Do You Know What Day It Is?

A snow day!!!

This is my third day of a snow day and I have one tomorrow.  Means I work from home.  It's soo nice being able to work from home.  I wish I would have brought my calendar home and some other things that I could have worked on.

I'm so Thankful for this time.  This has been such a blessing.  

The down side of everything is, I have gained 10 lbs.  All I've been doing is eating.  I shouldn't of went to the store.  A week before my Arizona trip, sucks to be me.  It's all good.  

I went outside to check out the view from the snow storm.  Roughly 12-13 inches of snow.  Silly me I did not park on the street.  I was banking on having a snow day for the rest of the week but I got a little scared because the news said and looked like they were getting cleared pretty quickly.

I don't just have time or in the position to call in with my new job and all.  Even if school is cancelled, I have a meeting on Friday and I will probably have to be there.  The job still goes on even if school is cancelled.

I got up this morning around 10:30a and started the fun task of getting me to the street.  This was after an hour of shoveling.  So note to self next time, make sure you check the rock salt.  It was completely hard and I had to beat it again the house.  I was tired but I felt like I was making progress even though it didn't look like it.

This is my 'tude face!!! Yes, shoveling snow is a good stress reliever.  I realized that I need some more peppy songs on my Ipod.  I had it on shuffle but it kept playing the sappy love songs that made me think of him and I wanted to cry but I just took it out on the snow.  Even though I had my headphones on, I did a lot of thinking.

I came back out around 2p and I sure didn't want to.  I wanted a nap but all I was thinking was I might have to go in so I have to get my car out.  Also, this 10 lbs that I gained.  I needed to burn calories.  And low and behold, 2hrs later. I made it to the top.  I pretty much did it all by myself.

Now, I will admit, I was thinking while shoveling, Where is Boaz?! Yes, it would be nice for him to do this but I was thinking this would have been a good activity for us to do together.  I would help him as I know the struggle and then I would make us some hot chocolate and take care of him.

My neighbor Shannon came out and helped me do the top portion and crack ice.  I tried getting up the hill but was not getting any traction.  So we broke a lot of the ice and "I started at the bottom and now I'm here".  One of my neighbors, we called him Nice Mike came and helped shovel the top part too and a spot on the road.  

Shoveling snow is a good neighbor bonding time.

Yesterday during the snow, guess what I made? 

Snow Ice Cream

4 cups of Fresh Snow (not the yellow stuff)

1 cup of Milk (I used chocolate milk)

1/4 cup of Sugar

1 tsp of Vanilla

Stir and tada!!  I did put in the freezer to harden up just a little.  But not bad at all.

I wished my Bestie was here so we could have done it together.  I think he would have liked it.  It would have been a good memory getter too.  Oh well.

I wish he was here so we could cuddle.  Even though he won't cuddle with me but I still just hope.

I am now medicated and under blankets.  Excited about being home again tomorrow.
