I heart SNOW!!!

Check out my Flickr page to see all my first hand pictures of the snow fall. I have not seen snow like this in at least 6 years. Parts of our town lost power for over two hours and we have ten plus inches of snow on top on the pile of sleet we started off with this morning. I did go into work for about 5 hours today with my dad but we said to hell with it and came home before we got stuck at the plant overnight. School was closed for today and has been canceled for tomorrow. It feels very little house on the prairie-esque. I've been taking the dogs out on their leashes even in the back yard so i have something to fish them out of the snow with. For some odd reason my little Yorkies are snow lovers just like me. :) Of course, they have their doggie sweaters on and their super duty doggie jackets from Lands End with the reflective strips on them too. I am excited that I was able to capture the action with my camera. I will have to read the manual this weekend so i can learn the special settings.

So what do you do when you can't go anywhere? Well, you make some hot cocoa from Starby's with a shot of Hershey's chocky syrup. Mom ate all the leftover cool whip from thanksgiving otherwise i would have dumped some of that in. Then you put on your big snow skiing thick socks and fight over the good spot on the couch with your younger sister so that you can watch episodes of Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy, and Men in Trees. All were very good. I am also 3/4 of the way through the book, The Innocent Man by John Grisham, a sad but compelling read. I think I will make some more embroidered pillow cases tomorrow. I finished the unicorn pillowcase for A-dolly this past weekend, and I have two more pillow cases that I can decorate. I also plan on cranking out some serious hats this weekend.

Also, for some random reason, I got an issue of Golf Digest for Women in the mail. I didn't subscribe to this at all. ya'll, I lived across the street from a public golf course for 18 years. I know how to pop wheelies in a golf course but I can't put to save my life. In fact, I'm not even sure how to swing. That's why it was so hilarious, when I got this magazine in the mail. it is very nicely put together, so if you do like to golf and you are female, I recommend this magazine. I think I am going to tear out the travel article on Savannah and then I will recycle the rest of the magazine...LOL...

Anyways, ya'll try to stay warm, I"m crawling under my ten layers of denim quilts and pillows and plan to finish reading my book tonight.
