3rd storm in 4 weeks...


Well friends,

Once again, I'm still in my PJs (the purple ones!) at 10:30 AM on a Monday. That can, and should, only mean one thing: SNOW DAY! That's right, it's another round of winter weather sweeping the central plains, and I for one, just don't get tired of it. I don't know why... Perhaps, someday I will grow tired of freezing cold slush and tons of snow, but when it means I don't have to go to work, and an excuse to stay indoors under a blanket, I can't help but rejoice! I know there are others of you out there that get tired of the winter weather, and I completely understand...but the anticipation of waiting for my school district to show up along the bottom of the screen just does NOT get old. Think of all those moments you had as a kid waiting for school to be called off, it was like this door of limitless possibility just opened and you had the whole day OFF! I even had my lunch made for today, which means I don't have to make it for tomorrow, IF we even have school tomorrow! Ahh..., kind of awesome.
So now, I have the day before me...thinking about doing some yoga, thinking about watching a movie, thinking about reading and resting, who knows?! The point is, the day is OPEN! :)
I was even surprised to see KSU was closed today, that's a bit unheard of--at least when I was an undergrad.

I hope you have enjoyed my ode-to-a-snow-day, perhaps, you too will find a unique fondness to see an entire city laminated with an icy glaze, and then wait eagerly for the snow to begin falling, forcing us all to pause amidst our busy schedules and just look around. Kind of like stopping to smell the roses; winter style!

Muha--OUT! :)

PS--that's not me..just to clarify:)

It's been too long

Hi blog world,
Where has the time gone? I have missed discussing the major events in my life with you. I've missed the sweet documentation of happenings large and small, funny or kind of lame. So, let's see...I've given in to Twitter. I tweet. Sort of. I mainly follow some funny celebs in a "subtle" attempt perhaps "run into them" whenever I happen to be in the same "major city" that they "are in." Over use of "? Probably...just like my pal Joey Tribianni, probably not using them right. Oh well.
So, it's the start of Spring Semester 2011 and let me tell you the talk at the teacher table: SNOW DAYS! When are we going to have them, how to not get disappointed by possibility of this blessed event and re-living past awesome ice-storms (for those who had power the whole time...) and staying in the same pair of sweat pants for 3 days straight. In fact, said pants, earned the title of snow day pants! And I remember our time together fondly when I slip them on.
Also new talk from the halls of high school: this year's PROM theme! Want to hear my ideas? Well, I was on a roll:
Saving Private Ryan: everyone comes dressed at WWII soldiers!
The Great Depression: Everyone comes as pan-handlers looking haggard and with dirt on their faces! CHEAP decorations, just old metal trash cans with smoldering newspaper fires and holes with finger holes and we're good!
TRON: Everyone comes dressed in black with glow-stick taped to them dancing in techno craziness inspired by Wii Just Dance 2!
Full House/Saved by the Bell: Rockin' 80's. Nuff said, I'll come as DJ Tanner!
Roaring 20's: actually liked this one..flapper dresses, pin-stripe suits, swing dancing..
Vampires Suck: fangs are the sexy according to the newest Bachelor Brad Womack...everyone comes with pale, sparkly faces or as a werewolf and fight it out of over angst brunette's, who wouldn't enjoy that?
What sounds good to you?
Hmm, let's see, that might be it for now, but I'll keep you up to date with any new ideas that are proposed today!

Thank you Pandora for my 90's station!
