I’ve always thought to myself that i will really be an adult when i no longer look forward to snow days. If i hear about a possible storm coming and think i hope it misses us.
I must still be a kid, because when i heard there was a surprise formation of clouds that was going to dump snow on our area, all i could think was, YAY! I was hoping all day yesterday, trying at the same time not to get those hopes up too high, that it would snow enough to get us out of work. I had a dream about waking up in the morning, and seeing only a light dusting and having to go to work, but i slid into a ditch on the way there. I had another dream that i woke up and looked out the window and there was no snow at all.
Then i actually woke up, and the bedroom had that luminous quality that can only come from light reflecting off of lots and lots of snow. YAY!
The coolest part about being at home today, is that we can watch the inauguration of Barack Obama. Echoing many sentiments i’ve heard and seen in other blogs, it is just extremely awesome the progress this country had made. I’m proud to be an American today.
What does it say about me that i think it would be cool to be the person who organized the inauguration event and all the behind-the-scenes stuff that had to happen?

tomorrow will be our 2nd snow day in a row. last night i THOUGHT there’d be a snow day today, but wasn’t sure….that hope thing is so funny, trying not to care if school’s out or not, and not being able to control it. i woke up 4 times during the night to check outside, and had the dream where all the snow misses us. i don’t think i’ll ever stop loving the unexpected treat of a snow day.
i got to watch the inauguration at school with a bunch of students. what an amazing wonderful day for this country!
