A Snowday.
I have to say, the hype for the winter storm that was coming our way, having originated in Texas, had me thinking James and I should stock up on groceries and nestle into our apartment, where we would be trapped for at least a good 24 hours.
So, when I woke up at 5:30 am and jumped out of bed to scope out the conditions, I was sorely disappointed to actually see the road. Thankfully, most schools had made the call the night before, making the snowday official. This was a good thing, because it meant James and I could maximize our Tuesday night activities, (Settlers at Doug and Vanessa's, then watching the Fellowship of the Ring until midnight) knowing we would be scott-free on Wednesday.
Knowing that, we were promptly up by 7:30 am to maximize the full potential of our snowday. James and I were out the door and shoveling by 8:00 am, working up our appetites for a full breakfast of bacon, eggs, toast, hashbrowns, tea/coffee/and OJ.
Since we were going to be making this delicious food, we thought we'd give some friends a shout to join us. By 10:00, Ryan, Tim, Jordan, Danielle, Matty B, Doug, and Vaness were cozily sitting in our living room while James and I worked our magic in the kitchen :)
I can appreciate cooks/my mom a lot more after that. Making food for large groups is a gift that some people just have. I'm going to keep working at it.
After breaky we settled two games of Settlers, and then people headed out. Overall, a fantastic way to spend a snowday morning.
I could say more, but I am sitting in an awkward position on this couch, and I'm noticing that it is getting increasingly more difficult to get comfortable at 7 months pregnant. No matter how many pillows I stuff under and around my back,, I can't quite hit that sweet spot.
Forget it. Time to move around.
