Some things make you feel like a kid!

nothing like snow to bring back some of the joys of playing and just being young.  Last night, when sledding for the first time in years...I just couldn't help but laugh all the way down the hill - every single time...loved it, just ate it up.  And you know when you get to the bottom of the hill after wiping out, and it's just fun to lay there and catch your breath...letting the snow hit your face...

What is the only thing better than lots of snow?  Getting a snow day!!  Nothing like a forced cancellation due to blizzard conditions that just makes you smile.  Cheers to a morning of pj wearing, coffee sipping, and doing work from your living room=)

p.s. if your not as lucky and forced to drive today...please be safe!

funny fact of the weekend

So, I learned something random about myself this weekend as I was dog/house sitting...

Being the kind individual I am/trying to pay it forward, I decided to shovel.  I was like "yeah, I just go whip this snow into place quickly..."

Um, like an hour and a half later, I'm done.  Yeah, no "quickly" was happening with this shoveling situation.  "Why" you ask?  For some reason - I'm extremely anal!  What the heck?  I don't know if it was because it was someone else's property or what, but I just had to make a perfect rectangle out of their driveway...I would not let any patches or unevenness go...weird.  It was a little unnecessary, but I just could not rationalize with myself.

So, thank God I live in an apartment and shoveling is not part of my winter routine.  I'd be wasting my time away!
