The kid in me is yelling yippee! Snow days and three-day weekends are two of life's little pleasures for this working adult. I'm not sure which is better.
Snow days come with the element of the unexpected, and give us an excuse to slow down and enjoy the wonders of nature -- as long as there's not TOO much snow to shovel! There's a certain magic, though, in bundling up and sitting with a nice hot cup of tea or hot chocolate and watching the snow accumulate on the trees outside.
Three-day weekends are on the calendar years in advance, so you have the opportunity to plan something special. Some of my work friends are doing just that. Russ and Lil are off to the West Virginia mountains, and Bill is headed for Foxboro for tomorrow's Patriots game.
We don't have any special plans, although I'm thinking about picking up an oven-stuffer-roaster to put in the crock pot today. After a couple of days of good weekend eating, we'll end up with soup for next week. (I throw in some homemade noodles made with poultry seasoning. As Rachel Ray would say, "Yummo!")
We'll be watching football tomorrow and working on "House of Usher" costumes off and on, and all in all, it should be a relaxing, fun weekend.
