Dude, this snow is freaking me out. I've lived in NC for nearly 22 years, I don't ever remember getting snow this early, much less having it stick. Normally I'd be like YAY SNOW but instead I'm WTF CLIMATE CHANGE.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

If it helps any, it's 48 here! We usually have the same weather as you 2 hours earlier but I guess there is a front between us today.

It is odd, smonster. Makes me wonder what the rest of the winter's going to be like.

Calli, I mean, remember June? Hotter than hell. And now snow already.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
The three girls have played dress up, house, and emptied Emeline's toyboxes onto the once very clean floor. They've had dinner, watched a princess movie, and are now cleaning up Emeline's VERY TRASHED room in preparation for Movie Night (How to Train Your Dragon) complete with popcorn.

Gotta say, I prefer this end of things. If we get a really snowy winter I'll get new tires on the car and buy some skiis. Win!

I just took a hot shower after meeting with one of my old h.s. students to tutor her in reading. She's ESL, and FB'd me, asking for help. "I don't really know how to read; I've been faking it all these years, but I want to go to college and be a elementary teacher or a therapist."
She's absolutely right; she's very smart, but all the back-and-forth over the years...she doesn't really know letters and sounds.
I am sad I never caught this, but she worked really hard to hide it, and followed everything really well in class; I thought she was just a bad speller.
If anyone has a resources to adult-learner materials, esp. on-line audio and video, or printable resources for the BASICS, please email me or link them.
And now, I am going to have a delicious meals and birthday drinks with my girlfriends! BRR. It's COLD out there, must drink red wine to combat!

How brave of her. I am misty just reading this. And good on you for helping her. Yay, people!

One of my friends here works for Eddie Bauer (corporate, not one of the stores) and they can rent like, tents and stuff--so when it snowed the other week, she borrowed snowshoes from work! How cool is that?
