Snow day.......YEA!!!

The wonderful snow started on Friday morning.

Around 2 p.m. I called work to see if we were still going to be open. Dwayne said yes......bummer. I arrived at the normal time to begin the shift for the night. Nancy & Rachel had been there since 1:00.

We weren't busy. Someone got the idea they wanted pizza. After some deliberation, they decided to get it from Pizza Cottage in Buckeye Lake. Oh no........they don't deliver. I volunteered to pick up the pizza. Thirty minutes later I'm back at work.

Nancy called Sopapilla Express to see if Dwayne was working. He wasn't. Stacy, his wife, gave Nancy his cell phone #. (Poor Dwayne, the prank calls will now begin.) Nancy called Dwayne on his cell, she wanted to know if we could close early. Nope, that wasn't going to happen. Because Nancy & Rachel were there long before Cierra & I, he had them go home first. Not sure how many customers I had, I just know I wasn't busy. We did close at 9:00. Cierra & I walked out the door around 9:15 p.m.

Driving home was awesome. It may have been nighttime, but it was so bright outside that it seemed more like daytime. During those times, I see myself walking in the woods, sledding riding, etc. It was gorgeous.


Saturday morning, today, I was awakened by a phone call from Roseann at 7:48 a.m. LaPaloma will be closed today. Yippee!!!


I fell back to sleep until 11 a.m., got up, got dressed and went outside for a couple hours to shovel 12" of snow off the driveway. Half way done, the neighbor says "borrow the snow blower" to finish the rest. What a blessing that was.


I tried to brush off all the snow I had on me before coming into the house. I looked like a snowman. When I sat down at the computer, I didn't realize my pants were wet I just thought my legs were cold. I quickly changed out of them. I would say it took me 3 hours to get warm again. It was cold outside.


In between shoveling and the snow blower, I took pictures of Stacy & Michael for their save the date cards. Out of 44 photos maybe 3 were good enough to use. The photo above is one of those photos. It probably would have been a good one if I hadn't cut her hand off. It's still looks good though.

I've been wanting to do something with the basement. I had thought about working on it all day. Finally, around 9:30 p.m., I started. I rearranged half of the basement and I hung some sheets as a makeshift wall separation. I need to get another one to finish that task. I would like to get a piece of carpet so the kids won't have to sit on the cement floor. The little TV still works for the VHS movies. Sounds like a plan doesn't it?

I needed this snow day to do nothing. Finally, a three day weekend!
Received a phone call.....no church tomorrow. I'm going to feel like I'm on vacation! Three days in a row to sleep in!

Have fun in the snow!
