SNOWED IN

Well, I thought I'd have to wait until next year for a snow day (I know that 'next year' jokes the week of New Years Eve are really clever) but, I was wrong. I know. You're all upset because you view me as a source of knowledge and morality, and if I'm wrong about something, then what's right?

But anyway, it started snowing yesterday. I was at home in FT, and was woken up by my mom who said something like 'If you want to go to Kohls and grocery shopping then you need to get up now'. The 'if' implied that the trip wasn't guaranteed. Sensing that a trip to Kohls could easily be ripped out from under my feet, I got up...and sat around. But then, I got ready.


It had already started to snow by the time we left for Kohls at 11 am.

YUCK. I mean...maybe not yuck. Snow in general isn't bad...in fact, sometimes, it's kind of magical.

FIGURE A: FIGURE B:It just becomes tricky when snow, magical and pretty in its own right, starts to interfere with your plans. And by 'your' plans, I mean 'my' plans.

Even things I love like unicorns and cats, were they to interfere with fun things I'd lined up, would tread on my bad side. So snow, which I don't feel so positively towards, obviously positions itself on my S-H-I-T list when it comes into town and threatens to interrupt my discount shopping.

Anyway, back to yesterday. By 12:45, Mom and I had finished up grocery shopping (including a trip to T!R!A!D!E!R! J!O!E!S!), and I was on the road back to Queens.

And I made it. There was a spot right in front of my house, for which I was thankful as I began to unload my overnight bag. And my laundry. And my presents. And my groceries.

What I'm trying to say is, life is really rough.

And now, here I am, snowed in. It's Monday now. So, I've been in my apartment, chilling, for a day.

For those of you who know me, you understood how weird this is for me. I enjoy afternoons of solitary shopping and walks around the city by my lonesome, but I don't tend to spend days by myself. Actually, I honestly can't remember the last time I spent a WHOLE day by myself. I mean, sometimes, if I have plans on a weekend night, and I'm tired from my STRESSFUL LIFE (that was supposed to be over the top THANK YOU), I'll just catch up on my DVR during the day, make dinner, and then head out to whatever soiree I've been invited to. I'm really popular.


But, I can't remember the last time I did nothing during the afternoon, and evening, and then woke up in the morning to do nothing, followed by an afternoon of nothing, and then maybe a nap, and then an evening of lounging.

And you know what? It hasn't been THAT bad. I'm pretty enjoyable! Sure, I enter a semi-sloth mode when left alone to my own devices, and then when I do end up having conversations with people they're awkward and I giggle a lot, but, if the Nuclear Holocaust were to go down, and I was left alone, I think I'd be OK. I mean...I'd MISS all of you so I'd be really sad...uh...but besides that. Just fine.

I've:

-Eaten some cookies
-Eaten some skittles
-Eaten some cheese (sensing a pattern?)
-Watched some 'Soap' (anyone else watching this / watched this besides me and Kate?)
-Watched 'Annie Hall'
-Watched 'Dr. Phil' (try as I may, I can't seem to kick the habit)
-Napped
-Napped
-Watered my plant
-Eaten some jelly beans
-Taken a shower (because I was GOING to go out but then, you know, decided against it...yuck)

In conclusion, Snow is still on my 'list'...esp. as it is now over 36 hours since it started snowing and they haven't plowed my street...but...it's not all bad. Maybe tomorrow I can see real people?!!!
