First Snow: Day 2

I am a snow hater. It began during my childhood, when snow days meant we were stuck at home all day, with nothing to do. Being a home-schooler, we were already at home all.of.the.time, anyways so having snow just meant that not only were we at home, but we really really couldn't get out and do any of our normally scheduled activities. (Just cause we were home school doesn't mean we were socialized..) So whenever, I heard the word snow, the last thing I felt was happiness. However, in the last year or so, I've come to realized how awesome it is to be able to stay at home...all.day. with nothing to do.  So I began to cultivate a little bit of hope...that perhaps...just perhaps..my job would not only delay coming in for two hours..but perhaps give me the whole day off? 

Snow collected on my porch railing .

Despite laying in bed, hoping and praying my work would go ahead and close down for the day, around 8:30AM I realized, I'd better go ahead and start getting ready. I was greeted by about three inches of snow, apparently this is un-heard of in this early, in my area.

 In true doxie form, Bubbles and Texas pottied and headed back inside as fast as possible. While Pompei and I walked down to check out the roadways.. 

They were passable, so I knew I had to give up my dreams of spending the day with a book....or prepping for my English final tomorrow.. Once I'd fed the dogs, scraped the car clean of snow, and warmed it up. I set out for what I was sure going to be adventurous ride. 

It wasnt. Thankfully. I didn't have any trouble in the curvy/areas with drop offs, at the intersection at the end of our road,however, I slid through and prayed no cars were coming, cause I couldn't and wasn't going to stop. The interstates were clear, and I made it work in good time. Now three hours later, I'm dying to go home, I'm hoping there will be milk left at the stores, so I can make some hot chocolate while I attempt to study tonight! Aahhh. 


First the first time, in ...a long time, I can say I love snow days. 


I talked to my family, who should be wandering around Disney in Orlando FL right about now, and they are complaining because the weather is in the 20's! Would it be bad of me to snicker a little bit here? Ok fine, I won't, but needless to say, i'm all kinds of happy that I didn't drop everything and go.
