Aww, your neighborhood is love, sara. Also had to laugh at your mom's "when it clears out," because that's the way I think of snow, too! It's perfectly clear and everything's passable the next day, or maybe in a few days tops. There's still snow up the mountain from us, but ours is completely dry by this point. No more predicted for a while, more's the pity.
Dancing Grace is supercute!
Nurturing Emmett is also supercute!
My shortest commute day is padding in my pjs from my bedroom to my office. That never gets snowed out. But my longest one is just under an hour and a half on a good day. Fortunately, the marvels of technology mean I can now check the roadside weather station cameras to decide if I'm going in or not. And then tell the teacher on Facebook I won't be there. Very handy.
However, I am now on winter break, so after church tomorrow morning, there is nowhere I must be until Thursday. Bliss.
Grace is such a cutie.
Emmett is a sweetie.
I'm watching Happy Feet, too. It's quite the animation marathon here. But OMG those Santa Baby promos make me want to stab someone. Preferably Jenny McCarthy.
Liese, my lizard brain still operates on the wait it out. But nsm reality. I DRIVE to snow, and then leave it, damnit. I've had to reframe.
Hee. It's funny for me, because growing up just off Lake Erie in northern Ohio, I believe fundamentally that it snows in fall and stays there until spring. But at this point I've lived out here long enough that I just assume it's going to be clear soon and all I have to do is tuck in for a bit. I don't even check the forecast, really. It's so lovely and sunny even when it's cold.
So the nfl.com "live" showing of the game is at least 3 minutes behind live.
omg Paula Dean on Iron Chef and that woman just does not do FAST.
Gifts are wrapped, laundry done... nothing packed. My dad seems to think I should arrive before dark. Um, it's a 9 hour drive. We don't get that much daylight tomorrow and I am not a morning person.
you could leave now. HAHAHAAH.
I'm watching
Threesome.
I have no idea how I watched this in the theatre. The entire thing is watch from the hall.
Happy Feet is on here too.
Just finished baking a gross of soft ginger cookies. Need to clean the kitchen before I go to bed, but I'm taking a kitchen break first.
