Archives for October 31, 2011

Sunday morning I woke up to this:

It was pretty and all, but snow and I don’t get along all that well. I’m a fair weather fan. You know, Thanksgiving and Christmas are awesome occasions for snow, and I embrace it, but other than that snow falls into the same category for me as Sunday night. Bleh.

There is one other time that I love snow, and more specifically, snow storms. And that is when I get to have the day off from school. The town where I work lost power and were unable to restore it in time for school today. Gleeeee! SNOW DAY are two of the most beloved words that a teacher can hear. And although I have to admit that October 31st is a little early for a snow day, and that this makes me a little nervous for the rest of the winter (we had 5 snow days last year and had to go a whole extra week at school to make up for it), i’ll take it! Any reason to get a day off is a good enough reason to put a smile on this girl’s face.

Right now I’m sitting on the couch in my stretch pants, watching DVRed ELLENs and drinking a cup of fog lifter coffee. It’s quite glorious, I’m not going to lie.

I’ve also got a incredibly long list of things that I want to do on this day off. Here’s some ideas that are reeling in my head:

finish my curtains

make something delish for dinner in my le creuset

write some blog posts

go to Homegoods

do all my laundry

watch Something Borrowed

finish Catching Fire

hang up some artwork in the apartment

look for a rug for the bedroom

take a nap

It’s doubtful I’ll get to them all (or even half, really), especially since the idea of getting off the couch does not seem like a likely one at the moment, but we’ll see what happens. You never know, sometimes I surprise myself.

Happy Monday, everyone! A very happy Monday indeed.
