Finally!

FINALLY! A Snow Day! This year has been considerably bare when it comes to things white and fluffy, (in the midwest, at least) so people have been buzzing for nearly a week when we heard we were supposed to get snow this weekend.

 And apparently the snow gods are apologizing for such a lame December.

 But they made up for it by hitting us- hard. It started snowing in the middle of the night and it hasn't stopped since. It's almost midday now and it just keeps on coming.

So here I sit, with my wonderful cup of lemon tea, and contemplating how to spend my snow day. I'm a little bit bored, actually. Really I just wanted a snow day for the sake of having a snow day. And I'm sure if I sat here long enough, I could come up with some ideas.

Maybe we'll go with mom's idea and have a John Cusack marathon. Or maybe my idea and have a John Hughes marathon. Maybe listen to music, write in my journal, read, practice my guitar, or maybe even attempt the snow blower.

Maybe I'll look at the snow blower.

Going sledding perhaps?

I always really wanted my snow days to be filled like the one in the movie "Snow Day" -where you spend you r snow days with life changing adventures, getting the girl (or boy in my case),  and managing to steal a snow plow to ensure the rest of the week off.

Now that I'm older, I know that ridiculous, but it's always a fun thought.

All the while, I'm grateful for this snow day. It's always relaxing when my dad comes in to wake me up and I'm all prepared and he goes, "Hey, it's a snow day. Go back to sleep and I'll see you later"

I know that my time for snow days is slowly coming to an end. I mean, only 2 more years of school before I'm off to college, and then the work force. It took my dad two hours to get to work today. I'm sure he's wishing he had the luxury of a snow day like me and my brother.

Well, this suburban winter wonderland is gorgeous. I might just be spending the day reading a book by the window where I can just watch God's creation.
