one that comes along.

Somehow we are supposed to be missing this storm, but getting another on Sunday. I hope this is true, b/c I am supposed to fly home tomorrow.

It sort of cycles that way, doesn't it? And as they run out of snow day funds through the season, they get more cautious about when they declare a snow emergency, too.
But it strikes me that late Friday afternoon is the best time for an anticipated Snowpocalypse -- everyone is happy about leaving early, and they have all weekend to dig out the cars and sidewalks, get the power turned back on, not worry about the kids being without childcare, et cetera.

It's supposed to be 70 degrees here today. And it is incredibly humid and foggy. So weird - it feels like March. Not Christmassy.

I am at mac's school for a presentation and he is denying to other students that I am his mom, then smiling and giggling at me. Hilarious.

Yeah, we're supposed to be pushing 80 today, but right now it's sixty and super foggy and I just can't see how that's going to happen.

hee! He obviously wants you to run up and give him lots of kisses and call him your Sweetiepie.

It's rainy and yucky here, but not freezing, which is good. Yesterday, I told all the people I supervise that I didn't want to see them after lunch, and they should go do whatever shopping they'd planned for Saturday morning. Considering the Dean has already sent me 3 messages this morning, I may actually be working hard today.
