Ok, I made it through and the rockets were really fun. Worthwhile. Now food and home and crash out.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Local folks on my friendslist are speculating as to when the public schools will re-open. My guess is Wednesday; others are guessing as late as NEXT MONDAY. Because, basically, we have to wait for the snow to melt, having no tools to deal with it, and there is very little above-freezing weather in the forecast. But, I will be so tired of my children by Wednesday, let alone next week. Please melt, snow.

Oh, flea. I still shudder when I remember being home during the snowstorms last year with the baby and the dog and my DH in Vienna, telling me via Skype how he talked to people and ate in restaurants . . .
I really need to lock down my dates for that trip.
Yes! I sent you an email yesterday b/c my niece wants to visit, too.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
My ear is plugged up and won't clear out. I feel like swatting at it like a confused cat.

I feel your pain, Dana. Mine finally cleared on Wednesday (five days later!) but I'm still all congested and so on.
I am trying to convince a friend that she really wants to go on vacation with me to Mexico, and rent a house for a week. And get a bunch of our other friends to come with. I am dreaming big.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I'm already getting approval for my two vacations I've got planned for the year. One to see my sister in Vegas in April (flying out on Thursday so she can pick me up at the airport on her way home from work, then hanging around her house on Friday while she's working, then I get to spend time with her and her family on the weekend and fly home on Monday morning), and the other to NJ to see my mom for two weeks in August, when we're going to take a drive up to Maine and stop by Boston on the way home to see my cousin and her family.
Definitely looking forward to getting some away-from-here time!!!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I kinda drew a chick in one of our meetings. Only kinda. I only reproduced her hair. It was fabulous, complicated hair. I did not try for a resemblance. The hair came out very well. I don't regret a thing.
So there!

Sparky, I got your message. I need to bug my dad for his promised contribution so that I can book the airfare.

Flea, as a person who almost never has a snowday, I am boggled and insanely jealous. Though, I understand how cabin fever would set in after a day or so.
